The events of the last few days have left many questions in the minds of Zambians.One of which is – is State house haunted?.
After burying the late president Michael Sata in October last year,the late president Frederick Chiluba in June 2011 and late president Levy Mwanawasa in August 2008, Zambians were understandably concerned when President Lungu unceremoniously collapsed during the Woman’s day celebrations in Lusaka on Sunday, March 8th.A collective sigh of relief was breathed when pictures of a president Lungu smiling in his hospital room at Maina Soko hospital were released.
Since Zambia has lost 3 presidents in a short space of time, probably breaking any world records.There is evidently something going on that needs to be addressed.
My guess is, in order to exorcise the ghost of State House,Zambia needs to invest in it’s health care systems.The Zambian money that has for the past 20 years helped enrich the South African Medical system could have improved the Zambian health care system 100 times over if it was rather invested here.Zambian public health systems also need to be revamped because Zambia as a nation does not seem to be very healthy.Until then the Ghost of State House will continue haunting us for years to come.
By Zambian in prayer
Presidents are human and fall sick just like any other human being.
State house has nothing to do with their deaths.
Presidents die all over the world…nothing strange here
How many countries have you heard of that have lost 3 presidents in a space of 6 years? Are we less human than other countries?
For the haunt to become reality we need a bye election this year
Thanks
Bb2014
Kaunda must have left something there, even RB had a knee problem when he was there , but he is fine now.
Just all sick presidents.. Check there health before coming president ,.
@Gen mwila tu bepa whci country loses president like Zambia.Its not normal ,there is something wrong with as Zambians.Why do we vote for sick people to state house when it is very clear they are sick.Dont test God .Lets do what is right ,then Zambia will be saved.Were you look at others and say I cant vote HH but a chicken,on the other hand you say you are a Christian nation ,My foot.
I think this coincidence is a bit much. I mean what are the odds? I’m also beginning to think maybe our first president left something in that office. And I’m not usually a superstitious person. Apparently someone last year made a prophecy that the next president would fall sick after only two months in office and if people don’t pray against this thing we will be having another by election sooner than 2015??? To UPND supporters this is no time to celebrate because even your HH is under threat if he ever finds himself in that office. Let’s all pray for our country.
State house is not haunted. Its some section of Zambia people who are haunted with spirits of poverty and ignorance. They vote for a political party not individual capacity.
Now when is development going to be delivered if another hospitalised president is in statehouse?
Shame on demon haunted people. Leave state house alone.
Zambians elected Mwanawasa knowing very well that he was sick, same with Sata and same with Lungu….The blame is squarely on the people that vote
#bringbackkennethkaunda
Statehouse and the pressures of presidency require a healthy individual, not a known sickling, of course he won’t be able to handle the work there.
ARE ZAMBIANS THAT SUPERSTITIOUS? A NORMAL ILLNESS HAS BEEN OVER-BLOWN. I AM PRETTY SURE EVEN A DOG WOULD KNOW THAT DOING A MARATHON CAMPAIGN FOR CONTINUOUSLY ONE MONTH WOULD ONE WITH HIGH FATIGUE OR EVEN BROKEN DOWN. EDGAR LUNGU DID HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENCY IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH WHILE OTHER LOSERS HAD A COMFORTABLE 3 MONTHS OR MORE OF CAMPAIGN TIME. WORSE STILL, HE WAS DOING A MINIMUM 3 RALLIES PAY DAY NON-STOP AND IN CONTINUOUS TRAVEL. SO, WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING SO SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT LUNGU’S ILLNESS?
NOSENSE, you elect sick and worn out president just to accuse a building? these have had it all…….name them, sex, beer, cigar what else? and you expect them to last long
chiluba died after leaving office
Robin, have facts with you. RB’s knee problem was as a result of falling after drinking with the Kenyan counter part in SA.
It is Zambians who are haunted because they like voting for very sick candidates.
On Zambians, my views:
– High tendency to think with heart than brain on many critical issues,
– Declaration being Christian Nation has given control of God to do their bidding, thus calls for prayers for sick presidents blah,
– High ignorance levels on human body systems functioning as people seem to think repairs can be made as in a vehicle engine or machine that when broken can be refurbished to 100 % efficiency,
– Expenditure decisions in a struggling economy are trivialized and not attached with accountability,
– Are prejudicial of and take to task a messenger and not the source
– Have allowed the presidency to shift from being dumb to dummer,
– Will advise “Ask the hippo or crocodile how the other lives” but don’t believe any or better insult the hippo or croc after…
What a dumb article and shallow article!
There is nothing wrong with state house. We have been told time and again that these presidents are sick so don’t vote for them but we have turned a blind eye because the next strong candidate is tonga. It hurts. Let them die. But I wish the president well because he didn’t vote for himself.
Dumbness! You intellectually challenged, superstitious people should realize that Zambia has one of lowest life expectancies in the world. As such, mathematically and scientifically, that increases the probability of death for the old presidents that you usually elect. If you factor in the out-dated, medieval health care system, it means that even if presidents (or the general public) go for checkups, symptoms or early stages of illness are hardly diagnosed. As a result, they only find out later on when the sickness is in its advanced stages. This ain’t no rocket science! No need for superstition here!
You missed the sarcasm. The writer stated, “in order to exorcise the ghost of State House,Zambia needs to invest in it’s health care systems.The Zambian money that has for the past 20 years helped enrich the South African Medical system could have improved the Zambian health care system 100 times over if it was rather invested here.”
The above implied that the “ghost” lies in the failure of State House tenants to upgrade our health institutions to world class level. What they have been seeking in foreign countries could have easily been achieved by investing that money in developing domestic facilities.
Get it?
Kabimba’s girlfriend, Mushota it will not happen. There will be general elections next year and Mr. Lungu will win 2016 and 2021 elections. he will retire in style in 2026. In the meantime, your sickly Kabimba, red lips Kabimba will be dead and buried unsung. By the way, how is his american colored girlfriend, your competitor?
@gen
You are right presidents are humans and all humans die. The problem is with us Zambians who are stupid because we put presidents with terminal illnesses!
Rubbish, all those presidents who died or fell ill in State house where known to be very ill even before going there. Please spare us the trash some of think even though many Zambians prefer not to especially when it comes to voting!!
Yes, the state house is hunted. Some wonderful Politicians never even made to the state house, Mr Kebby Musokotwane. But if you all remember correctly after the sudden death of Nalumina Mundia, President KK by then had a cast on his hand which was broken by the fight they had with the Ghost of Mundia. His body was in the state house refrigerator. KK, this man left something. Chiluba got cooked across the boarder, that’s why he survived throughout his Presidency.
I cannot believe an intelligent journalist can write such an article! It lacks depth and it is irrational. Which State House is haunted? We should be realistic. A person to be president needs good health because of the pressure and demands of the job. And why should people blame KK? We need to change our mind set!
David’s Temple must be destroyed and those maharajas chased. Bring back the monkey too.
THERE IS NO GHOST AT STATE HOUSE, ALL PRESIDENTS WHO HAS PASSED ON HAD A HISTORY OF HEALTH PROBLEMS. HOW MANY TIMES DID CHILUBA GO TO S/AFRICA FOR MED. TREATMENT? SATA BEFORE BEING ELECTED WAS SERVED BY MWANAWASA.
RECENTLY BEFORE THE BY- ELECTION, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT LUNGU IS SICK BUT PEOPLE DID NOT BELIEVE AND WENT AHEAD AND ELECTED HIM.
IN FACT THE DOCTORS WHO GAVE HIM A CLEAN HEALTH CERTIFICATE AFTER ELECTIONS SHOULD BE TASKED AS TO WHY AFTER ONLY A MONTH COMPLICATIONS HAVE SET IN.
Its Bembas who are guilty of voting for sick individuals as Presidents. State House is very clean. Levy was sick and earned himself the cabbage title. During campaigns the guy used to spit in public. Bembas went ahead to vote for him. Later he died. Sata too was sick before becoming President having suffered a heart attack earlier. Regardless of this Bembas went ahead to make him President. Later he died. And now there is this Chagwa Agwa. We were warned before elections that the man has kidney issues but Bembas still went ahead to give him the Presidency. And now the same Bembas are saying State House is Haunted. Lets pray for the President. Pray to who? Which God answers prayers from people who willfully make silly mistakes?
And these bembas you hate so much will never vote for your presiden.continue spreading your hatred
TT aka Shimpundu aka badminton former Employee of Znbc interpreter for HH in Kasama..iyo you have tried….keep the faith
Shut up you nega negan. Hh will never enter states because the Zambbian democracy and demography work against. Without the bemba dialect you have no chance.
Be good to bembas if u want power.
2016 we shall sentitise the bemba and eastern block NOT to vote for the U5 NEGA NEGAN
@ TT its not only Bemba’s but the responsibility falls on each and every voter who armed with the fact went ahead to cast their vote in preference for the unhealthy individual. You are however right on prayer for this blah blah is an irritant to someone like me who believes I have no right over God that I behave in a manner akin to giving an instruction that He responds to my request
Dis network we don’t care because we know you are not wise people. Keep voting for them and they will keep dying.
It’s not just his kidneys, his liver has been picked over the years due to the misuse of alcohol.. and that’s a fact!!
Yes we shall continue voting for Unhealthy presidents after all Every human being on this earth will die one day.
Death is natural but please let us put in place the new constitution so that the vice presidents can comple the terms to avoid presidential by elections each time we loose one thru death or even other wise,even after spending colosal sums to put to rest the late president
Zambia State House is perfect, fault lies in recent occupants and those who have put them there knowing very well their condition.
It seems to get worse and worse though, which is not good for the
status of our nation, we risk being deemed not serious at all on
auto pilot again so soon sure.
Also since FTJ too much power has been given to street vendors and kaponyas’ who possibly form the larger part of the voters along line of rail. FTJ had a desk at state house for the street vendors, now they even carry pangas’ to control territories and fight open battles.
We may be in for a wild roller-coaster before things get better, mangani ma belt!
You’re right as people who were not capable of minding their health issues ended up being in State House and the costs of trying to keep them healthy comes at a great cost to the tax payer. This is at the expense of other needy areas.
Just imagine the cost incurred on evacuating ECL to RSA:
– the vice presidents’ entourage recalled after having travelled to NY
– advance party to RSA
– hospitalization bills
Now, nobody will divulge the expenditure, nobody will try to see this in light of how many desks or corrugated iron sheets could be acquired for some school in some remote rural area, nothing much ado on budget distortion BUT we will all be urged to pray! RSA will have an injection of more financial resources!
You may thnk am crazy for postin this, am not,.The State house is being hunted by the pipo that wants to gain popularity..These pipo call themselves PROPHETS,.They are sons of the DEVIL,.They come out in public and utter the NONSENSE,nd they call it a prophecy, whatever they say is frm their leader[DEVIL],. They do everythn possible to make sure that their utterance z fulfilled nd the fact that you[ZAMBIANS] do believe them make the matter worse.You can’t see of feel it unless your eyes are opened,.Ask yourself this question,why are they so fascinated abt ZAmbia?? why do they do their prophecy abt Zambian only,.Didn’t they go through the same experience??,Did they prophecy abt it in their own country b4 it really happnd??
The problem with our African minds is that we’re too superstitious. It’s not the first time that Edgar has fainted, we all knew prior to elections that he didn’t have a clean bill of health. Same applies to Sata and Levy. Edgar despite being President, he is also human and has his own share of health related issues just like all of us. There’s nothing like being haunted. With such beliefs, it’s no wonder we lag behind in terms of development when our colleagues are sending probes to Mars.
Fellow Country men and women, any one is susceptible to ill-health regardless of their social or moral standing. Our lives belong to God Almighty and only HE has the final say on our well-being. Presidents are humanbeings just like all of us and it would be folly to conclude that they’re immortal beings. Sickness is amongst us and will be there for eternity.
I wish President Lungu the very best of health and a successful health check.
@Banji, that’s really ridiculous. Your assertion that God has the final say is just as superstitious as thinking the state house is haunted. So if somebody is eating burgers and fries frequently and gains weight, and they have a cardiac arrest, was that God having the final say? With you mentality we cannot make progress because God will have the final say no matter what we do with our healthcare system. If we want to improve the life expectancy, God still has the final say? That’s dumb. The goal should be to radically revamp the healthcare system so that we can treat major illnesses and increase the average life expectancy. Some illnesses are due to genetics, that doesn’t mean ‘God has the final say.’ Sometimes christians (and generally; religious folk) are a cancer to rational…
TB Joshua nd his scum shld be warned else,this trauma will keep on repeatin itself. This probm z so deep rooted,.it started during the time of Mwanawasa,.Rupia Banda saw it, that’s the reason why he decided to jst build a new state house,.You may think am crazy,but the truth z that I know what am talkin abt,.The pipo of Zambian shld woke up nd take necessary measures to address this,.Tell TB Joshua nd his counterparts publicly that they ‘re behind all these misfortunes,.Only then you shall shame the devil nd this crap wll cease…
State house is not at all haunted naimwe, the man was just sick.
We wish Edgar Lungu well. However, he should have shown love for Zambia by declining to compete for power. He has full knowledge of his medical condition. He should not have assumed that with additional executive responsibilities the health condition would have remained under control. Now that he is president, he will experience constant health battles. He should, however, manage it until the next election during which time he stands down. But knowing the gullible among us, they would rather have him than the ideal. We daily blame neocolonialism for our poverty and yet we make the choices ourselves.
Rupiah Banda is alive and well. It is as simple as that. It is how well someone decides to take care of themselves. I would say that it would be rather embarrassing to have another by-election but I would encourage Edgar Lungu to take prayer seriously and avoid having too many international trips (most of which are irrelevant). That Nigerian prophet actually warned him to watch what he eats, what a coincidence.
I always tell my frnds who have keen in following Zambian politics that STATE HOUSE is not a holy place at all,When Dr.Kaunda was a president there was a serious tragedy which happened to the late mama BETTY KAUNDA which led to her being permanently crippled,that problem was never addressed.There is serious cult which goes on in that building,that’s the main reason why mr.BANDA wanted to build another state house,some thot it was for leisure but the man was doing that to protect himself and the family. The solution to the problem is to destroy the old Jerusalem and build a new one period!!!
God is calling them to Him to explain why they rob Zambians yet again! 50 years fast forward and most Zambians still live in mud houses, have no access to medical facilities, electricity or running water!! The next honest and humble one that will have Zambians’ fate in heart will never have any problems at State House – health or otherwise.
Abena Zed you really surprise me. You elect a sick person and you think the sickness will finish when he enters State House. Sata was sick before being elected and so was Lungu. Mwanawasa too, had his own problems emanating from that road accident in 1991. Chiluba died 10 years after leaving State House. So what is your story??
The issue the author raises is about our health system. Its rotten. For as long as status quo remains we will be falling dead everyday for simple ailments. We know about ECL because he is president. How many more zambians are dying of achalasia (& other illnesses) across the country. Please let’s stand up & take responsibility. This will not be improved by one person.
You are the first person to comment on what the author actually was highlighting and not just the title! Our health system needs to be addressed.how many state of the art hospitals would have been built by now if our leaders stopped being medical tourists
Yes, our health system needs to be addressed starting with the unit which is self and surroundings (niche) before other remedial measures! 50 years down the line this sector is still under valued.
While I agree that the healthcare system in Zambia needs to be improved, I also contend that it was an error to elect a person who was a known drunkard, has had kidney problems , diabetis and oesophagael achalasia, into state house. Honestly, people did not show love and care for Edgar Lungu’s wellbeing! “Ifintu ni Lungu” actually meant “ni Lungu so that tulilepo”. This means all those that voted this sick man into office could end up with blood in their hands- just like those that kept claiming that MCS(mhsrip) was well when they knew he was unwell! My advise to Edgar Lungu is please quit and take care of yourself! Those people arround you are only interested in what they benefit from your presidency.As they did to Sata, they could just use you, kill you ,bury you and move on!…
Upnd is behind the this sickness. HH will never win the election even if ECL died today. How come he was so quick to wish the president quick recovery? What is he trying to cover up? We know where he belongs this just confirms. May God protect our president from these devil worshippers
Unfounded hate for HH will lead you nowhere. EL is human and therefore he can get sick. He’s not a God..Leave HH out of this. When EL, comes back, tell him to improve the Zambian medical services so that we don’t have to spend so much tax payers money on his and his colleagues’ future international medical services.
Digadiga face the facts my friend. You and l both know that the truth hurts.
There is nothing wrong with State House. In the recent past, we have voted people who are not healthy…for instance, questions where raised on the health of the Presidents Mwanawasa and Sata way before they were elected to office. As for Chiluba, he was the fittest President we ever voted for as he finished his term but later developed health problems.
Edgers health problems are well documented and have nothing to do with state house.
Running out of stories to run!
Chiluba died out of State House. He died of overtaking of mutototo olo kapena Congo dust in English. Sata died as a result of 60 years of heavy abuse of his body. Fwaka!!! Edgar is abusing his body with alcohol. Did Kaunda ever smoke? Did Kunda ever drink? Did Kaunda ever fathered children from 7 different women? Did Kaunda ever played pool the whole night instead of resting? Did Kaunda ever applied Congo dust? What Ghosts at State House are you talking about? Fyakuifwaila fye fima lwele fimbi.
Jo walasa! You have explained everything. Abuse of the body when younger shows when someone becomes older. KK’s lifestyle is the reason why he is still there today. Sata’s smoked for years. This is a man who used to smoke in his car with his small children in it inhaling smoke from his cigarettes. He didn’t even have consideration for his little ones.
Can you say UTH is haunted because most people who go there die? NO we go to UTH coz we r sick. Same for state house! OK even KK was sick last month…Edgar went to c KK when he was sick. Y hasn’t KK gone to c Edgar? Awe ok the truth is munthu ni munthu !
State House is haunted and needs serious prayers men and women of God its time to pray for that House or demolish it together with its Ghost. RB wanted to build a new State House i think he was right. Raise that thing down and allocate plots to citizens and build a new one. Prayer.
These are not biblical times my friend. Nowadays, access to quality healthcare can do more than a prayer. If prayer was so effective, Zambia’s economy would be flourishing, and it’s life expectancy would be one of the highest. Fortunately the world doesn’t work like that; it belongs to people who get up from their knees and get to work by implementing systems, building businesses, implementing smart policies, and making good decisions that improve the economy, and upgrade the health system. You can stay on your knees, some of us have seen through the laziness of being on your knees. It’s time to get to work.
THERE IS A SERIOUS NEED TO PUT UP GOD’S TEMPLE ” A PLACE OF WORSHIP” WHERE PRAYERS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED EVERY MORNING AND EVENINGS WITHIN STATE HOUSE TO CHASE AWAY THE DEMONS WHICH HAVE HAUNTED STATE HOUSE.
Omg… Probably the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on the internet. If only there was a more superior superlative for dumb. With such an attitude, it is no wonder Zambia continues to dwindle in poverty. You cannot pray things into existence. You cannot pray health into existence, it’s physical.
At least ECL is sick. Some leaders in some of these sects/religions will just drop dead when their time is up. Give a cigarette please!
The only cure to live longer before and after you leave State House is to have that monkey urinate on you while you are an occupant of that cursed and haunted house. Let’s face KK is no ordinary citizen – this I was told when I was merely a kid.
Reminds of Ghost Busters movie… great movie, LOL.
On a serious note I agree that the cursed and haunted are the electorates themselves… who couldn’t ‘see’ that Lungu was unhealthy long before he even ran for presidency. Unfortunately this is a country whose electorates have a combined IQ of 50 (really pathetic!).
They saw it, that Lungu was a sick man but they lack understanding that presidency is an office that needs a healthy person. In other words the electorate behave ignorant. ‘2016 nafuti’ is their song.
It’s a pity that history is repeating itself, ministry of finance now has to budget for ‘international presidential medical services’, the money which could go a long way in alleviating the sufferings of the poor. Pathetic indeed.
When king Uzziah died I saw the Lord. U will never see any good thing in Zambia as long this figure is still alive. Hope u know the figure I refer to.!! This man entered into evil covenants on behalf of Zambia.
Wow… One scripture quoted incompletely and interpreted out of context, and *wala! the missing piece to the puzzle.* Spare us your ignorance. Kaunda eats healthy, most of the deceased presidents had a history of illnesses. In a country like Zambia where there is no regulation and inspection for potential fungi, bacteria and other micro-organisms that grow on food and are harmful to the human body; it is no mystery that people drop like flies.
Zumbastitious people. Are you suggesting that KK is a …? Only RB went to State House elthy. The rest av gone there sick oreddy.
Ati ‘ethy’. Mukasekesha nabalwele.
Ati ‘elthy’. Mukasekesha nabalwele.
What do you know? To think the editor has allowed this Zambian in prayer to display his ignorance by claiming ghosts at state house. Surely do you have to be a doctor to know that Levy, Sata and now Chagwa were already sick before voted in.
As long as we continue voting very sick and tired people in power we have ourselves to blame. Just makes me want to puke when clowns start making up excuses…..oh he is human. ….oh you’re praying for our president to die….really
It appears most bloggers ended at the first paragraph and lost the plot completely. Yes, we do need some good investment in our health system. Imagine that achalasia was treatable 30 years ago and now requires one to be evacuated. That is a haunt enough, if ever there was one. We need to pay attention to those things that keep our health in check. I have a number of medical practitioner friends who have the skills to do any procedure but lament the lack of resources. #Bringback30yearsago
Kaunda will tell you that “God created man in his own image” “Do unto others as you would have them do to you” Build hospitals and roads for others and you will be shown the way. Before Lungu moved to statehouse we all knew he was not a physically fit individual but that does not mean we can’t fix him. It would be nice if these leaders of ours realise that it’s our broken institutions which are hunted. Institutions are created by people therefore can be fixed, health on the other hand has very many dependancies and I hope after this, Lungu will bring South Africa to Zambia rather than Zambia going to South Africa.
If you want hear such stories about health go to UTH at visitation time. You will acknowledge that we are all sick, it is just the degree and time that differs.
I think State house is cursed. Didn’t I hear that a table split into two at state house when Kafupi was there? Ask KK and he might tell you some secretes about state house. Harvest you also seen that any president who goes into State house changes his colours. HH has done well to build his own private state house. Let statehouse be just a tourist place. But vote in healthy presidents too.
Get well soon my president,and middle fingers to all of u sayin nonse abt my president
African problems, especially Zambian ones are self made…ECL is sick, writings are clear on the wall, they have always been! But the gullible PF cadres will force ECL to stand again, so that they kill him in the same manner they killed Psycho Mata!
I wonder what else party cadres do other than waiting for Chibuku once every 5 years. So, the past 3 years have really been lucrative to these illiterates who have had so many by-elections that have broken Guness’ Record…ECL has just created 4 more in just 2 months…Its now big business….and all the naive Zambian voter will continue to be abused over things they could have avoided.
Equip our hospitals and doctors.Stop medical tourism by governmemt officials,change the constitution and Zambia will be on the right path.
People should also question HH, since he come into the political sphere, Two presidents have died in state House. inside information has it that after Mazoka (MHSRIP) Confessed of being a an agent of Freemason, technically, HH took over UPND and it is said that he had to get rid of Andy they terrorize State House, then he will Rule.
This needs to be explored as well. Why is HH and UPND are always talking of Ill health to the Presidency? Many more questions can be asked to that effect.
Didn’t RB go for a knee complication to RSA?
We knew what we were voting for, even though there was a better alternative in HH and were played the tribal.
Malaria, fatigue levels then narrowing gullet my foot. Zambians wake up, other countries are going forward and Zambia is in reverse gear trying to catch up with Zimbabwe.
It is even dull or shallow minded to question whether state house is haunted. The presidents are not the only residents there to begin with. Mwanawasa was already a cabbage prior to his election as president and we all knew his health issues. Sata he had a heart problem and who knows what else. Lungu you were informed that the chap has health problems which apparently he never denied but his cronies spitted their venom at those people who raised the issue. The first president is still alive even after staying in state house for 27 years due to his good health habits. FTJ, I almost forgot, living large and too much ukutemwa nyaps (sex)! State house is not haunted, Zambians are simply sending patients there period.
There is nothing about state house. We are choosing unhealthy people. Presidence stress escalates the diseases of unhealthy people we choose. Lungu should have disclosed this problem before elections so that Zambians know what to expect.
We said it before the elections that Lungu was not healthy but cadres were just saying “ifintu ni Lungu”. And why go for such a strenuous job when you know you are sick and an alcoholic? Where has patriotism gone to? I squarely blame him (Lungu) for putting us in this limbo again.
Dumb article and shallow article!
According to today’s comment in The Post, Lungu collapsed twice last year in front of Sata, once in public and once in State House. Yet, the parasites who feed off him connived and hid this important fact from the electorate. Worse still, he selfishly failed to disclose his condition. Now it is dawning on all of us that Zambia is yet again about spend millions propping up South African clinics.
State-House is not haunted. It is the pipo we put in that are either already finished or they are themselves haunted. Sata collapsed when he was campaigning and we took it lightly. Masebo came out clearly on the health of current President and we brushed her aside. Are we also haunted? May be.
Whoever wrote this or is entertaining backward ideas like this needs to sit the fcuk back down.
The reason is simple – Zambians do not have the mental capacity to discern what is good for their country. It will continue to be proven time and time again.
Levy was ill before he went to state house. Sata was ill before he went to state house. Lungu was ill before he went to state house.
How can any sane person expect them to get miraculously healed just because they have been elected president?
How can scientific thought take root in such a country with superstitious mind? I did not even read this rigmarole.
let,s not run away from facts…. KAUNDA.. was a patriot who served his country diligently and we all loved him also his a God fearing man… look at the way he distributed resources, and nepotism and tribalism was an head of…. but PF has encouraged this and they enjoy talking ill about other tribes and trying to coat it with unpopular and voiceless appointments…. Chiluba died outside state house, MMD served for 17yrs before losing mwanawansa (MHSRIP) …..Therefore its not state house which is Haunted but PF… as a part should check themselves… they lied for them to get into state house… state house is sacred….place you should go there genuinely and not through pangas and intimidation… i can’t imagine 2 by election within a term of office.. the time to act is now… PF…
Sick presidents, the ones we vote for, are the ones haunting State House. We must be mentally sick ourselves, to vote for sick presidents and then expect miracles to happen.
Zambian in prayer and yet you are seeing ghosts?
You do not need to exorcise State House, but the electorate and the doctors who pronounce presidential candidates ‘fit for the office’ when they may be not.
The quality of our leaders speaks loudly about the quality of our democracy. We are a rotten democracy.
Are we still living in the dark ages?? Is state house haunted haha how embarrassing, there’s such thing as science! Those that died, there was a scientific explanation behind it certainly not mysterious! What happened to the fit and proper test for high ranking jobs? Especially a position where you’re the leader of a country! Common sense is not so common
How is it possible that all these sick presidents are able to pass through the cracks of our democratic system? After we vote for them, then we want to place the blame elsewhere! If you built your house using dead wood, don’t expect God to work a miracle and save it during a storm. Falling, it will fall. Those must be the bitter consequences of a bad choice.
Could some learned blogger kindly explain how narrowing of the throat can caused low blood sugar and cause the president to fall down so fast that the body guards could not catch him before he hit the ground? When Mugabe fell, the explanation was consistent with what the pictures showed- he tripped while descending from the podium and ended on his knees, still conscious! That bump on Lungu’s head suggests something more serious than narrowing of the throat- Lungu must have blacked-out! I have been in the medical field for 25 years and I have never seen or heard about oesophageal achalasia causing low blood sugar and sudden collapse! Please ,someone in the medical field ,help my ignorance! Napapata bane nondolweleniko! I thank you in advance……
And now you are talking RAINBOW PARTY.Tamumfwa……As for EL nothing serious with him.He is only suffering from withdrawal symptoms since has drastically reduced on booms….
Superstitious Zambians at it again… LPM had a stroke and failed to shed his weight, MCS had cancer and had even suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack) prior to Zambians electing him, ECL was known to be sick prior to his election… just stop electing sick men to the highest office and you would have stopped this hoodoo. KK, FKC and RBB were fit before assuming office and they left the office alive!
Its true state house is haunted, can any one tell me why K K believes in his white handkerchief? Have you forgotten how KK entered into a covenant with the late Prime Minister of India Indira Ghandi? A group of pastors(intercessors) in Lusaka from different denominations have brought it to the fore that KK left some cup filled with some liquid stuff in State house when he left office and every president who enters state house is told about this cup and warned not to pour out or throw the cup away as this may lead to KK dying and this has been a curse on any president who goes into state house. Have you forgotten how KK almost built heaven on earth mosques in state house with the indians where they wanted to be worshipping the Indian spirits. KK must take this cup of evil from state house
I vaguely remember Sinkamba bringing up this issue ! Maybe the green was helping him see ahead ! LOL !
