The ruling MMD on the Copperbelt has challenging the Post Newspaper to tell the country the truth about the Zambian Airways saga.
MMD Cadres, who presented a petition to President Rupiah Banda through Copperbelt Provincial Minister, Mwansa Mbulakulima, said the Post Newspaper should tell Zambians the truth about problems surrounding the Zambia airways.
The cadres, who assembled at the provincial administration office yesterday while singing songs of solidarity for Mr. Banda, were led by Copperbelt Province MMD chairman Joseph Chilambwe and Ndola district chairman Cephas Katongo.
Mr. Chilambwe said the MMD on the Copperbelt was totally behind the President and was congratulating him for having fired Energy Deputy Minister Lameck Chibombamilimo and Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, Jonas Shakafuswa.
He alleged that the two members had no respect for President Banda and the MMD party, adding that they should never rejoin to the party.
“We want to say bravo to President Banda for chasing Shakafuswa and Chibombamilimo. They have no respect for the President and the party. We don’t want them back in our party. They should join political parties that insult,” he said.
He said the MMD in the province was challenging the Post Newspaper to explain to the nation what their role in society was.
“The MMD on the Copperbelt is petitioning the Post Newspaper to tell the nation what their role in society is? They should also tell the truth about the K29 billion that the Zambian Airways owes the people of Zambia,” he said.
The provincial chairman said time had come for the law to visit the Post Newspapers because they were not sacred.
Mr. Chilambwe also called upon opposition Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata to stop ridiculing former heads of state like Dr. Fredrick Chiluba.
Meanwhile Mr. Chilambwe has appealed to MMD supports to fight and defend their party.
“This is our time, we must fight and enjoy ourselves because we are the ones that are ruling. And even in 2011 we will continue to rule this country,” he said.
And speaking earlier, Ndola MMD district chairman Cephas Katongo called upon Zambians to rally behind President Banda as he endeavours to recover the money owed by Zambian Airways.
Mr. Katongo said the money in question was tax payer’s money which needed to be channeled to developmental projects and not a few selfish people.
And Mr. Mbulakulima assured the petitioners that he would pass on their message to President Banda.
The minister, who said he was deeply touched by the conduct and words of the petitioners, said there was no way all people in the MMD could be wrong.
He said there was no way President Banda could sit and watch indiscipline creep into the MMD and not say a word.

I can see u huv no idea abt the story.
MMD – Men with Mental Deficiencies
and MMD (Men with Mental Deficiencies) are VIP (Very Insecure People). Go figure. Their concern is not getting Zambia to a better place.
I think they’ve reached HIPC – highly intoxicated party cadres.
I don’t care what happen to those plunders in ZA as long as my remittance to NAPSA made over 25 years i served the country patriotically in the harms way is secured and payable when i need it.They can go six feet, riddled, slained, stoned or wrecked mysteriously , Madoff victims, its no my business but the contribution to NAPSA that matters.
boss dont talk about maddoff on this blogg. A truck load of our folks here dont even know him worse even what he did. They can’t even relate it to ZA.bwafya batata.
Any comments as to how far this case has gone?
Mbulakulima disappoints me. Is the one I voted at FAZ some years back. I wish I had known.
We are tired of this…………… RB should resign, he has brought more harm than good to zambia, in a short period in power???
stop dreaming…resign because of what you wish…..wish for a horse to ride
Ysterday,post and MMD,today post and MMD!Dont we have something else.
“This is our time, we must fight and enjoy ourselves because we are the ones that are ruling” Does it mean ruling is about enjoying oneself or it is serving others/the nation?
I also thought in those lines,its like these pricks think that just because there are ruling then they can do anything,what has enjoying have to do with leadership,I thought leadership means duty, hono. It means character, and it means listening from time to time and not and enjoying,by the way what does he mean he is enjoying apart from folly , misuse of resources and some misguided policies.These so called political cadres and chairmans will do anything just to get a meal ticket,there are paid to make confusion so as to blindfold the masses as if MMD is doing the right thing.Only the blind and the ignoramus can fall for such.
I meant honor instead of hono.
MMD should realise that the growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership
My posting is lame,am blazed up,can even figure what am writing am.
Ghost Dog, Get some coffee. Are you in Russia?
Ghost, these are people who don’t dhsre your values. Stop comparing your values with ’em. Do what you can for Mother Zambia and let G-d reward you, not these…and drink responsibly I know it’s hard….
our politics suck what is this chap chilambwe really on about? he just fueling hatred “This is our time, we must fight and enjoy ourselves because we are the ones that are ruling. And even in 2011 we will continue to rule this country,” he said.forget about shakafuswa and chibombamilimo i can sense some bitterness in chilambwe.
I think ambuya Bwezani fyakudala RB should simply step down.
These guys surprise me!!! Their President has insitituted investigations in this “saga” so what truth do they want? Why cant they wait for the responsible wings to come out with the results. Me thinks these guys present these petitions with a view of getting some money especially at this time of the month. Where do they find the time any way since we are busy making ends meet. I wish they can also present a petition on Dora?
Let me read!!!!!!!!
Yabaaaaaaa!!!!!! Tom and Jerry are at it again!!!!!! Will this show ever end?????? Have had it mweeee!
i agree with you Baby C. When does the circus end and the real issues affecting the masses in Zambia get dealt with?
UESLESS CADRES,TELL YO PRESIDENT 2AVAIL US WITH THE DOCUMENTS HE HAS AGAINST MAGANDES BAILING OUT ZA,U R THE ONES WHO FORCE THIS THING 2TALK FROM HIS SLUMBER THINGS HE DONT EVEN KNOW,NONSENSE
Ba MMD tekeni amatako panshi. Don’t think you have the monopoly of power. Mind you, you are in minority on the copperbelt don’t provoke others to take to the streets. Be sensible and face the facts. ZA issue is under a competent investigating wing to establish the truth. What is your problem? Viva Post which is the mouth piece of the people of Zed who are blacked out by the so called public medias.
This Goverment Vs Post stories are taking most the time at the expense of other developmental issues! Even the so called tribunals are taking most the unbudgeted resources! Hmmmm! as 1984 would would put it…… these are the end times!
Had it not been for the post and Sata kaya
This country has jst turned into someting else. its like we are being ruled by cadres. The country has lost its direction. Things are jst gone to the waste. I think ba rb shld jst resign on moral grounds. His lucky we r peaceful pipo!
this was on znbc 19:00 hrs news,i could only see plenty women and few men why???????????.nosense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Fina mayo fya pa copperbelt too much uku kandisha! After that demostration they were given chibuku and found themselves been screwed in Guesthouses.That evening lodges were full of women clad in MMD chitenge. Ba zanzibar pali insala pa CB no wonder those women can sink that low.
Tired of same stories, Can’t these these people critisise the president on issues affect the people, especially that copperbelt have had more job losses and they are busy petitioning. Shame on Mr Chilambwe and Mbulakulima.
you people who are saying he should resign who then should take over?
Me or you. No shortage of manpower
lol… … I hear you
Given Lubinda or Sata should take care. We are tired of amapolitics yakumushi.
RB amano tapali. I think Makaloni yamonaula. Amafuma pafisasi…..yabaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
PF=Dreamers=Zuluboy….continue dreaming in Zulu
Just because there is no one to take over now does not mean we have to settle for the worst. I would rather have anyone even a child at the moment than to have RB and his nonsense!
MMD cadres want a Post Headline about Zambian airways just the way he does with Siliyas tribunal . Membe is a good guy i hope he is not going to jail because he will be mixed with all the plunderers in there. i hope he would come back alive because most of those plunderers are Generals well trainned in clandestine operations.
They will kiss and make up
No will kiss his a s s
I think Ba fred would luv to be in the cells with all those men and young boys. He is looking forward to it.
I thought the party cadre business ended with UNIP…history has its own way of repeating itself hey!!
What do you expect from a UNIP pres
what these cadres should know is that, as a heard of state you cant respond to all criticism against you!!
cadres cadres – do these people work? They are always protesting,showing solidarty etc instead of contributing to the development of zambia Didn’t your beloved RB tell you to go and grow more food or are you waiting for Malawi to send us food aid! MMD circus now showing in theatres!
RB shuld regisn. we need a more sensible person, some1 who is not selfish, person who has a heart for the zambian pipo. some1 who can listen to the voices of many. He doesnt listen to anything, pipo are suffering and only ba MMD and there cadres are enjoying. its not fair, chalo chesu bonse!!!!!
What is really wrong with these chimps they call MMD caders?
LT please check your grammar in the first sentence, anyway back to the issue at hand, is RB actually capable of discussing issues of national importance like a 21st century leader, rather than bribing illiterate cadres who probably don’t even comprehend the whole Zambian Airways saga? This is extremely worrying, fasten your seatbelts!!!
RB must go and we have to start a RED ribbon campaign now!!! Red card RB, he is not worth being a Zambian President.
We need a proactive,sensible and above all an interlligent person.
I wish we Zambians were like people in Madagascar, we are just to nice sometimes its a shame.
true DJ Gesh groove for President
We dont need homos for presidos,the state house aint a Disco house,they aint no turn tables to spin some garbage music.The state house needs a head and not a DJ,possibly he cant even spell his name apart from tape and Cd…lol
Just because it happened in Madagascar it aint happening for zambia.
To say the truth Gesh is my man,No man slams beats like him ,home and abroad.I have listened to many DJs but no one like him,he is a sharp individual,I think He can make it.
These cadres really amaze, does it mean in Zambia there is nothing to do? Everday we are hearing about cadres either matching to state house or demonstrating over very trivial issues, the issue they are talking about is under investigation and very soon it will be know to everyone, what do they want the POST to tell the nation? These cadres should grow.
Brother ,This is Political Tyre Puncture,since we opted to buy old and finished tyres from soweto market, we shall experience more punctures along the way.Likewise , we brought in an old ,retired
and finished politician turned into a farmer,to lead us . what do you expect from him Political tyre punctures.
That is why Mr. Wiseman you should be one of the first young crop of politicians to rise up and remove these old punctured tyres. Where are the young and good/new Political tyres??? Please stand up and be counted.
Gday to you.
Those who want to climb the mountain and watch, they will keep climbing the mountain while illiterate cadres rule this country.
meaning…. you are one?
# 25 I am tempted to think irrationally on those lines,perhaps as a nation we shall a different orientation and approach to issues .The MMD has outlived its usefulness. There are a threat to Zambia ,a party that is lead by a very vindictive person.He has not forgiven the post for their editorials during the Nov 2008 elections . The Madagascar way may seem the immediate solution
Dont call for something you cant handle,War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell
Ghost Dog, You are right war is hell, just like the old negro Spirituals stated ” I shan’t have war no more” Mine was an irrational approach, yet that is the way I feel right now .The MMD is bringing more despair in the country, whose citizenry have more suffering already that they can not contend with.
Madagascar way is no good approach to Zambian woos. Find a another approach. Zambians are peace loving people. Democracy must always prevail.
True indeed cutey, and welcome back
Do you guys realise that anyone in possetion of a party card is cadre. this includes HH, RB,Magande, Mutati and late LPM. and maybe even yourseves. The only leader who is not a cadre is Mr Sata because his party does not have Cards. so all those PF ngwngwazi in bus stations are infact not cadres but party officials waiting to form gorvent
# 29 .To misinform the masses or tell a lie in broad day light without a wink is the greatest form of deception. Where do you get the meaning of the word cadre? Actually going by the true meaning of the word cadre (check it up) PF has more cadres than mere party members/supporters/sympathizers
wiseman, you have more cadres in Barosteland….
All the time those guys spent talking crap would have being better spent in something more productive to betteren the economy.Bulanda bushala.
If the law enforcing agents are investigating Zambian Airways, why is the MMD intervening and making noise? RB if not careful with these cadres will be remembered in negative manner.
I thought this petition was done over three weeks ago, or is it another petition? If so then these guys are matching to the Minister’s office everytime there feel like scratching and what time does the so-called minister executes his duties and not MMD agenda? This is absolute nonsense and a waste of time, resources, money and opportunity for development. STOP THIS MADNESS!
What has Mwansa done that we would leave to remember? trugle for identity is not nesesary ba minister. Please do ur work. ala
The MMD govt has refused to have 50% +1 for someone to win the high office (president) We want to see if these people attending NCC will include this as 99.9% of the Zambians want 50%+1.
The govt has to know that the citizenary office is the high when governing and its where the values upon which our founding father based their principles.
Zambia is a very peaceful country where the majority of the citizens are not MMD. If MMD is going to continue provoking others day-in-day-out, it is playing with fire and is in nobody’s interest. Don’t they have mature people in their camp to drum sense in their cadres? Is firing 2 junior ministers by a President really worth all these demos? This is simply business as usual.
Can someone please tell RB to stop fighting personal battles with oldinary citizens and come-up with a plan to take our beloved country forward.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeey People How are you doing? am back. you know this rainy season I was busy doing the works in my farm. so whats been happening?
Indeed we are tired of these kwangalas.If only these cadres felf pitty on themselves.Being paraded for a 50pin or just a bear.I have seen others fainting whilst singing and dancing.Please sons and daughters to those women that dance in front of these men,kindly advise your mothers and empower them instead of that ugly show.
Finish, Mbulakulima just from the name u can tell that the chap has a small heart for pipo, cephas katongo, ya, he is yapping coz he owns those Chembe Big buses like the one zain gave out, he needs major assistance from the gvt of the day in case his buses ar to flip pipo, the other chap, just a pure lazy and useless chap nothing to comment on him
yes,cephas katongo owns chembe carriers very hard working guy lest you didn’t know he also owns that nice highrise building direct opposite broadway. yes near broadway round about. it’s his and that fleet of minibuses ND22 they are his.so what bites you.if sata opens his mouth you blind follower dont comment because you expect more money in the pocket.when free citizens
Like cephas katongo who has full brains try to express his political beliefs you wasps want to sting.mwanya jelous will choke you to death
no the Post must be investigated guys…let see if they will come out clean
Yes the post must be investigated because no one is above the law. And this should mean the RB and his former bank should also be investigated. The government should also be put under pressure to pay all those suppliers and pentioners their dues,because they also owe money, more than the Zambian Airways owes actually. We shouldnt have double standards in anything.
AM off LT for life,goodbye boggers,love to all the regular bloggers,Nine Chale and Chewe, I have not been that good to you brothers I ask for forgiveness.Everyone I have Cursed and spoken ill,I asks forgiveness,I admit am an imperfect soul,lost in this world full of hate,and all I have wanted is to stay on ma grind,be soldier and put some fights on,cuase I was trained for combat,Its just time to catch another train of thoughts, I can nolonger blog for polotics and tricks,cause I know there is little we can change.
AM OUT,SEE U AT THE X-ROAD
Hey Ghost Dog! Where’re you off to bro? Please stay with us! I have really buried the past and I don’t have any hard feelings whatsoever towards you my brother. Infact, I have learnt a lot from your recent contributions ( especially your analogy on War today). I think LT needs people like you who can speak their minds as long as you don’t offend other bloggers. I hope you stay.
Ghost Dog , Remember the saying , “When good people call it quit or cease to speak, the rotten lot take over”
Ghost Dog, it’s not all lost. Stick around man. You just never know….
GO!!! WHO CARES. WE SHALL REMAIN.
Kabiyeni fye
ba ghost dog naimwe. who cares!!!
Its retrogressive people like ghost dog who are taking our country backwards.Not commenting on issues just because you think you can not change anything is not a solution.We need to continue charting the way foward u ntill we see change.do not be a quitter.
Ghost Dog please dont go we love.I dont have anything against you.I know we have weaknesses as human beings. I highly value you so much.Please stay with us on the blogg.
Ghost Dog please brother don’t go.We all need you.Just look at your resent blogs.You are a star.We need the stars to be shinning.Lets just put our differences beyind us.Hopefully you won’t quit.
What lunacy is this? What has MMD got do with corporations? This is the true mentality of UNIP nonsense. Is it MMD with its government or these are separate entities? RB, control your people or you will go out worse than any President in Africa.
We are surely very fed up of cadres making decisions on behalf of elected people. Who pays these cadres for the time they spend shouting without any facts on anything? Are we seeing the re-emergence of vigilante politics of pre 1991? I fear for my country if these ignorant, mind less youths are going to take the role of mob psychology politcians then we are in trouble. Or is MMD more infiltrated by PF job seekers who want to be nearest the powers that be? Just what is all this crazy placard carrying cadres doing in our govt issues?
This is our time, we must fight and enjoy ourselves because we are the ones that are ruling. And even in 2011 we will continue to rule this country,” he said. ENJOY OURSELVES.what’s this?This behavior of the so called cadres must be stopped at once because it’l lead to the expulsion of intellectuals from government who can help improve the economy of our country.MR.PRSIDO,don’t always listen to these cadres.Consider the outcome before you fire someone because the moment you fire someone,our economy retards.we are more concerned with the economy and nothing else
This UNIP recycled president is taking us 45 steps(years) backwards.
Thats why Ghost has backed his cases. It is vey frustrating to talk about the same thing every time. MMD please change for good. RB do something we are not kumansansa. Look also at what is happening in madagasca, we dont want that please.
Let it be known that the post newspaper can not be bullied into making any statements by men and women of lesser minds and value, who seek higher office through loud shouting and violence. Only the courts of law can order seizure of the post’s property and haul the post before a judge, even then such an act from the courts would have to show that a crime has been committed. You may petition the president all you want, under the laws of the land he is a lame duck. Lack of discipline is slowing turning the party into a lawless organisation.
