MMD president Dr Nevers Mumba speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka.

MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba has condemned the decision by the PF government to nationalize the Railway Systems of Zambia.

Addressing Journalists in Lusaka, Dr. Mumba said the policy of grabbing private enterprises will hurt the Zambian economy.

He said the decision to target some private businesses by the state will also erode investor confidence.

Dr. Mumba also observed that some of the decisions being reversed today were initiated during the time that President Michael Sata served in the MMD government.

He said reduced investor confidence will negate government’s efforts to create jobs and reduce employment.

This morning, in a national address on ZNBC TV and Radio, Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda said cancellation of the RSZ concession agreement with immediate effect.

Government terminated the freight and passenger Concession Agreement with the Railway Systems of Zambia, and reaffirmed commitment to making Zambia, a destination conducive for genuine investment…

Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda announced the Zambian Governments’ decision to compulsorily acquire the Concession Rights that were granted to the Railway Systems of Zambia in 2003.

He said the acquisition has been necessitated by mismanagement of Zambia Railways infrastructure and rolling stock, leading to deterioration of assets and resultant loss to the nation as a whole.

In a statement read on national television, Mr. Chikwanda affirmed that Government would ensure that it complied with the labour laws of Zambia in relation to the welfare of RSZ employees and will meet the obligations in relation to suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders.

“I would like to assure the nation and our partners in development that the Government remains committed to ensuring that Zambia remained a destination which is conducive for genuine investment whilst ensuring that the interests of the nation are not undermined by impropriety,” said Mr. Chikwanda.

The Minister listed the following shortcomings by RSZ;

a) Abandonment of the inter-mine railway network resulting in heavy inter-mine cargo moving by road;

b) High railway transportation costs resulting in excessive road usage for heavy cargo, and minimal or non-utilization of railway transportation;

c) Failure to meet minimum service levels for passenger freight despite being a beneficiary of a substantial Government subsidy;

d) Unacceptably high levels of derailments, loss of life and property leading to enormous cost to Government; and

e) Blatant disregard of the provisions of the concession agreement and unsatisfactory performance, resulting in great risks to the sustainability of railway transport in Zambia.

“The measure is necessary because any additional delays would result in further destruction of the railway assets, therefore making it more expensive for the planned upgrade of the railway necessary for it to meet regional and international standards,” said the Minister.

The Government has prepared resources for the continued operations and rehabilitation of the railway line, assured the Minister.

And Railway Systems of Zambia Managing Director Benjamin Even said his firm is still studying the turn of events and will respond in due course.

  3. IT WAS CORRUPTLY GIVEN BY MWANAWASA.MWANAWASA BEING A LAWYER KNEW THAT HE WAS TOO CORRUPT AND NOT WANTING TO BE COUGHT MADE MAUREEN DO ALL THE DIRTY WORK.WHAT HE DID WAS MAKE HIS MONISTER DO ALL THE NEGIOTATION AND MADE MAUREEN COLLECT THE CASH.
    I CHALLANGE MAUREEN TO COME OUT OPEN.REMEMBER SATA WANTED TO TAKE OVER FROM CHILUBA AND CHILUBA OPTED FOR MWANAWASA AND DITCHED SATA.THIS IS THE REVENGE SATA IS TAKING.BE WORNED THAT ALL DEALS DONE BY MWANAWASA WILL BE REVERSED.

  4. Dr Nevers Mumba will never think before he speaks because he never understands leadership.
    He is just never, never, never, nevers. RSZ never benefited zambians.

  5. Anyway pf is desperate to create employment for its cadres.More grabings on the way since they have no idea of how to creat new jobs.

    • RSZ has benefited who.Check your facts gentlemen.Pf is right Zambia Railways was not sold but concession ed so the government is not impressed with the way RSZ is doing things so they want their company back. 

  6. Only opportunistic criticism comes from Mumba. Give it a few hours HH will state the same. The good thing is Zambians are quite capable of making up their minds and they rightly know who is genuinely fighting their corner.

  7. I would have liked Mr. Mumba to state what he could have done in this situation as letting RSZ carry on in the current form should not be an option

    • I doubt if Nevers has taken time to study the statement by Mr Chikwanda and the concession agreement otherwise he would not be exhibiting his ignorance on this issue in public. Ati ba Party President! Pathetic! 

  8. True.Much as PF might be trying to give “Zambians” what belongs to them,they MUST be very careful and cautious.A government (MMD) concessened ZR.Governments MUST take responsibility for their actions/inactions.Also,RSZ has not been performing to expectation.Its a dead system.
    From another view point though,perhaps the roads may start lasting longer if this move is followed by appropriate policy to compel heavy duty cargo to be transported by train.

  9. G’wan rude boy preacher! Get your two cents in! Let me guess. It’s a train wreck waiting to happen… Can’t wait for Richie Rich to kick in. Unless he’s busy too dodging imaginary pangas while the main dudes are hunting for invisible assassins :)

  11. Typical of African opposition politicians.As long as something is coming from the ruling party they don`t see any sense in it.

  12. I doubt if Nevers has taken time to study the statement by Mr Chikwanda or the concession agreement otherwise he would not be exhibiting his ignorance on this issue in public. Ati ba Party President! Pathetic! 

  14. The article says Govt has prepared resources for running Zambia railways.Lets wait and see.
    I implore the government to pass a regulation compelling importers and exporters to use the rail line as opposed to the roads on certain heavy goods.This will generate income for Zambia railways and reduce stress and damage to our roads.SA did it by regulating imported cars coming to Zambia and other countries moving on their roads.But the railway system should become efficient enough for this reversal to hold water.On a lighter note,has anyone noticed the lady in the picture?!!she is wearing a Uganda jersey!!.Was nevers supporting the cranes on saturday? Nangu yalimusha Indeke then ba Nevers ati if you want me to buy your airticket back to Uganda you should escort me ku press briefing.LOL!!

  15. President Sata is simply doing what the people of Zambia want, Pastor Mumba, with due respect Go back to the pulpit, this one is not for you sir. Don’t be petty like one Hakainde because it is in the interest of the nation to get back ransacked companies like ZR.

  18. Other even more important investors like KCM are worried stiff of what PF will do to them one of these days. Not because it is wrong to repossess companies that are clearly mismanaged, but the way the repossessions are done – no respect whatsoever for the other party. Kaponyas are a big problem mwee.

  19. Article 16 of the Zambian constitution as amended in 1996 provides as follows

    “(1) Except as provided in this Article, no property of any description shall be compulsorily taken possession of, and no interest in or right over property of any description shall be compulsorily acquired, unless by or under the authority of an Act of Parliament which provides for payment of adequate compensation for the property or interest or right to be taken possession of or acquired.”
    PF govt is within its rights if it has following this provisions but its a pity that the Minister did not mention an legal basis for their actions. 

  20. Nevers shut up. for the fact that this RSZ was working on a loss which resulted in not fulfilling concession agreements shows that RSZ investors didn’t have plan and vision how to run this zambian railways after they aquired it and it was not adding any value to our nation develoment. If you have been to zambian after Mwanawasa government sold zambian railways, the state of rail transportation is pathetic, such that mines have even stopped using rail transports to transport copper, instead they are now using heavy duty trucks to transport copper, a situation which is over using our poor roads and increase truck accidents. When RSZ came we expected to see improved rail transport system, making new rail lines around the country, but unfortunately they came and closed some rail lines.

  21. RSZ was perfoming badly but goverment should have followed the law in addressing this matter. This course of actiontaken by the gvt is bad for the image of our country. Remember we need the eurobond and such matters can affect our quest for the bond.

  22. Mumba and HH are a useless couple!! This is a good move by the PF!! Everyone knows that there was a lot of neglect of assets by RSZ. Can you believe they have sold off a lot of rail lines in Luanshya for scrap metal! How can any sane person criticise this move? Tu opposition twansala!!!

    • why are condemning HH even before he make his position known on this matter. this is the kind of prejudice that made us make a mistake by voting the policy failure guys

    • People like kungfu dont think, there is a proper way of doing things, that is why even when a thief is caught you don’t mate out instant justice. We must follow laws, and not allow a provision where we set precedences that will work against us. Re-nationalization of RSZ is long due but for posterity’s sake why do it in a way that sets dangerous precedence and weakens our investment policy. We don’t live an Island and its very wishful and UN-analytical to think we can survive on our own in a world based on global interest. Lets move intelligently with prudence!

  23. Tongas should very happy coz that was the mode of transport they used. It was cheap to move with train with a lot of luggage

  24. Let the GOVT table the terms of reference for the Concession agreement so that we see that the RSZ had in fact fail to honor part of the Concession. Govt should find a an equity partner who would be more willing maintain help maintain upgrade the rail network and also make it more profitable.

  25. #12 Sosa Bomfwe, what you have written is right, if the property was for RSZ, but remember that this is “Concession Rights”, meaning RSZ  got our railway lines for free. Basically, they where just suppose to manage and maintain or improve/repair on behalf of the Govt. These guy where not providing any service to any company, apart from themselves. They have a copper mine in DRC and they used to transport their copper using this line, without replacing slippers (the line is in very sorry state, and govt will spend alot of money to repair it). On this one, it was right decision. Article 16 may be more applicable in case of Zamtel

  26. As much as this move is welcome, government should now introduce windfall tax for mines because mines are using heavy duty trucks to transport their goods around the country and outside and constantly roads in zambia are damaged, so roads departments needs enough money to maintain these roads mining companies are using.windfall tax next please. PF government fulfilling it promises, remember during campaigns PF promised to re-nationalize some of this companies, so far two down.

  27. Surely Mumba must be the laughing stock of the year! A very important national asset has been vandalized by a foreign company, nay, Zambia Railways is on its death-bed, and there is Mumba championing a foreign agenda, a worthless cause. What kind of politician is this who places no value on national assets?

  29. Zambians will really suffer one day and im busy preparing for that day it will be a very dark cloud that will hover over the country

  30. MMD  is finished putting MR Mumba who even failed to manage a small church and run away to chew tax payers money .PF u deserve it keep it up. 

  32. It’s interesting to watch how much HH and Mumba are trying to out-do each other in the field of idiocy. PF are just doing what they promised during last year’s campaign and eventually got voted into power for.

  35. Nevers only crooks will be scared away, genuine investors have nothing to fear, you expect to be a president with such a mentality useless chap. Its your party of crooks that caused this mess, give options instead of criticising.
    Tomorrow it will be under5’s turn as he is unhappy that the cops cancelled his party yesterday!!

  37. Mumba you don’t know what you talking about. You are so behind; with what Zambians want and how the railway firm is running anyway ku bwabwatako fye ayini? Anyway at times try to shut your bick

  38. Nevers is a just a HOTHEAD. Does not think before opening his mouth. One wonders whose interests he is seving or potraying the MMD to serve.

  39. #S 4 AND 7 SPOT ON. MUMBA AND HH ARE COMPETING IN TERMS ATTRACTING ATTENTION ESPECIALLY THAT THERE’S A MUMFUMBWE BY-ELECTION LOOMING. THE MAN SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE EMPTIEST HEADS IN ZAMBIA. AS #7 HAS POINTED OUT- WHAT SUGGESTIONS ARE YOU OFFERING? IT’S A SHAME TO HAVE *****S FOR OPPOSITION LEADERS ECCEPT ONE OR TWO LEADERS WHO ARE REALLY USING THEIR HEADS TO THINK.

  40. @25 PF Cadre with Red Card, yes but the law is funny. ZAMTEL was repossessed with clear notice of Government to compensate them. Instead of entering into that LAP Green chose to sue GRZ, this caused GRZ not to proceed with compensation forensic exercise but wait for the case in High Court to be deposed off. The President can repossess land title, shares etc under our constitution so long as your are compensated. LAP Green should have waited for the figure then argue and demand what they think they were worth. But even that was and is debatable, they equally cheated on investments.

  41. Nigger please you can’t even write proper English write in Bemba, there’s no such word as monister it’s monter kekekekekekeke what is up in here y’all writing waka Moli go back to school before you start attacking real lawyers can’t believe cadres are trying to sound smart here lol monkey brains

  42. Please PF, Nationalise all mines such as Luanshya mine, KCM (which was sold for 4 times less than what Mazoka offered). Please Nationalise all the farms owned by HH and all the assets thereon. Remember to privayise Sata!

  44. Chi Sata ni mbwa mwitu kabisa.Kwanini serikali yake infanya mambo kama ni biashara ya kantemba?Mbona hawezi heshimu mikataba ya biashara? Sasa hakuna investor ambaye atakuja zambia sababu sheria na mikataba haiheshimiwi.Jinga sana huyu dikteta.

  46. Nevers Mumba does not understand a single thing here. What Nevers should have done was to support the move but challenge the pf government of thier options after this because that is what is more critical

  47. # 39. Ubu bupuba. If you want to speak in ‘tongues’ join pastor Mumba’s church and save us the time to read sensible issues.

  48. Bu opposition bushele mu Zambia buleumfwisha no luse….come on guys lets have people with brains ,not just yapping that is not opposition.To be frank with you Zambians the rail system does not work in our country,even the ZR did much better than those thaggs.

  49. Yes we can. Its just the mind set of only wanting to consume wealth but with little or n notion of how to create it. Just make everyone produce more than one eats. Think of what profit, what output more than input. We can only if ww don’t let it to others. Lets own it, do it with commitment, they were like us, why can’t we be like them? What is Develpment? Is it by us or is it unless others do for us?

  50. Bo Pastor Mumba please before you open you mouth first ask people if what you are about to spit makes sense. You are disgracing the pastor fraternity man. So tell us what you should have done if it were considering the unabated raping RSZ did to the rail transport system. Really we dont have opposition in Zambia but useless one.  

  51. Fellow countrymen, having followed MMD’s activities under the newly elected Nevers Mumba, it is very clear that we are expecting too much from him. The man simply has no data. Zambians have now woken up from slumber and they are iching to hear the alternative from the opposition. BUt alas!!! Leaders in opposition cannot read the mood….

  53. indeed tu opposition twamu zambia tulomfwisha no luse. Look at haha..sata once had a rally after elections, i must also ve one. Sata used to talk a lot to win election, i too must yap yap senselessly. its tu chimbwi no strategy(cns). Its neverlands (nevers mumba) time, some minutes later haha ll vomit mishanga boy talk. These under 5s are clueless to what opposition means thats why sata is always a step ahead.

  55. Ok I hurt most of Sata’s policies and stupid knee jerk ejaculative and prompt reactions but on this one he is spot on and I support him 100 % our roads are excessively abused by those akunamatata trucks from Congo and Celtic logistics let them use the railway and Sata please pump more money RSZ not just making fake promises

  56. When you pass Kabwe town, it’s no longer street vending but Rail line vending, where’s the train? No rail crossing signs narrative lights. Job well done pf

  58. TO NO 34 CHIPOLOPOLO I CHALLANGE YOU TO COME IN THE OPEN FORUM AND PROVE THAT YOUR UNCLE MWANAWASA WAS CLEAN.
    HE WAS AS CORRUPR AS ANY OF THE PREVIOUS ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT.THE ONLY THING WAS HE WAS NOT A CABBAGE THAT SATA AND COMPANY THOUGHT AND HE TOO STOLE A LOT BUT STOLE WITH STYLE.CORRUPTION IS CORRUPTION.ARE YOU A RELATIVE OF THAT CORRUPT MWANAWASA.COME OUT IN THE OPEN.IT IS YOUY THE COWARD THAT IS HIDING IN MRS MWANAWASAS TOILET

  60. Well Done PF that’s the way to show leadership.Younhave caught the
    Opposition OffSide!!
    Let’s see how the Others React.The Zambian people support this
    move.Now let’s rebuild ZR.

  61. Ba Mumba what were you going to do yourself if you wr president have you seen the status at RSZ. Those are not investors but scrape metal dealers. PF government is right on this one

  62. I miss those golden days when I would use the train from KT to KPM and then connect on TAZARA to KEZU as a school boy. IAM SURE OTHERS WERE NOT BORN BUT CERTAINLY NEVERS will know what Iam talking about. Can nevers tell us when the last train carrying copper used our raily system from our mining towns. Our raods are over loaded with trucks carrying cooper and Nevers doesnt see that. Shame on him. I know HH will also make a statement soon condemning the reversal.

  63. Mumba plse dont just oppose anything that the govt does for the sake of being in opposition, if you Mumba has the interest of the zambian pipo you would 100% support this move. RSZ has done nothing but destroy our once wonderful railways. This is a good move by the PF govt unless one is as blind as Nevers to see what RSZ has done.

  64. People like kungfu dont think, there is a proper way of doing things, that is why even when a thief is caught you don’t mate out instant justice. We must follow laws, and not allow a provision where we set precedences that will work against us. Re-nationalization of RSZ is long due but for posterity’s sake why do it in a way that sets dangerous precedence and weakens our investment policy. We don’t live an Island and its very wishful and UN-analytical to think we can survive on our own in a world based on global interest. Lets move intelligently with prudence!

  65. In its transport sector,no one benefited from RSZ.I can say i have benefited from Euro Frica services,Mazhandu etc but not RSZ.Let it be given to others who can work had for the Zambian masses to benefit from it.Nevers!! You dont know wat u are talking abt.Being in opposition is not just to talk anything even if its not making sense.Think b4 you open your mouth and make sure that you vaccinate your statement b4 opening your mouth .

  66. Good move by Hon Chikwanda. The RSZ uprooted the railway from Kitwe to Kalulushi and Ndola to Luanshya rail was removed by some company owned by one serving Cabinet Minister. Cast the net wider PF GRZ. The most dangerous enemy is 1 within 

  67. Rhodesia Railways which ran staem engines was better than RSZ……..these chaps have eroded the infrastructure! I dont know when Ilast saw chigusu…..Yes bring back ZR…..

    • DR Mumba On this one you are so Quick to Condemn the reversal of RSZ by Government. The Reversal by Government is in the interest of The Zambians because Zambia Railways has been operating below standard. RSZ management had no Plans to bring Zambia Railways to what it used to be. For once Give credit to something that is well acceptable by all zambians.On this one I give credit to the Government.

      MMD president Dr Nevers Mumba speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka.

      MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba has condemned the decision by the PF government to nationalize the Railway Systems of Zambia.

  68. I thought Dr. Mumba you were a pastor who could see beyond the nose and put other people in your shoes who were using and benefiting from the facility (Zambia Railways) before the concession! Can you say that RSZ has been doing fine or it was just a sinking boat? The government is there to see, judge and put correct intervention where necessary in order to protect the interests of its citizens, can we say that is bad? Opposition does not mean that whatever the government does should be opposed and condemned, then we don’t know what constructive opposition is all about!!!!!

  69. nevers just go back to man your church.you are a man of God, leave politics for others ,you are just worsting yo time.why cant you enjoy your money you made in church and forget politics.mmd is a finished party and its stinking. They have left you dirty linens and wont manage to clean it. think about it. hh is still young and childish.if hh want to rule this country one day, should first stand as an mp so that he matures up.

  70. Can you do the same to Mopani Copper mines? because you were saying the mines where sold very cheap, almost given free of charge. Take them back please they belong the Zambians. You are going to save all the externalised cash. Aaah yaba Ba PF bena they do n

  71. @KUNGFU, CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI SOLD THE WHOLE RAIL LINE FROM NDOLA TO LUANSHYA! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LET HIM DEFEND HIMSELF NOW! PATHETIC FOOLS!

  72. Ba Mumba – you have joined a team of COWARDS who ALWAYS THINK that what an investor is saying is always the TRUTH. Because of cowardice on the part of the MMD, this country has lost on good investments. Clealy the Zambia Railway deal was very bad. Investors have made money for themselves not for Zambians. 

    It is good to be in Opposition and oppose. But stop and think before you criticise. We are lucky we voted MMD out of power….they could have continued with this fake investments – Zambia would have continued to lose money in the name of investment…GROW UP!

  73. RSZ was not privatised ba former pastor.Its was concessioned and one of the clausesallowed Govt to revise the deal.Even the MD for RSZ has stated that they will not contest the decision.By the way what is this obsession with foreign investors?We have had them for the past 20 MMD years and know what they have to our country.

  74. NEVERS dont just oppose any how just because you are in opposition, our roads which were recently repaired here in Ndola are already disfigured by heavy load trucks, our truck drivers are so careless on the roads they behave as if they are driving small cars causing so many accidents especially in the night. For how long are we going to cry for better roads if we can find a solution to reduce heavy loads on our roads?

  75. Does Nevers Mumba see the damage that RSZ had done to Zambia Railways. The chaps came with literly nothing apart from bribes whcih they offered to technoctrats. Govt action is not nageting development or scaring away investors things must be done in a transparent manner.What else does one describe the concessioning agreement between ZRL and RSZ.It was like a rider and a horse. You spend a day at Kamwala you will be luck to spot a goods train passing in days. They have sold off all rail sleepers be they iron or timber and all sidings land from Copperbelt to Livingstone.Mumba distinguish good investment to invaders. RSZ was like a parasite living off public assets whilst we awere watching zee with our arms folded. Emmanuel Hachipuka is a veteran business executive made nagative comments on R

  77. Plz Nevas understand the subject b4 u utter anything simple. RSZ was not sold but merely concessioned and government has every right to decide otherwise if the deal was not benefiting citizens. It seems u hav a problem translating basic economics as evidenced during yo interview on ZNBC TV with K Mando. RSZ claim to hav invested $50 million but all wat we see is vandalized infrastructure & selling of scrap metal at the expense of improving ze system! SHAME.

  78. Zambia shall be SHAVED under Mumba, go back to the pulpit and preach the word of God otherwise he will punish you for cheating him. Mumba said zambia will lose investor confidence, If these investors are coming to are coming to ruin our economy which is already ruined, then they must go to hell. How much profit has RSZ made from the time of its concession to date? have they improved the infrastructure or it was going down. You think you will cheat us again, we know you are going to sell mmd again just like you sold your party for a meager position in govt.

  80. Some venures the state can do like Railway,airways,broadcasting,power,telecomunication and post services.The problem is NEPOTISM and inefficiency and MALADMINSTRATION.Can it be different this time around?And at what cost to the treasury is take over?Thats the question we should ask pf.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

  83. Ba Chituwo, there are too many broken bones waiting to be mended. You wasting your time following empty drums that make noise every day. 

  84. Justified and long overdue!! RSZ performance has been pitiful and pathetic. They should be investigated and culprits brought to book for stealing from the people of Zambia.

  85. BOTSWANA
    Glittering prospects
    The government does all it can to tempt foreign investors into diamonds, and other mining projects, too
    As parliamentary elections approach in 2014, Botswana’s divided opposition parties cannot complain about the economy (AC Vol 53 No 16, Threats to Khama fade). The biggest gesture of confidence came from diamond giant De Beers, which began in mid-August to move all its final sorting and marketing operations from London to Gaborone.

  86. BOTSWANA Continuation…..
    Glittering prospects
    This means moving skilled staff, technology and equipment involved in its global ‘aggregation’ operations – the final assortment process of like-for-like diamonds produced by all its mines. The move will be completed by the end of 2013 and was described by Varda Shine, Chief Executive Officer of De Beers’ Diamond Trading Company, as ‘perfectly timed’. BOTSWANA
    Glittering prospects

  88. Nevers should have taken time to read and analyse the terms of the concession not just yapping.Investors should be genuine and be seen to be improving the welfare or social conditions of Zambian workers.Loo at the mines for example where they employee unqualified muzungus and yet leave out well experienced and educated Zambians.

  90. Dr. Chituwo, I have respect for you becos you don’t talk any how. As a matter of fact leave that team of preachers of propaganda

  91. Mr pastor mumba, u will never force a horse to drink water.pipo hv said NO to lead them as a claimed man of god.how then can u impose what citizens dont want.if u only realised and knew how we hated the way u behaved before us zambians u would have gone bak to pastor some church out there which maybe in need of your STUBBORNESS and RUSTED leadership u,u wouldnt hv even toked about repossession of limping firms.we kno u dont mean good.otherwiz president Sata is doing us good through these reshaping of formerly owned compnaies and we are happy as zambians as they dont belong to u rather they belong to us.so leave all in our hands as u prepare to find some church to lead

  92. AND HE IS BUSY ACCUSING THE NEW GOVT. OF CAUSING THE ACCIDENTS HAPENING IN THE ROADS, FORGETING THAT MOST ACCIDENTS ARE BEING CAUSED BY OVER LOADED ROADS BY FOREIGN TRUCKS CURRING ALL HEAVY LOADS AND DRIVING CARELESS WITHOUT CONSIDERING OTHER ROAD USERS. THIS MAN IS VERY SICK IN THE HEARD, AND HE CALLS HIS CRITISISM AS CHECKS AND BALANCES, HE DOESN`T EVEN NO WHEN THE SCALE IS BALANCING OR NOT. HE IS JUST ONE OF THOSE OPOSITION *****S WE SEING EVERYDAY. FOR SURE GOD HAS MADE HIM MAD BEFORE HE JUDGES HIM.

  93. HAS ZAMBIA GONE TO THE DOGS OR HAVE THE GODS TAKEN OVER???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  94. RSZ WAS GIVEN TO CROOKS AT A GIVE AWAY PRICE SURPOTED BY CORUPT MANAGERS. WELL DONE PF YOU ARE AT WORK. THEY DAMAGED THE SYSTEM.

  95. Nevers give us a break. Study the issue at hand before making a statement. Is it because there is no rail line to Chinsali? Us Tongas are very happy. This time it is PF!!!!!!

  96. Zambia Railways is better off in the government hands. the fellows who have been running the institution have failed us. how does one explain the stripping of the company, selling rail lines as scrap metal!

  97. @ #25 & #40 You both need to expand on your observation for the education of the rest of us. I find your comments educative and informative.

  100. #39 and Kanowene do not be stupid. Don’t insult our President and the man of God you will be punished by God before 2016. Ooh.

  101. I wonder what Mr Mwanawansa saw in this man to make him Vice President, this guy Nevers is so silly and he is an ***** of the highest order.
    I wish 2016 could come soon to see how many votes this guy will have. Nevers be serious for once and engage your brains before you engage your rotten mouth.

  102. We know who sold the rail line from Luanshya to Ndola, Honorable Minister Kambwili was not part of those thieves, I can name them one by one, I was once working with them in Luanshya mine. So please leave my Minister out of it, let him continue doing his good works.

  103. Fallen man of God- cum Failed politician, what is your problem? why do you always seen the wrongs in everything that PF does? Failure!!

  104. PF is performing badly can we the Zambians take back the country from their bad performing hands and give it to more capable hands? …. eh I thought so.

  105. Its own that you be taught my head! You seem to learn much regarding this, that you penned the ebook in it something like that. It is my opinion that you really could quite possibly use several w.h. to help you power the solution residence a little bit, on the other hand could, that could be excellent blog site. An excellent read through. Cover be back again.
