There is no tension in the nation – MMD

Share

The MMD in Kafue has described statements by opposition Patriotic Front leader, Michael Sata, that there is tension in the country after the Presidential elections as untrue and unfortunate, saying Zambia is a God-fearing nation.

Speaking in an interview in Kafue yesterday, MMD Kafue Constituency Publicity Secretary, Isaac Mulenga, said that Zambians are mature and peaceful people who cannot resort to any violence after elections because they know very well that polls were free and fair.

Mr. Mulenga stated that African politicians should learn from the American democracy where the loosing candidate can accept defeat and congratulate the winners without any strings attached for the sake of continuity and democracy.

He said Zambian people are peace-loving and-God fearing people and will always respect the will of the majority and cannot resort to anarchy.

Mr. Mulenga noted that it is wrong to claim that there is tension in the country when every thing is normal because the President Rupiah Banda is doing everything possible to unite the Nation.

He said he sees no reason for opposition parties to continue making alarming statements when the current President has extended an olive branch to their leaders to work with him to avoid running a divided nation.

He appealed to the police to investigate some of these alarming statements made by some opposition leaders because they have potential to cause unnecessary tension in the country.

Mr. Mulenga also urged the Zambian people to give the newly-elected President time to put his house in order because he was the only leader capable to take Zambia to higher heights.

He praised the Mr. Banda for reducing Visa fees by 300 per cent, saying this will boost tourism and bring foreign exchange in the nation.

He stated that Mr. Banda is the message of hope to all Zambians due to the fact that he is the only leader who is humble and capable of accomplishing late President Dr. Levy Mwanawasa’s agenda.

Mr. Mulenga thanked the opposition leaders such as Edith Nawakwi, Sakwiba Sikota, Tilenyenji Kaunda and Nevers Mumba for supporting Mr Banda for the sake of peace and continuity.

  1. pLEASE FORM GVT AND START ACTIVATING… WHAT ARE U WAITING FOR…. OBAMA CAME BHIND U AND THE PIPO KNOWS THE A TEAM ALREADY …… WAKE UP……RB

  2. It is very unfortunate, that you MR. have got eyes but you deliberately choose not to see, you have ears but you can’t hear all in the name of POLITICS!!!

  3. dO WE HAVE A LEADER IN THIS NATION OR WHAT……..SILENCE CAN YIELD TENSION……………..PLS BREAK THE SILENCE……..EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH…….FROM CABINET TO FOOD….CRISIS NOW WE HEAR FUEL???????

  4. What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires — desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way…MMD is under an illusion…

  5. “He praised the Mr. Banda for reducing Visa fees by 300 per cent, saying this will boost tourism and bring foreign exchange in the nation.”

    Yaba, tavutika, this year. How can you reduce something by 300 % These grade 4 cadres. Which night school did they go to? If you reduce something by 100% it means you are giving it for free. Is this guy saying people will be paid for applying for a VISA. Can somebody please do an audit check on our night schools

  6. ABA ABANTU FINANGWA SANA
    CHOMA
    LUANGWA
    MUNGI AND COUNTING ARE CRYING NJALA, THEM ATI NO TENSION

    IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE POLITICAL TO QUALIFY FOR TENSION.
    MMD READ MY LIPS!!!!!!!!

  7. What tension – for losing an election. rally politics do not work. Poor finishing (PF) took a gamble on an issue that was supposed to be an internal MMD issue. Change constitution to read that ruling party will hold election internnaly.

    As for the VEEP pick, maybe Mabenga can hold fort whilst a transition to 2011 is being developed.

  8. MR each person has his own legacy dont cheat the nation. RB has his own ligacy such as arresting the press men and wmen,intimidations,corruption and sleeping sickness…..promoting high cost of living…..donations…..lies etc

    RB is not the only person am sorry…. anyone can deliver infact more than Levy……..OPEN YR EYES……LIKE ”HE GOAT” u boot licker…just want favours frm RB abash!!!!! MMD for aresting the MAN OF GOD……WHO STANDS FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH ABASH ZNBC and your customized empty documentaries

  9. Please Zambian learn to respect others and also others will respect you.Some people think that it is only their tribesman who can rule in Zambia unfortunately Zambia is a big country.The pipo who voted for RB are just pipo like those in urban ereas.In fact God gives leardership dont force yo self to rule.There are some leaders who are like IDi Amin beause of their hate for others.Please there is no tension in the country the election were just free and fair.If you lost go to the drawing board and find out why you lost.Some leaders will never rule this country because they dont respect other tribes.They are just liars.

  10. This Kafue chap should realise that you can’t create a situation just by saying it is so. People are tense, MMD included

  11. Mr. Mulenga we know that Three minutes thought would suffice to find this out; but thought is irksome and three minutes is a long time for you…no wonder the illusions…

  12. Mr Levy had only one legacy ”fighting corruption” …mainly fighting the previous admin and not his…unfortunately he was alone in this battle…….the rest of the stuff your are seing is driven by MKT FORCES..PERIOD……WHO ARE U TRYING TO CHEAT………..

  13. Is it true that RB was legitimately elected? If so, what was happening in the minds of Zambians to choose a tired and sleeping old man? Are we also going to keep quite about these issues just like that and wait until RB gets out of slumber? (if ever he will). Is RB more important than the majority Zambians who are suffering? Is it justfiable for RB to enjoy all the presidential prevarages by just sleeping when Zambians are dying? Please, somebody help me.

  14. #21 THANKYOU…….. we are aware of these politics of benefits… everyone wants to say something to please RB and hoping that RB can remember them when he forms cabinet….the only way to do this is SOUND THE TRUMPET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. 23, I am very fine just wondering what the sleeping giant is still doing now, now apart from dreaming that he is continuing the “legacy”, a pipe dream oh not the legacy the PROMISE!!!

  16. a bit off mark, I think this is one of the few threads I have been on where no one is busy screaming number one 1 and the like….Big up to CHIMBUKUTUMUKUMBUTU!!!

  17. Sata is an embarrasment to our society. Sata be man enough and accept that you lost. This Guy Sata is very bitter that he lost and he unashamedly shows it off. Making statements like this is very irresponsible. Any way, the fact of his inabillity to be President are all clear for everyone to see. Very Power hungry fellow that he is.

  18. 30. Na K, good to hear from you after along time, how are though, ifwe tulifye kenge…we believe in change and it is coming….

  19. It’s the masses that feel the tension imwe ba Mulenga. While RB is hibernating, his phantom cabinet is turning our country into another Zim…

  20. CONSIDER THE FACTS: 45 years ago, Kibaki and Michuki were in Cabinet and Kennedy was running for President. Obama was 1 year old. 45 years later, Kibaki and Michukiare still in cabinet, and Obama is a candidate for the same seat Kennedywas running. In 45 years, Obamas father is dead, we have had Johnson, Carter, Nixon,Ford, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 1 and Bush 2 in USA in between as presidentsbut in Kenya the same guys in their 70’s and 80’s are still trying totell Kenyans they can make development models that work?’ Makes u think?? Something is seriously wrong with Africa !!!!! Something is wrong withme & you too!!!!!!!!! End Quote– The only small thing a man is proud of having is a cell phone

  21. spectator

    when i talked of Baby C’S sense humour u shot me down but yday and today imwe mwebaliko tulebafyabwino guyz.

    latest

    Kitwe is no fire following the arrest of one Fr F Bwalya,all buses are on the trot to the police station where he is being interogated.Nomwine a lindalinda sana mailo i heard him with my ears and what he was saying is tantamount to bringing violence.

  22. This Guy Sata has now lost three times already! This is to say the least astonishing. Why cant he leave it to someone else in the party to try. Where is the democracy he purports to believe in?

  23. 33.Anonymous.

    OH NO! not you my friend, i thought you had a more balanced view on things, now you are exhibiting the same nature of illusions Mr. mulenga is under…. are you in Zambia?!

  24. # 30 thanks I have always admired your comments… very constructive and objectivey moulded to suit the story published

  25. Obama has campaigned for 2 years but it will take him another 3 months to announce Cabinet. Why are still at the mercy of the post. Sata lost. Thats it.

    Give Rupia time to set up his team. He needs time to balance the country properly especially because the Bemba pipo feel they were so marginalised by LPM. Do you want Rupia to bwata every day

    It was not RUPIA who created the problems it was LPM. Give him chance

  26. mr mulenga, after the close down of NCZ and KTZ, kafue in particular has been a tension town, tension is even an understatement. if hes a partaker of brown envelopes, he must just shut up. i totally concurr with #29, you need prayers and forgiveness. doesnt take one to be partisan to know the meaning of tension or does it? kafue has been a dead town for a long long time, thanks to FJC’s economical policies of making the poor more poor and auctioning the whole country.

  27. The so called “Levi’s legacy” is a falacy! He put all his relatives and wife’s relatives in key public positions in Zambia, quite unashamedly! That is corruption. We will see what Banda does…his relations? His colleagues in UNIP? Watch this space.
    Persecution of Catholic priests is not confined to Father Bwalya of Ichengelo broadcasting alone. At Chilonga mission- Mpika, the police have been harassing the priests accusing then of being responsible for the landslide votes for President Sata! Kaunda communist days are back!

  28. The loud speakers are normally PF. By making a lot of noise, they think they can achieve their objectives. But wait and see.

  29. God is above every thing and is in control whether you like it or not.Hating RB it will not help you God has aready annointed him.Those who belong to the evel ones will continue complaining and will be thrown into the lake of fire just like the boat which has come out of water beasue fuel got burnt while paddlers have been consumed by satan becasue there was no food where the boat got drowned.RB is has been taken to heaven in a jet beacuse he has been blesswed.Repent you will never win by hate.

    Since you in zambia, it settles a few things i had in mind concerning your support for one Mr. Mulenga’s Statements on the issue under discussion.It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish useful ideas from the worthless ones…think about that…

  31. # 37 Man Kunde

    Update us more on the happenings there. And what really did Fr. Bwalya say that has led to all this.

    Manje uyu Mulenga is saying there is no tension pa Zed? It only takes a little intimidation and all hell will break loose (something that we do not deserve as peace loving Zedians). Do not take people for granted iwe Mulenga. ufuna nchito kapena kuli bali gone mutulo?

  32. #41 I DONT AGREE WITH U… OBAMA’S CASE IS UNDERSTOOD…..HE WAS NOT INSIDE GVT….. BUT rb was VP…. HE UNDERSTOOOD IT ALL AND AM SURE HE WAS WISHING TO BECOME P and he knows it all form A to z… there is no excuses what so ever unless he was sleeping so did not know what was going own by who and why?????… in the house your wife knows you and the family better than anyone outside yr home…. am sorry he was sleeping this guy………..

  33. #33- Sata never lost last months elections. Thats why he is bitter, because his chance to change Zambia for the better was once again tarnished by someone we all know.(i dont want to mention names).no wonder you accept to buy mealie meal at 85pin. Its the MMD goverment should be embarrased for making fake promises fulu stopu

  34. JUST THINK! 45 years ago, Kibaki and Michuki were in Cabinet and Kennedy was runningfor President. Obama was 1 year old. 45 years later, Kibaki and Michukiare still in cabinet, and Obama is a candidate for the same seat Kennedywas running. In 45 years, Obamas father is dead, we have had Johnson, Carter, Nixon,Ford, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 1 and Bush 2 in USA in between as presidentsbut in Kenya the same guys in their 70’s and 80’s are still trying totell Kenyans they can make development models that work?’ Makes u think??

  35. # 49 Bonna do not be mislead. Who, where, what or how do you see RBB as being annointed by God? All RB did was to make oath with a bible in hand… (oh oh oh.. RBB raising the bible, kapena that is why kulibe mvula mu Lusaka!)

  36. #50 Spectator

    You must try and deliberately put yourself out of your biased view of things. PF have this idea that elections were rigged and yet nothing has been proved. To spearhead protest against elections which have been declared free and fair by all obsevers, without any proof of rigging, is tantamout to treason.

  37. ‘Mr. Mulenga noted that it is wrong to claim that there is tension in the country when every thing is normal because the President Rupiah Banda is doing everything possible to unite the Nation.He said he sees no reason for opposition parties to continue making alarming statements when the current President has extended an olive branch to their leaders to work with him to avoid running a divided nation.’
    Why is it difficulty for you Mr Mulenga to just write that “no reason for opposition party PF” instead of trying to include others in your “no reason for opposition parties “.
    Let us mind the way we talk and write please for UPND and HP have gracefully accepted defeat.

  38. Father Bwalya is with GOD right now……….this is what the jews did with JESUS…. PERSECUTING HIM FOR THE just,the truth, the oppressed,rejected society……abashhhhhhhhh MMMD
    Mateo/SKAPWASHA pls STOP THIS NONSENSE GIVE US OUR JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. #58 Baby C

    The evidence and facts are to the contrary. Declared winner of a free and fair election, Banda is now President. Give one proof of rigging. You cant. You are like many who hoped that Sata would win alas he lost. I happen to be among many who Knew that RB would win and there you go RB WON!

  40. #61 ANONYMOUS stop talking about treason, it’s like you are calling the wolf from the woods. We all know there’s a lot more that people might do than demostrate peacefully, so just let them demonstrate and be quiet, calling them traitos is inciting them. Or maybe that’s your intention?

  41. There are two visions of Zambia. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity, hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees Zambia as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to The Government of the day. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of Zambians and threatens our freedom…MMD, let me reiterate and say there is tension in the country and don’t lie to the people. I know Anonymous & Mulenga would want us to think otherwise…

  42. # 61 Anonymous

    Ati “To spearhead protest against elections which have been declared free and fair by all obsevers, without any proof of rigging, is tantamout to treason.”

    If you are in Zed or if you were closely following what transpired before during and after elections, with a fair mind you wouldn’t say that. Did you even hear the report by Transparency International?

  43. Its hell in kitwe town center, PF cadres are rioting. Pliz if you are in kitwe avoid the town center.

    VIVA YOUTHS VIVA PEACE !!!!!

  44. #33,38,48,53 Anonymous, your thinking and reasoning is shallow to say the least! The actual voting may have been “free and fair”, but the process of managing the elections is extremely flawed and open to abuse. How can you explain why the results declared at some polling booths changed by the time they were collated by the electral commission? That is the issue! There is a saying: “WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW, THEN YOU BEGIN TO KNOW”. Think!

  45. #67 Kokoliko

    To tell you the truth, perception of what is happening is highly dependant of who you support and where you are. In pf bases there could be that that perception whether real or imagined. However, I can trully understand your perception. Watch the space.

  46. #51

    It’s like things are really bad in Kitwe,shops closed ,call boyz chanting pabwatoo and that they want change.

    This mulenga guy what is he trying to tell the nation.shame

  47. The other vision finds its roots in the spirit of our founding revolution and in the leaders of this nation who embraced the age of reason. It loves freedom, encourages diversity, embraces science and affirms the dignity and rights of every individual. It sees Zambia as a moral nation. It defines patriotism as love of country and of the people who make it strong. It defends all citizens against unjust coercion and irrational conformity…the second vision my friends is yet to come through the able leadership of PF…61.Anonymous, muse over this…

  48. #70

    Try to separate facts from allegations. Who has said that those anomallies were their? The fact is that you would want to steer up anything that would comfort you to believe that sata did not actually lose. Get it from the facts on the ground. Sata lost.

  49. Please bloggers,don’t alarm the nation about the situation in Kitwe.Its CBU students who started the noise but the situation is now calm although Chisokone market has been closed.You see this Father Bwalya issue shud be taken seriously,the chap is trying to incite the nation to raise against the govt.Remember that the genocide in Rwanda was started by the catholic priests,and every body konws what happened.LET THE AUTHOURITIES TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.

  50. #64 what do you mean by free and fair? oh you mean declared by intetnational observers? forget it anonymous, those people came here for a holiday as Sata put it. They had no idea about the malpractises which were going on in full view of election monitors. And here you are publicly showing your ignorance. Sata won. Live with it! if you cant go to sleep like your….

  51. Sony Ericsson Phiri

    The problem with PF is that they just rally behind sata without understanding and appreciating the devisive nature of Sata.

  52. We have so much been fed on hypocrisy. The statements always wanting to suggest that we are a Christian nation and Zambians are God fearing people making us all be shadowed in the statements, leaves much to be desired. The people who make such statements are far from being God fearing people and are no where near being true Christians. There is too much in the country and even a dull person can tell. Today as write at this hour there confusion in the center town of Kitwe. People should not be taken for granted and be fed on Christianity by non christian hypocrites. They always want us to pray with our eyes closed and by the time we are opening, we find the have rigged the votes.Go PF

  53. #82 Baby C

    It is your word against mine. The statements you make are biased towards your wishes and hopes and disappointments. From my point of view, It is very likely that Sata would condemn those who would declare elections free and fair after his loss. Acceptance of results is his problems which speaks volumes about his character. He has done that before.

  54. There could be no tension in MMD but let the president work on uniting the loosing candidates. Already this arrest of father Bwalya in Kitwe has become an issue with PF trying to demonstrate. Let RB unite with his colleaques to reduce party tension.

  55. Sony Ericsson Phiri

    Do you remember who brought about the fragmentation of the unions? How the Ministry of health ended having seperate unions. How ZCTU was weakened. Go to the recent history and you will see what happeened.

  56. Guys I’m still waiting to hear how a priest can be locked up in our beautiful nation, are we heading for dictatorship, UNIP part 2?

  57. The fragmentation of ZCTU came about as a result of direct machination on the part of Sata. Young people of this country follow sata blindly without an iota of his negative background.

  58. #86

    Am cool. i,ll let u know as soon as i get latest infor.

    #87

    I like the way you r arguing yo case and surely thats makes the 2 of us.The other day Baby C informed spectator that she had defected to HH,today she buz difinding PF,I wonder what shes thinking.

  59. OK #93 thanks I appreciate you are trying to educate us, and why was the fragmentation of ZCTU such a bad thing?

  60. #87.Hmmmmmmmmmm! looking at the way you are posting your comments, one can easily tell that, you are in your early seventies married to a beautiful sweet sixteen. wow! its so nice to be in the same shoes with your president!

  61. I hear there is riot in kitwe. is this truee?
    If there is no tension what is the cause of this confusion in kitwe. Can MMD please confime

  62. #84 / BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

    EVERY IS HYBERNATING IN THE BIBLE…CHILUBA LEGACY… EVEN CRIMINALS,WIZARDS ETC USE THE BIBLE TO SHIELD THEIR EVILS.. NOT ALL WHO CALLS THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD… your words no. 84 have wisdom in them………..PLEASE STOP CHEATING GOD … U CANT DECRARE CHRISTINITY INTO SOMETHING….. CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT ONESELF AND GOD…. NO ONE CAN FORCE PIPO TO BE CHRISTIANS…..SHAME ON U mr mulenga..god of kafue…. u are not even ashamed of yrself…printing MMD chitenge in tanzania when u could have printed them in kafue….printing the ballot papers when u could have printed in kitwe or ndola mission press or even lusaka printers………. what

  63. #92

    He said that pipo should rise against ECZ coz in his view they failed to do a good job in 2001,2006 and that this time around they hv felled again.He said he won’t jst sit down and watch while ECZ does not deliver according to pipo’s wishes.He asked well meaning zdians to rise with him.He gave e.gs of kenya where the ECK failed to categorically declare the winner when they actually knew who had won.The Man is a PF cadre.

  64. #94 Man Kunde. At the moment, Kwalola mwela eko tulola. Sata may have his shortcomings but sometimes he talks sense.havent decided yet PF or UPND.

  65. Thanks #101 Man Kunde so that’s a direct quote, “pipo should rise”? He didn’t clarify that, e.g. people should stand up? Or are you summarising what he said?

  66. some one needs to unite tha nation as soon as possible,tension is there in the country,ministers and mmd shud not think that when we quite then all is well.zambia is like a volcano yet to errupt.people are still upset and anything can happen,ministers shud avoid u issuing provocative statements that will upset everyone.pliz ba mulenga if u have nthing to say then keep quite.

  67. Gentlemen &ladies lets see beyond partisan politics.Zambia is sinking because we have not done the best in upholding the laws of democracy.We all know for sure that elections were fraudlent,e.g inflated figures for RB in vubwi constituency where he got 10,978 against pf who got 997.Total number of pipo voted 2,050 now where did RB get votes from?.Chilibombwe results delayed coz Kasai were voting to reduce the gap.Then how do you claim that results were free and fair?We shall never have a president who will be chosen by us but imposed,because we accept anything that comes.Even a chinese now can rule us coz of rigging.

  68. #92 + 101 Seems you dont understand how mmd operates . even sata did not know what chiluba was doing thats why he is not implicated.sata was thinking chiluba would make him heir without realizing that the dwarf was a political dribbler. Dont blame Sata blame HH who refused the pact

  69. When u speak the truth…..u r always confronted by the wicked minded pipo… There is nothing wrong the priest has said……”Guilt ones are always afraid” THAT IS MMD PERIOD……..

  70. AS YOU PIPO MAY BE AWARE THAT THE BOAT CRASHED THE SECOND TIME,IT HAS NECESSARY THAT WE CONDUCT PYHCATRIC CONSELLING ON ALL PF TITTANIC SURVIVORS..! PLS COME TO KAMWALA PRISON ROOM 87 5 FT UNDERGROUND FOR NG’WA NG’WAZI CHANGE MANAGEMENT.

  71. Just comend the work done by the Catholics Priests.They are not after brown envelpes from the GOVT like some people we know. who always praise the MMD in everything thing they do. They don’t even care what their people are going thru.
    Viva fr. bwalya. Tell us the truth

  72. Jesus Christ save us emmanuel God is be with us check Emmanuel TV TB Joshua’s prophecy about what is happening in Zambia

  73. #114 absolutely…. ON THE NAIL….WELLDONE……
    WE KNOW THEM……catholic priets have always been firm with issues, upright, FEARLESS,Take the bull by its horns and always on the ball and ,speaks FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE FUD CHAIN…they do not have the lust for money like others we know…..

    SHAME ON U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. “Mr. Mulenga thanked the opposition leaders such as Edith Nawakwi, Sakwiba Sikota, Tilenyenji Kaunda and Nevers Mumba for supporting Mr Banda for the sake of peace and continuity.”

    There were supporting him to be able to get jobs!!! Isn’t it obvious ba ba

  75. Mwaanga/Maestro how are my opposer and where are your coleagues Sarah and Village Concept? Are they also rioting in Kitwe? Man where is Nyama Soya cause its like Zed is Orphaned.

  76. gentlemen dont just ague before you understand he topic. first can someone define what tension is, dont just say there is tension. Where is this tension you are talking about, is it in Kitwe Chengelo or in Zambia. because iam told there is plenty of hermony in southern,western, N/western, Eastern, central and many other Parts of zambia. its normal to have tension with your wife in the bedroom on a weekly basis but that doesnt its the whole country because it depends on what tension you are talking about. So What is this tension you are talking about.

  77. #111, Seen it Before , you wrote ‘#92 + 101 Seems you dont understand how mmd operates . even sata did not know what chiluba was doing thats why he is not implicated.sata was thinking chiluba would make him heir without realizing that the dwarf was a political dribbler. Dont blame Sata blame HH who refused the pact’.To this day, I have failed to understand how some PF cadres think. Their unelected and Undereducated candidate is the one who walked out of Super kenny’s Kabulonga house leaving president Hakainde Hichilema as it was reported by his own Imagebuilders. Why do you always want to implicate HH in your failures PF cadres? Leave HH alone! HH is UPND and he will work with his UPND.

  78. Baby C, dont even waste time you know what you want. Join the winning team Pf period, if you want to go pakwanja then thus it cause you will regret baby girl.Maestro ati how my friend?

  79. #80. Man kunde,

    I thought you were just passing a comment on it…I did not attack you as per say wondered whether you really appreciated the humor or you were taken heart-wise looking at prior comment were you you sited the feel…any ways no biggie, thats life was probably picking on you on one of my cool days…

  80. #121, … is my man, yopu wrote ‘Mwaanga/Maestro how are my opposer and where are your coleagues Sarah and Village Concept? Are they also rioting in Kitwe? Man where is Nyama Soya cause its like Zed is Orphaned’. Village Concept and Sarah are doing the needful right now. They will appear when they will have time to share with us.

    I am sure that V.Concept will give us a real glimpse of what is happening in Kitwe later on in the day. Take careful care and be blessed.

  81. Georgia Russia I am good mudala, ala iichalo chesu chili mubwafya mudalawandi…This is just the begining of the many days we are going to experience…Kukoosa makamba!

  82. No. 118 may God forgive you for calling a man of GOD TB Joshua VODOO he you know the truth and it shall set you fREE

  83. The boat landed on a dry land and developed a big crack. All what is happening people are getting out from any emergency exit and creating tension to the peace loving Zambians. Number 111 leave HH out of the PF no sense. Just fight MMD. Can’t you see that even RB is failing to make pacts to form a Govt. of National Unit. In Zambia we just have to work hard and be ojective rather than depend on politicians who are old and vision less.

  84. #126, gabriel, you greeted me with “Maestro ati how my friend?” Nili Che, bwanji umoyo?

    I am just saddened by PF cadres in Kitwe. The Undereducated must come out in the open and announce that he is stepping down as his party’s leader at a its soon coming convention – since there were plans to have one just before the just ended elections which disturbed its hosting then. There is no need for him to continue putting the country at risk. The man is old and needs to endorse someone to take over from him.

  85. Mr Mulenga is very dull, so he cant see there is tension in the country thats why rb is failing to make a cabnet. Rb has no vision for this country period. He is waiting for instructions from tetamashimba

  86. The PF cadres are simply trying to cook up unfounded tension because they lost. I believe a more founded and believable statement from RCC should be the hierachy, not this biased and perturbed chilufya.

  87. Ba Nkole #41 Dont mislead people. Obama will only announce his cabinet in three months time because he is PRESIDENT ELECT.We dont have such a transition in Zambia after presidential elections. So Ba RB should just tell the nation want he wants. He is the Zambian President not Zambian President – Elect………

  88. #125 Mungulu etc Am not a cadre but will insist that your hh is to blame. What education are you talking about when you still remain tribalistic. Dont argue… your coleagues in my town when ever they entered a pub for campaigning they only amaid at Tongas and Lozis so how did they expect to win or education was going to vote for them. You look down on what call Kaponyas and forget that their votes count too. So continue campaining at UNZA and see if you ever win. Spread your wings to all Zambians regardless..afterall Jesus came for the bad not the good.

  89. The PF cadres are simply wetting the batons of the constables. Their batons have not tasted the tenderness of human flesh for sometime and this could be that chance ku shaya rowdy rousers.

  90. What are the causes of political instability in a given country?!

    I can detect Cynicism in most of the MMD cadres and they want us to believe all is good in this part of Africa…but their efforts are being rendered useless!!!

  91. Fr Bwalya didn’t say anything wrong to offend people. You know truth hurts so MMD are hurt because he was telling the truth. He didn’t incite people to riot NOOOOO.

  92. #142, Seen it Before, you wrote “#125 Mungulu etc Am not a cadre but will insist that your hh is to blame. What education are you talking about when you still remain tribalistic. Dont argue… your coleagues in my town when ever they entered a pub for campaigning they only amaid at Tongas and Lozis so how did they expect to win or education was going to vote for them. You look down on what call Kaponyas and forget that their votes count too. So continue campaining at UNZA and see if you ever win. Spread your wings to all Zambians regardless…”
    You can continue, but my concern is that more people will think you are illiterate for making uneducated and uninformed comments like the above.

  93. Maestro,i think Seen it before has told you a very good point. think about that my brother.SATA formed Pf so he is PF. hh never formed upnd so he is not upnd. cant you see that when sata says something the government get scared cause they know that he has a big following,HH is not a factor

  94. You guys this is incitement by MMD, they wanted to cause rioting, they are pushing people by arresting the padre *during* the broadcast instead of before the broadcast or after. This is deliberate

  95. #148, SATA is my man, good point on “Maestro,i think Seen it before has told you a very good point. think about that my brother.SATA formed Pf so he is PF. hh never formed upnd so he is not upnd.”

    This is the more reason we do not need the Undereducated and unelected leader of his personal party.

    On “cant you see that when sata says something the government get scared cause they know that he has a big following,HH is not a factor”, I disagree because you and your fellow PF cadres wouldn’t be writing and talking president Hakainde Hichilema if HH was not a factor. Thank you for trapping yourself into a corner PF fellow.

  96. The BBC’s Boyd Chibale reports from Kitwe that Father Bwalya had been running a programme analysing the poll and the pattern of the results.

    The ruling Movement for Multi-Party Democracy, which narrowly won the vote, has accused the priest of bias.

    Courtesy of BBC NEWS!!!

  97. Ahaaaaaaaaa! told you MMD’S SLEEPING CREW fails to see the tension because THEY ARE SLEEPING, pass on your sleeping condition RB, now RB has the crowd.

  98. Kitwe is a Patriotic Front stronghold and Father Bwalya is an influential figure, our correspondent says.

    Authorities are holding the priest for questioning and have not yet charged him, he reports.

    BBC NEWS!!!

  99. Only the real President-MC Sata-can sort out the problems on the c/belt and the rest of the country. Nyama Soya is still fast asleep after criss-crossing the country begging for votes. He is too tired, look he could not make it to the SADC meeting, and now western province. Seriously speaking this country might be on fire-all it requires is a small spark. The engredients for a bonfire are there for all to see. The spark could be Fr. Bwalya on the c/belt. I dont know what he said for the police to pick him up, but then there it is. Ba MMD please stop stealing President Sata’s Votes. U reap what u sow!!!!!Pabwaaatooooooooooo For Life

  100. ‘But opposition leader Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front has claimed that the election was rigged, and has demanded that the results be verified. Kitwe is a Patriotic Front stronghold and Father Bwalya is an influential figure, our correspondent says.’

    The Undereducated is Bemba and the father Bwalya is Bemba also. Please, unbiased Bemba People find time to convince you fellow unsensitive Bembas including the Undereducated’s Imagebuilders to respect the fact that Zambia is a Nation of 71 – 73 Tribes.

    let us all embrace “One Zambia, One Nation” in unity as a Nation.

  101. Are People secretly working against RB and MMD Government as a way of pulling it down. High Mealie meal prices? A permit to demostrate on the Copperbelt?ZAMTEL to send bailiffs to confisticate household goods from citizens who have outstanding bills since 2001(Although ZAMTEL billing system is questionable and bills are being disputed)

    Can all these be by Coincidence? I’m smelling a rat. ZAMTEL Why this time??? To make RB un popular?? MMD Work up.

    The Lusaka Binoculars.

  102. No 36. I like your analysis. Lets do away with pipo who played their noble role by fighting colonialism. Lets have other pipo who can focus on economy. perhaps the reason why the old madalas are sticking around is that there are no benefits for freedom fighters.ITS HIGH TIME THEY BECAME HEADMEN in some villages somewhere. Lets pay them and put in place pipo who can read and follow the nation and world economies. Lets have pipo who can plan 10 to 20 years ahead.

  103. There’s tension in the country Mr. Mulenga and RB knows it.
    Otherwise why has RB been locked up?
    – He couldn’t go to Kenya
    – He couldn’t go to South Africa
    – He couldn’t even go to Mongu!!
    Why? Mr. Mulenga why?

  104. When all of you especially those that are not in Zambia start to argue about the tension in Zambia, One wonders on which basis are your arguments. Your are not here. I have heard from father Frank and got people’s sentiments. We on the ground here and we are feeling the heat. When people are aggrieved and they keep quiet it is much more dangerous than when they react there and then. Pray for Peace and no bickerly

  105. Maybe there is no tension in rural kafue but there is tension on the copperbelt the economic hub of zambia.Already there are rioting in kitwe and here people are just waiting to explode
    Where is bwezani

  106. lives may be lost, bread winners lost, children turned into orphans, people maimed, economy damaged – is it worth it? not at all, things will return to normal as we wait for 2011.

  107. ## RB ALIYA KU HONEYMOON NA BA KASHI KABILI BAUPANINE KU CHIPATA NOW THAT HE HAS MONEY HE CAN AFFORD ONE FROM SLUSH FUNDS

  108. Zambia as a political entity is a lie of British Imperialism. It was never founded on truth. The indigenous people had no input in the colonial enterprise. The divisions which are currently taking place in Zambia were there all the time. They are just being magnified by disputes related to this presidential election. But there is nothing anyone can do to prevent Zambia from collapsing like the Soviet Union did. Instead, our young peole must begin to consider how to replace the old political structure with a completely new one.

  109. LT: Breaking news: VJ is the new Chief Whip. Cat of nine lives? Dejavu!! is anyone out there stillin doubt that Banda is taking the country backwards, and not forward? How can he possibly claim to continue Mwanawasa’s legacy when he is surrounding himself with everyone Mwanawasa had dismissed!!

  110. TB Joshua’s so called prophecy is just a bunch of curses. Don’t start comforting yourselves by saying it’s Joshua’s prophecy being fulfilled. It’s bullsh!t. Who’s TB Joshua to decide the fate of Zambia? Bullsh!t

  111. Guys,its very important for us to realise wats at stake. Watever these pipo do,its u and me the ordinary Zambian tht wil suffer. The supposed Presidents with thier families are in the safe havens of thier homes,protected by state police who r paid from our tax o have oredi left the country and watching us fight and lauging at us. Lets show them that we r above that and that as Zambians we have agreed to disagree but in a respectful and peaceful manner. In case u r not aware,some pipo wil cash in if we have confusion in the nation so lets not b beaten twice.
