The letter in part
Urgent Request For a Ticket: Kabwe Cardson

Reference is made to minute ZM/5/1 dated 10th December,2008 on the above subject matter.

You will recall,Your Excellency, that on 18th Novenmer, 2008 you requested for urgent financial support for the same student and attached a medical report. The bill on the medical report amounted to about US$ 19000. While the request was still in process, a new request to purchase the ticket for Mr.Kabwe was made.

Since the later was a better option and easier to handle, we procured the ticket and sent it through your office.Unfortunately, the student has not traveled sighting complications of the operation and the related costs.

Apparently ,the University Teaching Hospital Management has responded to our request for professional advice on Mr.Cardson Kabwe, a student based in ST Petersburg,Russia.The response is attached herewith for your information and onward transmission to the student.The support to Mr.Kabwe largely depends on the professional advice as reflected in the letter.

You may advise the student accordingly.

The letter in part
Re Request For Professional Advice on Mr.Cardson Kabwe A Zambian Student Based in Russia
Refer to above subject matter.
We would like to inform you that University Teaching Hospital does some open heart surgery but the waiting list is long.

It is rather difficult to give an opinion on a patient who has not been physically seen by ourselves.

Also be informed that even if the patient was to receive treatment in Russia, an adhoc committee on treatment abroad sitting will be necessary.

I hope that the above information will be of help

  7. LT You are not very clear on this issue, Is Kabwe coming back to Zambia or will he be attended to in Russia? I feel his situation is an emergency, though i see that its only being talked about on LT. Surely how many people have access to internet in this country for a young man’s life to be dependant on it?

  8. Chalo
    Good morning!

    This is what LT needs to do so that people respond quickly quickly. You know, Pa Zed tababa lazy ama guys where soliciting is concerned, ka? You can be donating to a chap who is drinking beer in katondo street!

  9. suppose Kabwe was a fimo fimo would it take this to get him treated? am sure if the money was provided all those committees that are being talked of would not be a husle. so the solution and easiest solution is to have him come and die home or make a million and one trips to UTH or MoH. Please muthandizeni mwana wamzanu.
    Ba Moze, its been a while, didnt see you yesterday..

  16. This is sad and heartless.The letter from the Busaries committee indicates that they felt it was “a better option and easier to handle ” to have an air ticket sent to Kabwe, than send money for his operation. honestly are these the leaders we have in power.Looking for the easy way out because they can’t be bothered saving a young doctors life?UTH has a long waiting list let the man be operated abroad.

  18. sitting is not necessary at this point coz the mans condition is getting worse by the day.Why cant they treat him and do the talking later,God help us.

  19. Long waiting list my foot.Attend 2urgent matters n forget the list.An operation costing $50,000 shud click in those empty vessels u call brains tht it is so serious for it 2cost tht much.Pliz do sumthing.

  21. Let them carryout the operation right there in Russia because here the chap will only be given a handful of panadoes and told to come for review.

  22. Zoe

    You are right! :-@ is not necessary as at now! Kabwe’s health is detoriating and some is talking of a adhoc meeting? Ala!

  24. Ba gov..,ba gov..,ba gov..,ba gov..,…
    how many times did i call u???????????
    pliz stop spending moni on useless thngs such as buying cars
    4 the chief’s wen sumbodys life is @ steak.
    yes..am talking about cardson kabwe…))))))))

  26. Now i understand. This government is heartless. It does not surprise me though. If his name was “Cardson R.B. Banda”, you would have seen how fast the govt would have moved!!

  27. Rashid

    Naziba manje boyi. Its so heartbreaking this issue. And can you imagine they even want an adhoc fimo fimo? Tema allowances fye balefwaya? Meanwhile, our collegue may be dying?

  28. Ba LT help this guy, just take those copies to MTN or Zain or any other companies coz like my friend Pumpy has said not everyone is connected and in some companies their dont hav internet facilities to get such information so do something moreover you hav the right as u are an information centre.

  29. what Dr.Mwaba said is true about waiting lists. what i don’t know is if UTH does heart surgery.I remember the late Dr Nyendwa had a long list of heart patients waiting to go to RSA for valve replacement surgery.He could only take a few and the rest had to live with their condition.A lot of Zambians suffer from Rheumatic heart disease and other heart diseases so the waiting lists are long.Adhoc meetings are held to decide who gets treated and who doesn’t.Ofcourse if a 90year old and a 14year old have a heart disease you would pick the 14 yr old.Unfortunately nowadays if a 60yr politician and a 25 yr old medical student have a heart conditon.the politician will be picked.Shame on Zambia.

  30. These heartless monisters did not go through irritating and unecessary bureaucratic processes to buy used vehecles for the chiefs.

  31. That adhoc meeting on Kabwe’s operation will probably cost them a huge fraction of $7000.I know these guys.It will be an adhoc feasting.

  35. Ba Moze u r rite,an Adhoc 4wat?And at the end of their senseless talks thy get their per diem instead of puting tht money 2gether 2save the mans life,God where r u? Save yo child.

  36. These chaps are flying VIP patients, some of them who may be corrupt, to SA for trtmt at very cost with lightining speed. Yet they cannot be considerate to this young man. Does it have to take RB to interven and stop the endless letter writing, or it a hobby to write letters for these chaps?

  37. #34 Baby C,pliz dnt even go there thoz r dunderheads and shud i hear u comparing her 2Michelle,i wil man handle u.

    It really pains me hw govt is wasting money on useless things,jus 4a day meeting u pay more than 150m for the facilities n allowances its another insted of using to reduce the long list,nonsense.

  39. Nachinkalipa sana! LT, you need to give this story to the Post and ba muvi TV. This mans life depends on all of us, and not the few chaps who need to convene an adhoc fimo fimo! Please LT, treat this matter as urgent!!! [-(

  40. Let me put a few things in perspective here, I studied in Moscow and before i joined my University, my good Zambian friend died of suspected pneumonia at a Moscow hospital. This situation is not new however dissapointing. I was a student leader there who argued on many occasions with the embassy and govt officials on issues such as allowances and Medical insurance. The thing is, there is no structure of action up to now of how a student in Russia should be treated by local hospitals, the Russian govt has made it clear that all students studying there should have medical insurance so that they can be treated without delay.Our officials have chosen a very beauracratic method of first,

  41. Hella …solveni issue. Why do we even have to been reading this correspondence. Time to be theoretical is gone. Can you send some money and foot the bills Mr. President if it’s true your are our republican president. Mwanawasa’s case is no different from our student. He’s also on the tour of duty. Can you authorize him to be operated on right from there!!!

    “Maestro” in his sentiments pointed it out clearly; it’s cheaper to save his life than to fly him back as cargo. Mulefwaya tulande shani??? Tuletina nokukwata amano ati ubuteko tabwatusakamana ..atase!! Marabish!

  43. Goodmorning guyz,

    What kind of topic iz this? Tayamba guess work? Assuming the guy needs money for illiness,we need to know wen the problem started and under whose sponsorship is the man on. All in all it’s unfortunate he is sick in a foreign country,he surely needs relatives by his side

  45. Ba RB plse why dont u look for friends who can buy us propare equipments in our hospitals kabili fyonse its tulombafye. just like LPM did at BBC (Hard Talk).

  46. #41 u r very rite.Actually ths has really touched me.Its indeed cheaper to treat him than bringing him as cargo(which i refuse 2happen).Besides the man has only a sister as the only surviving member of the family n hes the one sponsoring her.

  47. the govt filled with people on the wrong side of history, who studied in soviet union, and still think russia is the same. My dear friends, this situation is very sad, whats happening is the $19000 dollars the embassy in moscow wrote is not the actual cost to be paid to the russian hospital, can you imagine how much they would save if they had compulsory medical insurance? The other thing is there is no sense of agency to this matter while the govt still continue to send more students to russia every year. Its a shame in this 21st century a govt behaves this way, its embarrassing in russia to see Zimbabeans, Togolese, Angolans, Cameroneans,Rwandans, Congolese people being looked after,

  48. Adhoc meeting my foot,do they have meetings to distribute monies for unnecessary celebrations,nanikuma ministers nga nashifuma fast..this is serious this guy needs financial help and someone is blabbing about meetings,why not hold them after treatment has been done elo that guy should not even be brought to zambia,he will definately die coz of the postponments at the UTH.i know what happens there coz for someone to just have fibroids cut it takes 5 months what more a heart problem twapapata just leave the guy in russia and send whats needed for him and it has to be done NOW!!!!.

  50. No 7. you are writing as if LT is at fault. LT has done their part and even yourself can take this issue up to ensure this students’ life is saved. Do something.

  51. Zoe

    Ma! Zoe! dont man handle me i beg! try woman -handle :d.

    Rashid!

    Oh! you are right! bemba ka! Lets try Chiluba, Chungu or Kabwe

  52. Let those who can help do what they can. Fullstop.
    There’s no need for debates here while our brother is slowly dying.

  53. #43 man kunde,the guy is sponserd by the GRZ and is an orphan who only has a sisteras a relative remaining,this is according to the info i hav at hand.

  55. The best Option should be considered in this case!!

    This best option means ” Surgery asap”!!! Nothing else

    Whether in LSK or in Russia!! This guy has to see professional doctors!!

    Time is Life in this case and not money!!

    Can someone with influence intervene and end these discussions please!! We as Bloggers may discuss and express our views but a soul will not be saved. Let us face facts!!

    Some with Influence has to stand up and do something Please!!

    Ine Nalema !! No More Threads on this case until a concrete solution is made!!
    Whom are we going to make accountable if this guy dies?
    If the ticket to go to UTH is there then Kabwe go!!
    If somebody argues that he is better off…

  56. hellla…ba LT …this is not the time to be blocking comments! Are you for what your government is doing? Let us the people talk!!!
    @-)

  57. G Baby
    Mwatuposhako first! I know wakalipa. At the rate this guy is going, i even doubt if he can survive the long trip back home. Chibi sana.

  58. Its a disppointing thing that needs agent action, the guy will die, the govt will have blood on its hands. I have been in Russia, the guy now is glued to his bed, his friends need to attend classes, all alone in winter, without any hope, St. Petersburg is distance away from Moscow where a useless embassy is. These letters take long, and they guy will wait till they meet in Zambia, what a heartless society in the name of educating pipo. Sorry guys if i have sounded emtional, but i have been there. I urge the ministry of Education and health to act on this immediately or will start mentioning names on this blog. Suggesting flying the young man back to UTH to see him then send him to SA?

  59. I don’t know whether its the Russian govt or Russian Universities to blame. Here in China at least at this University where I am, the Chinese govt pays for the medical insurance for Scholarship students.

    My advise to the govt is that if the scholarship conditions are not good, they should stop sending our children there. Every year we hear of so many problems that Zambian students in Russia are going through and no one bothers to rectify them.

  60. Continued from 55…

    in Russia then let things be done there quickly. It will not help to wait in Russia while Lusaka Surgery is the early option!! If the waiting in Russia is a money factor.. it will not justify his death, if a quick surgery would have been done i Lusaka.

    We do not want to see a Thread in the future reading “WHAT IF….”

    Thank you for your time to read my comment, which is in actual facts is Minus-Time for Kabwe!!

  62. What i know is that the government sent this guy to russia so it cant foot hos medical bills except to pay for his skool fees and when he is back be used like a mop.its unfair.NGO’S this your time to stand out and speak for the innocent guy.awe its not fair mwe so nganiba somebody nga nashifuma.

  64. #50.
    Am not blaming LT, what am saying is that Kabwe’s situation is an emergency and since LT knows so much about it, they should bring it to the attention of many people who may be able to help since not so many have access to internet! I ve just heard this news on LT and nowhere else for that matter.

  66. I think our govt is bureacratic but most of you have overlooked one point ”You will recall,Your Excellency, that on 18th Novenmer, 2008 you requested for urgent financial support for the same student and attached a medical report. The bill on the medical report amounted to about US$ 19000. While the request was still in process, a new request to purchase the ticket for Mr.Kabwe was made.Since the later was a better option and easier to handle, we procured the ticket and sent it through your office.”

    **To me it seems the Embassy in Russia by making a second request when the first one was still being processed but all the same,the govt needs to sort this matter urgently.

  67. Kabwe ngafwila ku Russia because of uncalled for delays, you will see fi Government!!! Ataseeee!!! Someone is out there suffering over trying to add proper value to your good for nothing government, mulechita fye ati fyo fyo fyo!!!

    Time you acted on it. Mfuwe issues you were going to treat them with at most urgency; with an endless chain of entourage. Learn how to make decisions when there’s an emergence.b-(:)] This trend make development far from the face of mother Zambia!!!8->

  68. Nine Chale

    You are right!this was debated extensively yesterday!. My suggestion is, lets open up an account and each one of us should deposit whatever little they can afford. Otherwise we will still be talking about the same issue till Kabwe is pronounced dead!

    If anyone has any idea, other than the one above, you are free to tell us! Its time to Act Now! Am done on this issue! But i will be back with more greetings and other stories!

  69. what crap is that. What record has UHT to treat heart conditions? Am sure they are treating Chiluba, Sata and the likes, be real. Let this guy be taken to a hospital there and the govt pays, you sent him there, get all students medical insurance, or is it so complicated for our leaders to understand this?

  74. contnd from #66
    The embassy is to blame for the mess,it seems before the money for treatment could be processed in Zambia,they made a further request to buy ticket so that the student could instead go back to Zambia which was illogical if treatment could be done in Russia,it’s a waste of time & resources by first sending the student to Zambia then sending them back abroad.

  75. Thanx for the infor Zoe,

    The best is to let him have treatment there,not fya ku UTH ninshi mulefyaya ukumwipaya,like Ba Moze has said we doubt if he can survive the trip.

    Pumpy,Zoe,Baby C ndifye best guyz.

  80. #68 Baby C i hav the Acct# but its unfortunate i cant tel which one is the Acct# and the Swift code coz they r written in Russian language so am waitn 4some translations 2be sent to me.I wil update u…

  81. Yaba!! Twalandapo sana mwe. 😕

    If the first lady were a blogger on LT…..limbi kuti fya movako fast ifintu. Nomba apa shes probably still in bed admiring the official potrait of the husband! Kwena.[-(

  86. Ba moze i hav them wth me,y ukumi setting’a.This issue is yesterdays n i had 2call sum pipo in Russia i thot this was a fabrication,so i was given all the necessary info.This is for real,i was even shown Cardson Kabwes photo.

  87. Man Kunde,mwanze ku honet moon banzatu ka? how are you man?

    Please,how can we help this guy.We need the account details.

  89. If u convert the money nided for the operation fro Rubles 2 dollars,Its actually $15,000 – $17,000,ba embassy balefwaya balilepo nabo.

    Baby C i will send them ASAP

  90. Zoe #83 :)):))=))=))
    You have killed me there. I thought i was the only one who thought like that! That potrait needs to be retaken. Iyee!:o

  91. I am interested as to how easy it is for the Adhoc Committee which oversees the sourcing of treatment outside zambia can sit and quickly resolve that VJ needs an ear operation in South Africa but not see it urgent that a heart patient needs to access treatment outside of zambia before they pass on.
    We need serious people to preside over our affairs, than these guys with the attitude of, “let us benefit first before others”.

  92. #68 Baby C waisa bwino, as usual very wise contribution, iwe ni Zee. Alweni guys ku Moscow, get together and open an account which we can deposit whatever little into. Lets not wait for this Govt, Time is life in this case.

  93. I’m imprest with the contributions on LT. Guys you all think big
    If we can have a cabinet with members like you guys, our country can be
    admired by many. we have a great country but the people we vote for have no vision for the country. we need leaders who understand social issues, health included. you guys start moving.we are young and we understand this generation. our leaders don’t read these comments. forming Lobby groups can be a start. Action speaks louder than words

  94. boring subjects today. Let me continue my research on effects of low apgar to children when they grow up and their reasoning capacity!

  101. ?68 Baby C I am really impressed with your contribution.It s time we move from theories and become practical oriented people.Lets all act and match our our thinking,words and ideas with actions

  104. Abena Zoe naimwe but pali ili ilyashi namubomba kwena, keep it up. Just goes to show that women are more practicle than men. We need ladies like youself na bena Baby C to help move our Zed forward, noti ifibena Dora Siliya awe.

  110. Guys ba moscow,st.petersburg,tveri,krasnada,varoneji,rostov on don,kazan,astrakan,kursk,samara,new-moscow,tambov,ulyanovski,vladmir,new-siberia,vlad-kavkasky,,,,and all those towns i have left ou LET US GO AND BEATUP CHI AMBASSADOR.THE EMBASSY HAS MONEY BUT THEY JUST CANT SPEND IT BECOZ THEY WANT IT MORE THAN CARDSON’S LIFE.THEY CREATE FALSE OVERTIME AND THEY USE THE SAME MONEY TO PAY THEM.HEY MR AMBASSADOR IF AT ALL YOU ARE LISTENING WE KNOW YOUR TRICKS AND SHUD THE GUY DIE YOU ALSO SAY GOOD BYE TO PROSPECT MIR. WE THE STUDENTS HERE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR LET DOWN,,,,ANOTHER LIFE TO LOOSE WE WILL NOT ACCEPT.WE HAVE LOST ENOGH OF OUR FRIENDS BECOZ OF YOUR POOR RESPONSE TO URGENT MATTERS

  112. #104 Kasai Kanko hw r u my bro.Its natural for a woman to try by all means 2save lives kaili nifwebo tuleta pachalo n it pains 2lose wat u brot pa chalo

  114. It is important for students and indeed any other person in diaspora to have private medical insurance. It doesn’t matter whether you are in the UK or some other developed country, the waiting lists are usually long.

  115. Folks you can all get the info that Mwamba has posted here.Once more Kabwe’s real and swindling our fellow country men and women,even if we’re usually broke in Russia,is an unthinkable thing to do.If the documents showing the govt’s responce are not proof enough then all those still having doubts about Kabwe’s authenticity can try to confirm with th bursaries committe in Zambia……..I guess the phone number is there on the first document.

  117. the hustle and perhaps BAZUNGU is the same cockroach. Please do not steal and plunder the people by the use of a sad story here. Why did Kabwe not board the plane back home?

  118. “Since the later was a better option and easier to handle, we procured the ticket and sent it through your office.Unfortunately, the student has not traveled sighting complications of the operation and the related costs.”
    This is the most sad reading I have ever read concerning the way our 17 year old GRZ works. The Chief Justice got sick and in less than one week he was evacuated for treatment in South Africa. Cardson Kabwe, a brialliant young GRZ sponsored Zambian I personally spoke to yesterevening, has been sick for 4 months now,in a foreign country Russia for that matter,and no one from GRZ seems to be serious concerned about the urgence needed to treat him.

  119. 118. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe continued.
    To all those who are doubting, can you please be realistic. Call the youngman Cardson Kabwe and here from him for yourselves. I feel for him, but I am doing everyhting possible to register my small help in order to save his life.
    As of now, I would like us to share this information to the whole Nation. Please, let us distribute this article and yesterday’s one to every Zambian we know. We need to get the required money to Kabwe as soon as possible.
    We also need to show the whole world that when our 17 yr old MMD GRZ fails to do their job, us Zambian Citizens can unite to help those of ourselves that are in greater need than ourselves personally.

  120. What goo is in sending the would-be Medical Doctor Mr Cardson Kabwe to Zambia where it will take a long time to attend to him at the UTH exceeding the 6 months that the Russian Doctors have projected for making sure that no more new complications arise to his heart’s condition since we are in the 4th month of his sickness? Also, if we were to have Kabwe back in Zambia and then after a long time UTH Doctors recommend that he needs further Specialist treatment in South Africa, how much TIME and MONEY are we going to have wasted in the end?
    Please, Mr President RB Banda, if you were a serious man, Mr C. Kabwe was going to have been operated on yesterday. I really miss late President LPM.

  121. 120. continued.
    Late former President LP Mwanawasa sent his rival and MMD dissident PF leader Michael Chilufya Sata to South Africa for Specialist heart attack treatment immediately he was informed of the latter’s sickness even by calling then South African President Thabo Mbeki to allow for clearance to do with travel to different countries to be overlooked as the situation was critical. This gentle and selfless natural behaviour is what I expected of President RB Banda, but I don’t know if his men have informed him. Can someone who has a direct link to Mrs R Bwezani Banda, the first lady, inform her that we have a critical case in Russian based Zambian Mr C. Kabwe. May be her love …

  122. 121 continued.
    …, seeming love, for the underprivileged and vulnerable will prompt her to find quick help to reach Mr Cardson Kabwe as soon as possible.
    Also, those with link to former First Lady Mrs maureen Mwanawasa, could you kindly inform her that her MMCI (Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative) has a community case to urgently attend to in Mr C. Kabwe. We need the US$19000 for Mr C. Kabwe’s operation in the next 5 hours.
    Meanwhile, let us also send this news to all MEDIA organisations across the worls and Country Zambia.
    To Mr C. Kabwe,please hang in there as the Lord God is attending to your case. The best will come for you soon.

  125. #117 stop playing with my name you heartless chap!! If you think we are going to steal yo money, keep it to yourself!
    You sound to be a very dull chap, i dont think even a grade 5 in Zambia can ask such a question after all the data concerning Cardson’s issue has been provided. I even wonder what you are doing in SA you silly chap, whats your occupation, anyway? am going to spend the rest of this afternoon tressing yo ass :o:o:o:o

  128. Those who re members on facebook should see the photos of Cadson Kabwe there. I actually know this guy myself. it’s nothing to joke about. He’s sick 4 real. Thanks to those who have made contributions for his heart operation.

  129. It appears the correspondense commenced in 2006, how come only now we hear of it? Where was the GRZ all along? How come they sent Chief Justice Sakala to S/Africa in the blinking of an eye? Does it mean that some peoples lives are more preciuos than others? Shame on the MMD govt. If this is not failure then tell me what it is!!!

  130. #117 shame…….. shame…. shame… ka #117,nesoni teti ukwate..
    i think taulakula iyo, jst wait u find urself in da some or even worse situation, den ukalila mayo.wapya iwe…….!!!!!

  131. 123, 124 and 126 Zoe thanks very much, I will try getting in touch with them as soon as I can. The problem is that I have some other National duties to perfrm, but I will do my best.

  132. It is sad to have such a situation. As the St. Petersburg Student Union Vise President(though not operating in that capacity)would like to comfirm personally that the whole issue has not been faked in anyway. I personally had a brief talk with the patient and had a look at the documents. This issue needs agent attention.
    It is not wise for those who have less knowledge on the issue to be giving unfruitful coments. It is insanity to give negative coments on matters you dont understand.Why not ask or keep the silence? To my fellow concerned zambians,I say, keep it up and push forward to have our friend and fellow zambian citizen treated.

    Upcoming President.

  133. #132 It would be more productive to publish details of how we can all contribute to our friend’s fund. There are enough Zambians in the diaspora to pick up this bill. I hope you can organise something quickly.

  134. 133. Chitapankwa, there are bank details and others on a posting above: #108. Mwamba. You can also contact the Zambia Embassy in Moscow Russia for more details if you think these details are false.

  135. #41 sweetZed-concluder and #43 Man Kunde please call me on 1-763-300-6420 so we can see what we can do about the student in Russia. Thanks sindine shushushu please

  138. I have no comment on this because I just do not have the FACTS.
    Here is something else:
    Once upon a time a man went to a ‘Brain shop’ to buy a brain. He found 3 brains on sale. The first one belonged to a nuclear physicist and was valued at $100. The 2nd had belonged to a doctor and was valued at $150. The 3rd was valued at $1000 and had belonged to a politician. Puzzled at the discrepancy, the man asked why the politician’s brain would be so expensive compared to the learned people. Suddenly, he saw in small print under the prices were the words ‘Hardly used’ for the politician’s brain!

  139. The student should come to Zambia and follow government channels for seeling treatment. The Zambian mission in Russia can not consent for him to go for an operation. He should come home and have to deal with his request in Zambia.

  140. THE INFORMATION WHICH MR KABWE SENT TO US THRU EMAIL IS NOT CORRESPONIDNG WITH WHAT THE EMBASSY WROTE TO THE BURSARIES COMMITTEE OF ZAMBIA.MR KABWE TOLD US THAT THE OPERATION REQUIRES $15000,BUT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LETTER WHICH THE ZAMBIAN EMBASSY WROTE TO THE BURSARIES COMMITTEE,IT WAS REQUESTING FOR $19000.WHERE IS THE EXTRA $4000 MEANT TO GO????

    COULD WE BE TOLD THE REAL AMOUNT SO THAT WE KNOW HOW TO HELP.
    IMIBOMBELE YENU IYI,ILETUTINYA. TEKASO TWAKWATA IYOOOO,NIMWE MULETUTINYA.

  141. #140. My kabwe presented his problem to Embassy 3 months ago, the amount was in Russian Rubles and this tym ruble has fallen to abt 35% against USD. thats the reason y the figures are different, but in rubles the figure is the same. hope u understand this?

  142. the people working from the russian embassy should show some seriousness in handling matters,they requested for the money from the bazaries and while the govnm was settling the matter they asked for an air ticket,and the bazaries sent ,
    they also miss infomed Mr Kabwe that its the govnment which said he must go back home.i dont undastand what type of leaders we are having nowadays.lets try to be polite in facing some matters that deals with life.

  143. #139 are you sure? be glad you are studing here where you have the best medical facilities and you are covered as long as you are legally here regardless of your type of visa.ask people who are studing in other countries you will thank God for your oportunity here.

  144. Mr.President if you are reading this blog these steps needs to be undertaken 1. The Secretary to the Bursaries needs to be fired with immediate effect 2.Kabwe needs to receive the money for surgery with 48 hrs. These students were supposed to have left Zambia with life and health insurance.Stop embarrassing us and do your job.

  145. zambians in russian we have heard your problem and some of us are organising ourselves. i for one have informed my family that some days will not be the same.

    please do not respond to some of these lowlifers,they think everyone is cut from the same cloth.

    they respect wealth so much hence the reluctance to accept this situation,despite all the proof provided by you with assistance from LT.

    we might come in later but the road is long and resources will have to there when our friend is recuperating.

    P.S. some people don’t worry about spending money on things which are of loww priority but are stiff handed to give to help.

  146. #142 life is not something you can joke about,its not something you can loose today and gain it the next day and its not somethiing you can buy ,am asking my fellow friends, lets help our friend by contributing some money to give him a second chance to live,by saving his life we will save million lives.lets not start looking for some faults because we are worsting time while our brothers life is at stek.my God bless you.(%)

  147. You have to be related to a politician to get urgent treatment.What a shame to you zed politicians.I don’t know why we pay tax and medical levy every month.There must be something very wrong with our system in zed.Please get the student treated in Russia.

  148. Surely gov’t should pay the medical fees to have the poor student operated on. It only goes to show that our gov’t has no concern for its ordinary citizens. Just the other day we heard Chief Justice was taken to RSA to be operated on for a heart condition. I wonder how long it took to debate his evacuation. Does it mean some lives are more worthy than others? Shame on u fellas at Bursaries!May God be with our countryman, Kabwe.

  149. can someone give him some warm water with cayenne paper good for the heart twice a day ,garlic daily .Parasite clease and juice some green vegs no sugar no salt no nishima . etc he will be good.

  151. His scholarship should cover medical insurance.. Insurance will meet his treatment expenses.. I don’t think it is worthwhile to fly him home while in poor health. Let him get treated where he is.

  152. i wonder wht number 9 is thinking.how do you advise something to come home and die..!!!do you have a heart pumping in your chest?

  153. If the Bursaries & GRZ CAN NOT help our BROTHER in RUSSIA, let the Bursaries CUT $200(1 month top allowance) from the $800(4 months). We can live on bread & water &PRAYERS for ONE MONTH, and our fellow student(KABWE) can live his LIFE! GRZ has over 100 students worldwide. $200 X 100 is $20 000, enough to help even during his recovery period…. FELLOW GRZ student, lets just inform the Bursaries to cut from allowance and channel the monies to RUSSIA…

    By the way, when is BC paying ? 😕 its already one month late!! :”> :”>

  154. inkongole ukfula echilelenga,nandalama ze bamachedua kutupasa izi,but its a very good idia.kutiwadabua mailo life yaisatoba iwewine.

  155. #14 ba moze, I mean you don’t really know what this is all about. I mean you can’t read, some people we’ve to be serious guys.
