MMD national chairperson Micheal Mabenga said yesterday that President Banda has not abandoned the legacy left by President Levy Mwanawasa as it is the agenda he was voted for in 2008.
Mr Mabenga said the legacy is not a personal deal but an agenda made by the party and Mr Banda has continued working as he promised when he was elected.
He said in an interview in Lusaka that people should understand what legacy means before they utter any misleading statements.
Mr Mabenga said the manifesto of the party has not changed as it is not a personal agenda.
He said when President Banda was elected in 2008, he swore on the agenda of the party to continue with late President Mwanawasa’s legacy.
Mr Mabenga also wondered why people have continued blaming Mr Banda on the legacy which is a party manifesto.
He was reacting to Former Defence Minister George Mpombo’s remarks that President Banda has destroyed the legacy of President Mwanawasa.
“What I know is that legacy means the way you approach something and I think people are missing this word which they have to understand very well,” Mr Mabenga said.
He said President Banda has continued with all the programmes left by the late President and will continue to do so.
And Minister of Science and Technology Gabriel Namulambe says he will continue fighting for the legacy of the late President Levy Mwanawasa.
And Mr Namulambe has said people must stop destroying the Mwanawasa legacy.
He said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that some people in this country have continued destroying the legacy of the late president, adding that this should not be accepted.
He said his statement is not based on tribal politics as alleged but on the legacy Mwanawasa left for the nation.
Mr Namulambe emphasised that people should not down-grade the Mwanawasa legacy but uphold it to build the nation economically.
He charged that Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia (FFTUZ) president Joyce Simukoko is not the right person to castigate him as she was allegedly in the forefront fighting to down-grade the Mwanawasa legacy.
Mr Namulambe was reacting to Mrs Simukoko’s statement that politics of tribalism should not be tolerated in Zambia because they are a danger to society.
She castigated Mr Namulambe for allegedly practising tribal politics. Mrs Simukoko said it was shameful for Mr Namulambe to speak for his tribe, saying leadership should be above tribal inclinations.
She urged the people of Zambia not to vote for people who promote tribal politics.
Last week, MMD acting spokesperson Mike Mulongoti said Mr Namulambe’s statement that Lambas are not happy with President Banda’s leadership is not representative of Lamba views because he did not consult them.
Mr Mulongoti, who is MMD chairman for elections and Minister of Works and Supply, told journalists in Lusaka that Mr Namulambe was merely expressing his opinion to which he is entitled.
“I do not think that his statement is a representation of something wrong. I do not think it is an indication that we are not happy with anything going on. Individuals are free to express their opinions,” he said.
Mr Mulongoti, who is Lamba, said people from his tribe are so many that Mr Namulambe could not have had enough time to go round consulting them because some of them are in Zambia while others are in neighbouring countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo.
And Mr Mpombo says tribal politics can plunge the country into crisis and should be avoided at all costs.
In a walk-in interview in Ndola yesterday,Mr Mpombo said tribal politics could degenerate into chaos and that the people of Zambia should refrain from practising tribal politics.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
why do you keep refering the MMD policies as Levy’s policies
Could someone please tell me WHAT REALLY THE MWANAWASA LEGACY IS???
What legacy do they want you to protect? Legacy of a failed marriage life going for secretaries, stealing UNZA land, stealing Galledou’s asset and converting to self, legacy of corruption in the sale of a multi billion Dollar KCM for a song of US $ 25 million, ZANACO for a song of US $ 25 million, scandals at ZANOIL, Transahara and stuffing familiy tree in missions? Maybe you are talking of a legacy of winning by 29%.Legacy of making UNZA students graduate from loof topsLets trash this nonses of an imaginary legacy.
What legacy ? What lagacy? And again i ask what legacy?
iam trying to believe i did not read what i read.mabenga says legacy is a way of doing things.mabenga wondered why the people are blaming RB .OH, what a waste .mabenga is wondering why the people are blaming the president .who should we blame .why do we vote leaders in .so that they can sit and get paid or so that they can be on TV,like mabenga .it is impossible to develop when u have such shallow leaders.mwanawasas showed hope.peoples expectation of govt was raised.he promised the rule of law.he called kaunda a chap when kaunda campaigned for HH.he brought sanity in govt.and when we see this going down mabenga says .no dont blame RB.by the way take the paper on mabenga tables is written lusakatimes.whats going on.is this story by lusakatimes.
leaders are elected on there manifesto .RB went round zambia telling the people that as vice to mwanawasa,he understood what mwana… wanted.there is total confusion in MMD ,namulambe says one thing ,mulongoti says something else.however the tribal politics will be the order of the day if a minister would stand up and say the lambas blah ,blah .RB must have felt it in kasama when he went to campaign for he could not say what he told the easterners that sata is not from here and so you can not vote for him. so a great leader should rise above ribal politics and to my knowledge the lambas are the most diluted tribe due to the mines in there areas.you cannot walk in ndola and immediately tell a a lamba.they have embraced all the delvelopment dynamics and have become an embodiment of a zambian
o stop using the lamba to entrench ur position or entrench fear in RB that u are indespEnsable.we are sick and tired of mediocrity like namulambe .the people need development not statements that they later dissociate from.the MMD govt has failed the whole nation , and not sections .so in the PACT we are seeing the aspirations of the zambian people, and not the associates of mwanawasa.coming to think of it mwanawasa is gone.ubulimi bwakale tabutalalika mwana.so the legacy story is having no bearing on the current status ,with due respect to what levy did.governance is continuance .it is not a project with a start and end date.it is when u fail that people put an end date to it like now.viva PACT
#3 DO you really know Levey Patrick Mwanawasa? If you did you would write the nonsense you. I doubt Zambia has ever had a great leader like him. This is the man they all called Cabbage and by the time he died evidence was there for him to see. People didn’t just heap praise on him because he had died. The praise was a genuine reflection of the man’s contribution to Zambia. If he was ueseless as you suggest people on this blog would not have hesitated to say so as this blog has a lot of indepenedent minded people who can’t be bought. Check honourable the story of when the death of honourable Teta’s death was announced and check the story of when LPM’s death was announced and you will see what am talking about.
I don’t believe in Levy’s Legacy, if there is one let that legacy defend itself. Yes there are difficult days ahead because the bembas,and ngonis will demand an apology from the Lambas for persecution during mwanawasa years. To Rupiah I have this to say with a heavy heart – show yourself a man. Show the insurgents within your party that you of head of state and party leader.
RB ‘s visit to Barotseland has demonstrated that he is ready to respond positively to genuine concerns. Levy Mwanawasa left a legacy of inclusiveness. Prior to LPM of blessed memory, preceding Presidents (KK, FJT) were anti Barotseland. LPM was for the Barotseland. RB is for the Barotseland. RB has kept LPM’s legacy over the Barotseland. Though it remains to be seen how he would react if Barotses raised the issue.
listening to what zed pipo want – is mwanawasa’s legacy. LPM pushed parliament to lift kafupi immunity and prosecuted kafupi for stealing ONLY because zed pipo demanded it! LPM allowed successful prosecution of Bulaya to go ahead even though it was clear he wanted the case dropped. RB SAYS “I AM STUBBORN” and you have seen it – he had kafupi acquitted; look at how he re-appointed Dora! The pipo know what they want and whoever is president must respect that. How can RB bring “wamuyaya UNIP rhetoric” to MMD by getting MMD NEC to declare him sole candidate for 2011? Pipo rejected this level of thinking and operation 20 years ago!
RB should just delegate ‘defending the legacy’ to the POST, Zambians are more interested in him building his own legacy.
#10 going to barotseland just shows panick panick! since barotseland helped him win – how ny times has he been and what has done? dont be so gullible!!
MMD Chief Bootlicker, Has # 3 lied on any issue raised there? Pick up one issue he is wrong.Do you know that KK fired Levy for his misconduct as Solicitor General a job he only held for only 9 months?
What legacy do they want you to protect? Legacy of a failed marriage life going for secretaries, stealing UNZA land, stealing Galledou’s asset and converting to self, legacy of corruption in the sale of a multi billion Dollar KCM for a song of US $ 25 million, ZANACO for a song of US $ 25 million, scandals at ZANOIL, Transahara and stuffing family tree in missions? Maybe you are talking of a legacy of winning by 29%.Legacy of making UNZA students graduate from roof tops.Lets trash this nonsense of an imaginary legacy.
Am begining to think RB is the right man in state house, he should get rid of namulambe, the legacy is about MMD policies and not lamba’s and levys relatives
I disagree with no11 because he has little understanding of the rule of law. Is he suggesting that Levy made adequate arrangements to have chiluba convicted? A president cannot make personal arrangements with his colleagues in the judiciary to convict people he hates or had differences with. Levy tried to finish the findley family by the same methods by ensuring they were in court and the Post. If you want a debate along those lines we can show you that Levy was a tribalist. If that is the Legacy you are talking about then it is absolute lunancy.We are waiting for the court judgement of his fellow Lamba – Ryan Chitoba to see how this legacy will stink his fellow lamba. Ask Chitoba if he likes this talk about legacy.
what legacy I dont want to hear about this crap again, wasting our time if you are dull just shut up .. we want to hear new ideas not about the same corrupt LPM . you all know the wrongs he did when he was in statehouse i dont need to repeat;;
Namulambe said the truth though he shoudn’t have singled out the Lamba’s as the only ones who are not happy coz his statement was digested wrongly by the masses otherwise everything he said is the truth because Banda found himself where he is because he promised to carry on working with Mwanawasa’s vision.Mwanawasa like any of us humans was imperfect and definately made some wrong decisions but he did a great job as President.I have read several stories originating from undisclosed sources,most likely Banda’s PR team about Mwanawasa’s dealings but i don’t think all of it is true moreover,he’s dead,it will not help anyone if the party he belonged to,MMD & his Vice who is now President start making absurd accusations at him,a dead man.Let the people decide who is better between him &…

WHAT LEGACY DO THESE PIPO TALK ABOUT? IN ZAMBIA THERES REALLY NOTHING TO DO. Its like now every man and woman in Zambia has stopped whatever they were doing, and they are now doing “Levy Legacy”. You guys do you have anything constructive to do? Instead of implementing developmental projects now they are designing and constructing ci ‘levy legacy’. Nations with fruitful legacies never even talk about them. Because those legacies are visible. Zambians should understand that if one needs special glasses to see this so called levy legacy, then it doesn’t exist.
I don’t understand Mabenga. They campaigned for RB as somebody who would uphold LPM’s Legacy now he is implying there is no LPM legacy to talk about but MMD policies! I for one did not think there was a legacy which RB would uphold and do not see MMD as a party with policies or a vision. MMD should shut up and spare us this nonsense.
Legacy is a POST fabrication, they concocted it when it suited them during their zambian airways troubles. its better left for the news paper to defend, please everyone else go back to work.
RB is not a robot who should follow any thing that LPM did as he has a brain. Namulambe should create an impression that what LPM did was excellent. In my opinion RB is fur BETTER OFF than LMP. The LMP Tree should be dismantled. Namulambe ZWAAAAAAA
Mabenga is right. How can RB destroy a legacy that was not there to begin with. Get real people, Mwanawasa never did anything for Zambia.
RB is right. let him be himself and not a copy right of LPM, this is true leadership,and styles differ. LPM LEGACY is over,RB must create his. Even Chiefs from the same ROYAL BLOOD never rule the same.VIVA…MABENGA..I know you are just trying to be mild and diplomatic,but progressive minds know exactly what yuo mean.GOD bless RB.
Namulambe Zwaaa, go and get a job from Mmembe or the pact
Goodevening
According to my understanding, a legacy defines stattutes or heritage handed down from an authority, ancestors or a predecessor from the past. In most cases, the problem is not with the legacy but with the people that are using it to propagate their personal interests. Ye shall know them by their fruits…
Good question, what legacy? Can we also stop calling these leaders “great.” What is a great leader?
In any case why should one particular tribe complain of being marginalised now. What about the other many tribes in ZAMBIA that have not had a PRESIDENT,do you think we are dull..NO.Let us respect our HEAD OF STATE .Democracy does not entail insulting your H of S. Americans don’t do that,but wisely wait for elections and make their decision.This culture of insulting the H of S is not acceptable.Be guilded accordingly.
All this talk about “defending” and carrying on” with Levy’s legacy is ridiculous. Rupiah Banda does not have to “carry on” with Mwanawasa’s or anybody’s legacy. He has to BUILD his OWN legacy that he will be remembered by. I doubt anybody wants to be remembered for doing nothing except “carry on” somebody else’s legacy! Your legacy is what you leave behind and nobody can add or subtract from it. In other words, your legacy does not need defending. Your legacy will stand on its own merits and therefore defend itself. Regardless of how much or how it is vilified, it is not for those you leave behind to defend your legacy. Banda’s record will be judged on his own failures of or successes – Not MWANAWASA’s failures or success, therefore his legacy.
It is a fact LPM did better than FTJ and moved our country forward economically but I find this Namulambe thing of defending LPM’s legacy injurious and uncalled for.Levy’s legacy is and will be judged from the time he took office up to his death FINITO!! RB is and has responsibility to create his own legacy cos he was put in office by the people of Zambia.His allegiance is to the people of Zambia and NOT LPM or Lambas.
Iwe ka Michael Mabenga fat man with your Mwadya Mweka Daddy (MMD) Or Movement for Mad Dogs (MMD) if you think you have upheld Levy´s legacy, why have you refused to appeal in Chiluba´s case? Why have you dissolved the taskforce on corruption? Why have you gotten finished and crooked politicians back whom Levy rejected like VJ and Nevers Mumba? Why did you increase your salaries which Levy opposed? Why have you let the Dollar shut rocket high? Do you think Levy ever thought of RB succeeding him? Why did you let RB son Henry bring in GMOs? Why have you dropped Magande? Why have you dropped Silvier Masebo? Why have you put your RB on aviation training very after fortnights in the name of working trips? Afisi imwe. Anyandule imwe. Why musobela paunga odula kansi?
Mrs. Simukoko`s statement has no sense becoz the person who has been practicing tribalism is Rupiah Banda. Isn`t it RB who told people in Eastern Province not to vote for presidential candidates who dont come from that province. RB has appointed 4 Easterners on the electoral commission is this not tribalism?
Why why and again I ask why?
Is it because the sky is so high?
From Zambian politics I really want to run
They’re more like children having fun
And have forgotten how it all begun
When by bloodshed independence was won
And our ancestors lifted the spear against the gun
To defend their legacy under the sun…
#34 beautiful poem Nine Chale, “Our ancestors lifted the spear against the Gun”. That says alot. And to make things worse most of the people in Government were there during the Independence struggles, they’ve forgetten because of greed.
#35 Beyonce thanks, In fact I wrote this poem after listening to a song called “Tribute to the martyrs” by Steel Pulse a while ago. Poems help me deal with sad isses of life in a funny way.
The crossover to be from Unip to Mmd had done it behind doors. The people who will switch parties , come 2011,are doing it openly. My observation is RB is extending Unip legacy – that sucks.
LPM is DEAD! i dont care about him anymore he did his part and now its time for RB to do his part. I dont like MMD but this time i will defend RB. RB is not a robot who should be going to embassy park to consult with a dead man before making decisions, RB was voted (employed) by the Zambian people and not Mwanawasa, he answers to the Zambian people and not MWanawasa. As much as some of the things Nalumambe said might have been true, i think this is the time Banda should show who is incharge and fire him this minister. This bulsheet of legacy should come to an end let the MMD follow the party’s manifesto and not a dead persons ideas. Coming to think of it RB is following Mwanawasa’s legacy by acquitting criminals, LPM wanted to acquit Bulaya the same way Kafupi was acquitted!
we’re replacing lamba’s and lenje’s with easterners. the man left a legacy of tribalism and nepotism. the problem is when r.b. stood for elections his slogan was “upholding the legacy”, which unfortunately was a myth
people should desist using levy’s name in anyway in support or not. Let Levy rest in peace. Every manguam who wants to be heard shouts Levy’s legacy we are tired. People will be fed up of this nonsense especially that this time around it even used to make utterances that don’t add value to our well being. Namulambe should know that he is also destroying Levy’s so called legacy by singing tribal songs. Leaders should start taking heed in the way they handle these tribal sentiments. The inheritors of Rwanda are their grandchildren when these insensitive politicians without focus will be long gone. RB is another of those peddling tribalism by making appointments the serve as testimony to this fact. What a country!!!! One asks where are the sober minded Zambians??
I believe that when one joins politics they do it because they want to better peoples lives. Well thats the impression they give. After seeing the S600 Pullman Guard that Government has aquired for the president, one wonders. I understand a President needs to be protected, do these people know what 800,000 Euros can do for Zambia? Let alone the insurance and maintenance of that Mercedes Benz. There is no food in hospitals , no incubators, schools are dilapidated and then you buy a EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO CAR. That is ridiculous.
Is there any legacy to be up held??? RB is just another failed leader like others. The goals set for these leaders are just too low, but they still fail to meet these minimal expectation. Shame on you, may you perish bafyatile …..
RB is proving unconcerned of his enemies’ obstructions and daily insults but serious on national development.The opposition need to change strategy because this man is on course.Insults are failing thusfar to deliver against RB.What he is doing may just deliver him a landslide.He is looking more humane, statesman, mature and focused.He is approving to understand politics better.Don’t say you were not forewarned but watch him:
-Zambia sees lower banks’ rates on recovery
Zambian banks’ lending rates are expected to keep falling thanks to a return of foreign investors to government securities and the opening of new commercial banks, its central bank governor said on Sunday.
Caleb Fundanga said foreign investors now accounted for 4-5 percent of the government’s weekly…
Caleb Fundanga said foreign investors now accounted for 4-5 percent of the government’s weekly Treasury bill auctions, up from zero at the height of the global financial crisis in the last quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of this year.
“But now we see them coming every week. There is a recovery,” the governor told Reuters. “There is a great appetite both from local and foreign investors and the consequence of this is that the yield rate has started to come down.
“That is going to have a beneficial impact since that is the alternative banks have to lending. If those rates are coming down, they will also be forced to lower their lending rates.”
The government in Africa’s top copper producer usually sells 120 billion Kwacha worth of Treasury bills every week and Fundanga said the auctions have been oversubscribed in the last six weeks.
He said the yield on the 91-day T-bill fell to 7.7 percent at the last auction, from highs of about 12 or 13 percent earlier in the year. Fundanga said one bank had already lowered its base rate by 300 basis points to 21 percent.
“Since we are dealing with a very competitive market now, we should expect that other banks are going to follow suit,” he said on the sidelines of a conference in Kenya’s capital.
COMPETITION
Of five new banks the central bank licensed to start operations in the nation of 12 million people, four had launched operations in the last 12 months, he said.
The four commercial banks are Access Bank, United Bank for Africa, Ecobank and First National Bank of South Africa.
The International Commercial Bank of Malaysia is expected to launch its Zambian business in early 2010, Fundanga said. There are 18 commercial banks in total operating in Zambia.
“We see more (new banks). There are others that already we are considering … this is the first time since 1999 that we have had new banks coming to the Zambian market,” he said.
“Existing banks have expanded their operations tremendously. Two years ago, Barclays Bank had something like 17 branches. They now have about 80 branches.”
Like most other African economies, Zambia had enjoyed good economic expansion in the years leading to last year’s crisis.
The governor said he expected 6.3 percent growth this year and more than 5 percent next year, in line with government projections. A rebound in copper prices led the government to up its growth forecast this year from 4.3 percent.
“The copper sector is actually doing very well. Production of copper has been going up with the opening of new mines.”
The copper price rose above $7,000 per metric tonne last week, the highest for 14 months.
The central bank governor said sugar output had nearly doubled in the last two years because of investments in sugar estates, the construction business was vibrant, despite risks posed by inadequate cement supplies, and tourism was picking up.
“I’m very confident that going into 2010 we should reach single-digit inflation,” he said. “Zambia has been trying to keep its borrowing at reasonably low levels… that is what has helped us rein in inflation.”
The governor said risks to the global economic recovery still persisted as shown by last week’s falls in markets due to fears sparked by Dubai debt problems and the central bank would continue to support the economy.
“We have seen quite a big expansion of micro-lending in recent times. The problem has been that the concentration has been on consumption, salary-based facilities. We are going to emphasise more lending to the productive sector,” he said.
Zambia launches capacity building think-tank
Zambia has launched a think-tank whose functions would be to meet the needs for capacity building in the country’s economic policy formulation, monitoring, research and analysis, the Zambia Daily Mail reported on Saturday.
Zambian minister of Finance and National Planning Situmbeko Musokotwane, who launched the Zambia Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR) on Friday, said the organization is formed as a result of little and sometimes incoherent contribution from professionals and academicians to the country’s development.
The country’s economic development policy formulation and research has mainly been carried out by government ministries and agencies, Daily Mail said.
“This government is committed to promoting a paradigm shift. we seek change in the way we do business. We recognize the need to embrace new ideas,” Musokotwane was quoted as saying by the paper.
According to the Zambian Minister, it is Zambian government’s desire to receive non-partisan professional advice in matters relating to the economic management of the country’s resources.
the minister said that ZIPAR will create a forum where professionals could meet to dialogue and influence the development agenda of the country.
Musokotwane further said the desire of the government is to make economic policy management an inclusive process and that a semi-autonomous think-tank is well poised to provide evidence-based policy advice and undertake consultancy services to the public and private sector.
ZIPAR has been established by the Zambian government and the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF),
OPPOSITION NEED TO WATCH OUT, CHANGE STRATEGY AND ARTICULATELY CENTER ON SELLING THEIR POLICIES
The dollar got to k 3.2 pin under Mwanawasa. He must have been doing something right. Numbers don’t lie. Be objective. The dismantle of the task force is a slap to Levy.
#56 Mwata PLEASE Start with increasing the wages of doctors , nurses and teachers….then you can brag about your statistics. Zambia fails to maintain ZESCO, INDENI, beg for donor money for the Ministry of Health and education, fail to increase the much deserved wage increase for your doctors. Oh and by the way I heard Livingtone’s govt hospital does not have an ambulance whilst the president has an 800, 000 Euro car. Be realistic with your so called statistics that do not improve the livelihood of local Zambians.
‘…….What legacy?
When economic power is vested in one tribal grouping and their associates, that cannot be described as a good legacy. Rupiah will need to show nerves of steel to deal with this idealogy of “legacy” coming from non entities like Mpombo and Namulambe. Why should Lambas in Government be accorded special respect and priviledges? You can clearly see that Namulambe has a “hutu” mentality.
Mbuzi,
Don’t forget that US $25 million each from the sale of KCM and ZANACO entered the economy.Play with the rules of Supply and demand and you will realize that Levy was useless failure who missed historic opportunities.Realistically there is nothing economically that Mwanawasa did to build Micro and macroeconomic stability other than selling national assets and selling Chiluba’s soul.Our commodity prices on his watch hit a historic price never seen before. Did he build Roads, deliver the irrigation farming technology, build hospitals, create jobs, manufacturing industries or stabilize our energy security?????? Certainly its a big no.Did he deliver the constitution. a free press, professional civil service, professional diplomatic corp, independent ECZ or what? Certainly zero.
Mojo, good points. The fact remains the kwacha stabilised thats my point. I Thought the fight on corruption helped more funding from donor countries help flood the market with more USD. I could be wrong !
The legacy nonsense is Mmembe and Malupenga’s own rubbish talk.This is evident with Malupenga’s panic when the curse of death visited Levy.Since when did Lambas become the centers of Zambian politics to take over every public sector within the seven years? Apart from Abram Mokola and late Philemon Ngoma, lambas have been a useless inconsequential tribe since independence.They are lazy, disorganized, promiscuous (ubuchende) and deforestation working with Mwachusas.This is why Levy had problems to staff them in his new given Government by Chiluba and Mwaanga.He started pulling all ba Kamalasha from the lamba land to be directors and Diplomats.Look at Ryan Chitoba an arms robbery given DEC, Useless Peter Chinta Ambassador to Russia a chap that has failed to even visit young kabwe with a…
Look at recalled Anderson Chibwa at the Zambian High Commission to Britain.Is that a legacy for this country or rubbish for his family tree?
Look at the useless chap that failed ZESCO as MD, look at Salassini at ZNBC just stealing billions of our TV license fee yet prosecution for none lambas only.Legacy legacy rubbish is for malupenga not our country.
Rodney Sisala ZESCO
Salassini- ZNBC
Ryan Chitoba-DEC
Mpombo failed at energy only to be rewarded with defense
Peter Chintala failed in Russia but retained for seven years
Anderson Chibwa failed in London, but retained
Mariana Nsingo is useless failure in Angola but retained
There is a comprehensive list at hand
This should show you that those lamba goofs don’t know what they are doing to themselves.They are simply insulting Zambians’ integrity and playing with their emotions collectively against lamba. levy abused none lamba Zambias who could get xenophobic against lambas.
Nine Chale you have unleashed knowledge my brother, that poem is the markings of genius. You too listen to Steele pulse their message and music is off the scales, real talent they have. Even beyonce ndule wapaize pa zed agree. I hope beyonce you are not a sellout like the original.
To the topic at hand yes indeed levy had a legacy, I do not agree with most of it’s contents but atleast he had one. RB seems not to know what a presidential forsight driven future is. One that said these guys were there at independence is very correct, but our true heroes died in the struggle or were sidelined; cheap UNIP politians. Why do you think Kaunda brought about the one party state, he knew wewould be leading today like Botswana. Remove the veils the unip era left on your eyes, infact men step out…
some men need to step out of the petticoats that they are wearing. Ho do other African nations that were at war manage to progress? We need to develop our nation Diasporans we cannot always talk or just blog. I am sending books and money for my family and friends back home so as we change the situation, because the UNIP regeme in office wont take us any where.
By the way, does Namalumbe include the Limas as well in his tribal rant? Just wondering because there are many tribes in one region in Zambia.
“RB has not destroyed Levy’s legacy”. NO, HE HASN’T. HE IS JUST LINING HIS POCKETS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH PUBLIC MONEY. BUT, AFTER 2011 HE IS OBVIOUSLY JOINING THE INMATES IN ONE OF THE PRISONS. JUST WAIT AND SEE.
I think am beginning to love Mojo. We need such fair and impartial people in this country rather than blind followers of talks about useless legacies that never were! By the way saw some interesting article on Zambia and Rwanda sproky.com/upgrade/groups/political/forum/topic/zambia-denies-shielding-rwanda-genocide-suspects I wouldnt be surprised if some of these suspects are even funding the MMD..lol.
inviting you to a live virtual church service lifechurch dot tv
What legacy?? why do Zambian politicians watse so much discussing petty and unproductive issues!!!
Whats the defintion of LEGACY?? can someone please help these politicians who have no direction and policies?? Mwanawasa just got free careless praises after dying,he also made alot of mistakes,am sure this is the Legacy RB has continued with. Fellow bloggers dont be Cowards lets head to Zed in 2011 and go and make a difference,some of you are just paupers in countries were you are hiding as asylum seekers,give me a break!!!
WHEN WE LOOK CRITICALLY AT ANY REAL ZAMBIANS WAY OF THINKING, THE LINE OF THOUGHT IS THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS NOT SERIOUS ABOUT ZAMBIA AS A COUNTRY, THE PRESIDENT WE HAVE IS SERIOUS ABOUT HIS PERSONAL ENJOYMENT TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE WHOLE POPULATION IN THE COUNTRY. HE IS NOT SERIOUS AND WILL NEC=VER BE BECAUSE HE IS PAST BEING ADVISED. LET HIM ENJOY THE REMAINING DAYS TO 2011 AND BE BOOTED OUT LIKE A CRAZY MOUSE
This blog is a gud reflection of the condition of our pipos minds.
The founding fathers of this great nation left us one zambia and one nation.Unity (‘all one’), has been our strength.
Today,we seem deeply divided.FTJ,LPM and RB have failed to uphold this legacy.
Before anything else,this nation must be united.A house divided can not stand.
As good sons and daughters of this great nation,let us desist from any writing that divides or we will burn this blog down.
Iwe Chimwata, Namulambe is not opposition, he is an MMD member. And Mabenga is like water which takes the color of the container. So what ever he says is to ensure his behind is protected. Leave the opposition out of this mess.
BLOGGERS GOODMORNING
WHY DON’T WE FORM A POLITICAL PARTY!! PUT ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS INTO ACTION. VETERAN, CHIEF BOOTLICKER NOTWELCOME!
I can see you have gone blind, hence you can not see that RB has destroyed Levey’s legacy…………………………
# 62 Mojo. Well said. This Mwanawasa was just imposed on us and he never brought any significant development to Zambia. Infact he quitely stole through his wife and people are afraid to face that fact. There are indication that she is involved in alot of corruption but even your RB never touches that. So what Legacy are we talking about? He was a true tribalist. Look at all the strategic positions, foreign missions, as Mojo puts it, you find bakamalasha at our embassies. On the mines, we had Zambians with foreign partners interested but he refused because they are Bembas.
I nearly died of a heart attack hearing Bo Mabenga belabouring to define the meaning of the word LEGACY. No wonder this MMD government is failing because if simple words like LEGACY or NULLITY can confuse ruling party chairmen and full cabinet ministers alike, then we are being ruled by embaciles! And for a former teacher, Mabenga is very dull.
Iwe chi Color chi Mojo, how do you classify a people as Lazy? The whole lot of them and call them abachende? Show me one tribe where there are no bachende, ever heard of tusa bu lozi, namakwenkwe and all?
Also get your facts right, SALASINI is not Lamba and will never be Lamba, go to Mbala and find out if his relatives settled there as Lambas.
Mpombo is not Lamba but Aushi, just get your facts right and pls don’t insult a people who have not done anything wrong to you. By the way I was never in Love with LPM despite him claiming to be Lamba born of a Lenje father and a Lala mother.
pure breed ulichaume,data pa nchende.stop the tribal nonsense.find yourselves meaningful things to talk about other than ifima tribes.by the way who is namulambe to bring all this ridicule on lambas,he is just one character who found favour in levys eyes that we even know about him,nakula umutwe.

A big BIG UP for our champ, Joseph ‘No Pressure’ Chingangu, he deserves our support. But ba Esther Phiri, If the announcement was that you lost that fight I would have been proud of your performance, but the fight being declared a draw is a opprobrious thing

Assistant MMD Chief Boot Leaker please nyama soya is nyama soya please.How do we work with some without a propare programme.There is totaly confussion thats why even people are rejucting him Kasama central and solwezi central.Western province is the same thats why maybe he has even gone there.Last time he was saying he didn’t ask any one to vote for him .Lozis had recently put up a very good fight and the man is in Mongu.What i am saying is that its difficult to work with some one who has got no programme or schedule of work to be done.He is just going where there problems to put puchers time is already gone to work with Uncle Bwezani.Come next year MMD kuya bebele .Litunga Kwisu uyoyange Kaongolo kanyambe wena Ngochana ya luna.Lwa kutopa lwa kulata.Yonge Ishaaaa
Ba # 92 – I am sure come 2011, RB will still scoop the elections.He is one man who is so open to ideas and he is very approachable. I am seeing a lot of presidential potential in RB. Do not you think so ZEDians?
#2 Okocha, basically Levy didn’t tolerate corruption in present or past Govt. He believed in the rule of Law as it was,The economy had began to get strong, tangible development was the priority, Free Press. No boot lickers ,respect of authority ie Parliament & Judiciary etc ,this is what has came to be known as the Mwanawasa legacy.Now the unfortunate thing is that RB has failed to ‘fit in Levy’s shoes’ since he had no agenda when suddenly Levy died and he was elected President when he least expected it !
I don’t understand this nonsense that Rupiah Banda must fit into the legacy of Mwanawasa. Why should he? Was Mwanawasa a god? When Mwanawasa tookover he fired Jacob Mwanza as central Bank Governor without any plausible reason and replaced him with one of his own. Same thing happened at Tender Board where a Mr Kapitolo was brought in on “merit”. Basically we saw an escalation of tribal related appointments and marginalization of non lambas. Never again should anyone trust these people with power they have shown us through their spokesman (Namulambe) that they love senseless quarrels.
Can someone please tell me, in simple language, what this Mwanawasa legacy is?
Yela wena kaMuzu Baanda ,Mitolo yamena besu.Mwanawasa legacy in short is.Corruption free.Who ever work in an invirnment where there was too much corruption law must take its course.to be specific Chiluba ,Regina,etc.Not just aquiting people any how.Further more free judicial system,Capital projects to be finished eg:Mongu kalabo road,Lusaka District hospital,Transparent in National governance (Dora Siliya suger). etc
WHAT THE HELL IS THE MWANWASA LEGACY>>>I KNOW OF A FAMILY TREE>>>>SHOW ME THE LEGACY!!!!!
Ask RB what he meant by the continuing with the Levy legacy during the campaigns! Levy fought corruption and had integrity. His task force sent shivers in the spines of the plunder matrix. Now that RB is in defence of corrupt people like FTJ, there is no more legacy to talk about. Come 2011 there will be no more riding on the back of Levy to win elections. These guys even used his dead body to campaign. Shame!
Legacy kubika foodu for the people on the table. Legacy is not spending days cloking those airmiles. Akapondo I have found a person to make your little thing a bit bigger. Surgery will be done for you for free. The only condition is you have to know how to use it iwe monko.
