  1. Seems like some people have a war wish for the country. Why dont we value the peace and stability we have enjoyed for so long?

  2. This man has no grain of shame in himself
    Isnt Chiluba the chap who deported him?
    Now he feel duy bound to protect his formaer persecutor
    Talk about having princples and morals

  3. This man has no grain of shame in himself
    Isn’t Chiluba the chap who deported him?
    Now he feels duty bound to protect his former persecutor
    Talk about having princples and morals !!

  4. mmd is just full of nonses!! so they want to use taxpayers money to send chiluba and thier cadres? dats MALABISH !! and ths chi same william banda we shall sort u out cum next year after the elections! useless mmd!!

  5. Yo ba Chiluba litako sana he did nothing when he was in power in terms of development, what he is going to tell the people of Luapula. No one respect Chiluba anymore only MMD people who thinks they can use him. Those days are gone ba Chiluba tekeni AMATAKO panshi. Ba william Banda mwaba ubushilu you think MMD will be in power forever

  6. There is no need to send cadres to Mansa. This will just serve to show that MMD is a violent party. Let MMD refrain from any acts of confrontation please. The Police are there to manage the situation. Preserve the image of your party Mr.William Sir.

  7. And then when violence breaks out the MMD GRZ Administration will be accusing PF of being perpetrators when GRZ can just broke PF problems by sending in only Zambia Police Service personnel.

    I hope the mis-President willdo something to make the violent MMD’s William banda not to ferry MMD thugs to Luapula Province.

    Have a bless day ll.

  8. Our boys are up to the challenge they have taken enough preparation to defend the country, counter thuggery, defeat its evil spirit and inflict collateral damage on those who think they have the right to be intruders.Thugs will take in deep loses to set a precedence that our tolerance is not a sign of weakness. Go aim hard with precision Chishimba Kambwili, Davis Mwila,Eric Chanda, Samuel Chitonge as chief anarchist. Police should not offer these thugs any form physical security.

  9. How can a President allow a thing like that to happen. How can the law enforcement agencies speak of protecting Zambians with such behaviour. If deaths are recorded in Mansa who will be held accountable? The police will then start arrests against the opposition. This is failure of the RB leadership.
    President Chiluba should really be expending his energy on contributing to develoment causes as a former head of state rather than this posture he has taken.

  10. When Mwanawasa gate crashed at he G20 meeting, G20 security intercepted and sent him back to Zambia on the next flight. You don’t gate crash serious business meetings when you have no invitation to your name. Here in the US a couple that gate crashed at the white House ball to greet President Obama is facing prosecution while some top secrete service officials have taken responsibility by resigning. The defense and security have the duty to cage and choke these PF cadres who want to gate carsh for drinks and violence. As much as MMD has capacity to destroy them materailly, physically and otherwise to the shock and pain of their handlers, the Police can choke these. Shot the tyres to the GBM Bus that will carry them then detain them for 3 days unless they want to meet their fate.

  11. You see now you MMD people in mufumbwe you ware saying UPND ferried thugs there to cause confusion,now how do you reconcile this one.Please stop violence we do not want you people chapwa.everything have an ending.

  12. Just yesterday Kabimba and Sata were on radio bragging that they would cause chaos in mansa with their 200 thugs. Well MMD is alive to the task against those kachaso drinking PF thugs. If Sata has what it takes to take his Chawama massacre to Luapula’ let him show it today and tomorrow otherwise he is chicken full of mouth diarhea.

  13. RB should stop this madness. Is this really going to be his legacy. William is above the law now! GOD HELP ZAMBIA**==

  14. If these people are not carefull Zambia will be on fire one day some one needs to put some sence in these leaders do not let Zambia be another Kenya.

  15. The Glorious Band sang a song( ‘Nalikwebele Tabulapo’), with a literal meaning, “I warned you”. Massive confuzion and chaos may be started in a simple way not any different from what party cardrez are planning for Luapula. Somebody, somewhere must nip this in the bud(put a permanent stop) before it gets anywhere.

  16. Who is really in charge of the MMD?

    William Banda is chairman of Lusaka Province (appointed to the position by Rupiah Banda — he was not elected as far as I know). Does that give him authority to send cadres to Luapula Province? Or has he now assumed the role of National MMD chairperson?

    Here’s where you need the MMD NEC to say something. Here’s where Michael Mabenga and Katele Kalumba should take charge. But will they? No, because they are not in charge of the MMD. It’s a game of chess. Mabenga, Katele, Mulongoti, etc. are all pawns on the board. William Banda is the player, and also owner of the chess board. Pieces only move when he moves them.

    Poor Zambia!!!

  17. where is the police for this i.di.ot to be protecting our president. can you mark this. we may jail him for that tomorrow.

  18. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Party launched

    As democrates we welcome Luena independent Member of Parliament Charles Milupi for resigning from the August House to lead his own ADD. We are in a democracy where people have the right of way. we believe that competition in any discipline is progressive and good for the country.

    Congratulations and all the best Milupi.

  19. Question is: What is to be done about the vicious, violent and rabid dog a.k.a william banda? Its handler is unfortunately so careless and sleepy!

    I can see chaos and mayhem lurking at Zambia’s doorstep. Owe mayo, what a leadership!

  20. Aha, this is very intresting reading. We never fought for independence but given on a silver platter. Zambians are docile but the docility is getting out through the window, we are slowly resolving to meet our morden oppressors head on. Chiluba failed to develop Luapula, it took one Levy to build Mwanawasa Bridge. Now this Chiluba want to cheat the people of Mansa. They are too clever, ask those in senama, they will tell you. They dont want Kafupi, he is a desgrace to Luapula. Even in Musangu, he failed to build even one simple structure for his family. Atase.

  21. So whats the job of the police if the whole lot of our republican president needs protection from William Banda’s cadres?

    Can someone please tell William to stop embarassing our President….this is bad. Much as I dont agree with some of the MMD policies, RB is our prez and his safety can not be taken care of by cadres or am I missing something here?

  22. Don’t forget chachacha started in Luapula .MMD is mistaken if they think those rebel MP’s have anything to offer in Luapula .They are just waiting for their gratuity period. RB wake up!

  23. Am also sending 4 snipers to Mansa.Bought some rifles and 2 8mm but aint tested them yet,am sure Mansa will be a good groud=d>=d>=d>=d>=d>

  24. I am now convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that between them, Rupiya Banda ad William Banda share only one brain cell.

  25. Worry for my family back home.We seem to be hearding for a show down pa Zed and ba FTJ is fighting for his freedom which he has as long as RB is in power or it will be twalafilila munsenga.

  26. Why did Sata decide to send his cadres to Luapula in the first place? The utterances of Banda are indefensible but Sata is equally culpable for sending PF cadres to a meeting that is not theirs. Why should PF gate-crash an event that has nothing to do with them especially if Chiluba is a political nonentity as others have claimed? For the sake of the peace we enjoy, we need to denounce rabble rousers of whatever political affiliation.

  27. Dulll dulll dulll president you have in zambia. he has no brains but all has gone to william Banda. Now william has taken up the job of the police of protecting the president. and the president is nodding to this nosense…… heeheee what a president in Zambia. People of Luapula just go for William Banda. He must be killed by all means before he sets Zambia on fire? Its so sad , the police are there to protect ka chiluba and banda, why should ka william take over from the police? [-([-([-([-(

  28. # 32… the meeting in Luapula is termed developmental where the development of Luapila will be discussed. To this effect all people coming from Luapula are supposed to attend so they air their opinions, ideas, concerns etc so that a solution is found. But what is coming out is that the meeting is political in which they want to lure chiefs in Luapula to MMD using ka chiluba. For example chief Chimense in Mansa has his invitation withdrawn just because he has a son who is PF. THESE ARE THE EVIL ACTS OF CHILUBA.

  29. It is irresponsible for MMD to send a controversial figure like Chiluba to discuss politics in any area in Zambia.How many times did you ever hear KK , Mandela or even Maureen do what Chiluba is doing in Luapula ? MMD surely has new young members with a better vision for the country. Is MMD a party going forward or backwards? Chiluba he had his chance in the 10 years he was president why is he being recycled? Why is MMD using old politicians and a former president? The picture does not look right. Kafupi should concentrate on charity like any other former head of state in the world. When one crosses traffic lights you do not look backward but forward. MMD needs to present their young people with new ideas who can take the country forward. There are many young people in MMD.

  30. Bloggers we shouldnt be hipocrites, we in the pact should have condemned the sending of PF cadres in the first place, to come out now to condemn this William chap only makes us look f oo lish, and double standard. All this could have been avoided if only we had condemned our youth for their activities which have a propensity for violence. There was no need for PF to send people to Luapula.

  31. Instead of sending all these youth to all these political activties. Why aren’t the bloggers concerned that they are not being sent to school or given jobs to better their life. We should be hearing about programs that empower youth. Skilled jobs like carpentary etc They are the future generation and using them for poltical activties in both parties is wrong and selfish by the “adults”. Youth should be used and encouraged to develop Zambia. These activties do not cultivate their future.

  32. Chiluba can contribute to Zambia in a more peaceful way like KK. There is so much charity work to do in the country that does not involve politics. He has to accept he is no longer the President of Zambia and let go. Let RB and it’s opposition parties continue their politics. Please leave the youth alone. Educate them…these old polticians in their youthful days were allowed to build their lives. Give these youth the same opportunities and teach them skills that cultivate peace in the country.

  33. Let them bakaipone ! Sometimes it helps to have a fight once in a while afterall we all learn thru mistakes if they beat you once the second time you win because probably this time kutola amabwe ,it is all about the strategy.Bless them.:d

  34. #37 Question:

    Good point. But you make me look back and see where we have come from as a country. Something happened during the “One Party Participatory Democracy” era. Every time KK was coming to town, we were forced to leave school and go and line-up on the streets to sing songs of solidarity and wave chisokone-chisokone… Well, we learnt that waving chisokone-chisokone was more important than being in class.

    And do you know the people who made us do that? It was the UNIP guys, William Banda, Rupiah Banda, Michael Sata, etc. And do you know the people sending the youth to Luapula instead of school? William Banda, Rupiah Banda, Michael Sata. They are all students of the UNIP academy.

  35. William do not bring mufumbwe confusion in luapula, i hope you are having crocodile smile to Chiluba your enemy.

  36. William Banda is bringing insanity to our country, he was better off in Malawi where he had been deported ealier. This ***** is an intulubundu to our country. He has no good intention for the people and he needs to be stopped, he is taking the law in his own hands and I really wonder when the cadres became the security guards for the president and the former heads of state. What his ***** is doing is totally unacceptable and I wonder why the police have been keeping quiet on this bombo klat!

  37. William Banda is a sick guy. Is it his responsibility to protect presidents? Anyway this shows how low MMD has gone.

  38. #41 You have a point. One remembers those long lines and scorching heat… waiting for the sirens and a white handkerchief. Despite certain flaws in UNIP, one can give KK some credit on educating the Zambian youth. After “chisokone-chisokone”… the youth always had a job, national service, school, technical skill, training and sports activities. This new tactic of encouraging them to be political kaponyas is not right. Where is the social reponsibility of making a structure in the Zambian lifestyle that keeps the youth occupied with productive life skills?

  39. Just like the failed impeachments you kept announcing, typical of PF Kaponyalism with the Post you have been announcing plans of sending in 200 kaponyas to Mansa for violence. The Post has run editorials on it for a complete week while Sata, Kabimba, Kambwili and Chanda have been cheating themselve with announcements every day. Here is the day, again naiminyela game. Zambians are up to crash you. The investment conference opened today to thunderous citizenry. Now mesmerized, and helpless you are just f.a.t.t.i.ng hot air online.

  40. All PF trolls here Kambongolo & Chitapankwa , Wanzelu & others,

    You who are calling on assassinations. Against your wish of killing MMD leaders which has become a norm amongst you PF ng’wang’wazis, be advised that we the patriotic citizens have overwhelming capacity to summariry kill anyone in your tuntemba so called pact. We can get at anyone at any time with much easy even leaving you headless. Do not take restraint and respect for democracy as a weakness.Actually its very easy to get down any of those cankerworms you call your called leaders than those you are calling for their assassination.

  41. If development is the main topic, why the need to send cadres from outside Luapula? Let’s call it as it is, PF and MMD cadres will start a war in Luapula – whatever little that the people have in Luapula will be taken away by these short-sighted politicians. There is one thing that’s being ignored, Luapula people are not push-overs and can sort out these shameless invaders. If this is the way both parties think they will gain Luapula, then it will be a superficial victory. Bottom line, Luapula has been neglected for eons, going there with violent hoards of cadres will put an end to any hopes for including Luapula on the Zambian map for development.

  42. # 47 mwalifulwa this is the kind of Zambia you want killing each other????? # 41 you have said the truth.

    If AlaaBee does not do anything about this I can see my Beloved country heading for war I think it’s high time I evacuated my family. nshilemona bwino kuti bakwipaila ulupwa ifpuba fi BAND WILE

  43. Zambia is slowly and possibly irreversibly degenerating into a warfare at the hands of Rupiah Banda. What exactly has gone wrong? In an election, there is a winner and a loser. Now I know that those in govt have read the writing on the wall indicating of an eminent loss come 2011. Thus the desperation to cause confusion in the nation. We will not end at nothing. Titus Chiluba and Rupiah Banda and associates will be brought to justice for as long as they live. RB can not just adopt old timer’s tacts of maiming citizens in order to remain in power. That blood being spilt now cannot drain until those causing its spillage get drained. Time will tell.

  44. 200 PF cadres vs 250 MMD cadres, so is the fighting starting tomorrow? Hope there wont be any cadres masquarading as soldiers in uniform driving a ka small tank………..

    When Mwanawasa gate crashed at he G20 meeting, G20 security intercepted and sent him back to Zambia on the next flight. You don’t gate crash serious business meetings when you have no invitation to your name.

    PATRIOT.
    IS THIS A MMD MEETING OR A PUBLIC MEETING?
    WHO IS PAYING FOR THE MEETING?
    IS ZAMBIA A FREE COUNTRY?
    Nobody is a gate crasher at a public taxayer funded meeting.

  46. By the way who is William Banda? Is he the Home affairs minister or minister of defence? Kwena ba Mbuya mwalipunama? We don’t know who is running the country now pantu bamukolwe bafula. Can I suggest that we send William Banda back to Malawi? I think this is the reason why Kapufi deported him to Malawi. That guy alibe nzeru. He is old and out of his mind. Easterners you have failed to lead the country. This was your chance to prove yourselves but you have completely failed. We need a Southerner or a Northerner now. Bumuzungu wanga has killed and finished you. People need change and it is coming. Sending Party cadres to Luapula wont benefit you in anyway it will only tell you how unpopular MMD has become in the province.

  47. The best thing that patriotic Zambians can do to avoid the consequences of the signs of violence we are seeing is to ask the UN to take over Zambia until the politicians become mature then can the elections take place. We cannot allow politicians to burn Zambia and Zambia does not belong to politicians but to Zambians. No violence in Zambia in Jesus name. God fearing Christians need to pray and repent on behalf of the sins of the politicians. Sometime back even some sangoma’s were brought in the country such practises open doors . It’s time to repent 2 chronicles 7 :14

    “Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Party launched”

    I think you should apologise to the thousands of children suffering for this disorder. You see sometimes talking too much can make you say things that hurt innocent people. These are children who are not happy about their situation and adding this insult to them makes you look even more careless than one can be. A person who have children and is normal cannot do what you just did. If you want to see how teachers and the children are struggling with this problem, you ‘d not inject their suffering in this foolish Zambian politics. It is like those people who went about laughing and mocking handicapped people. What a careless thing to do. This is why I talk about maturity in some of you ppl. Youshould be ashamed.

  49. suffering for … I meant from.

    Sometimes it holves me to see such big people like you ba mudala behaving the way you have been behaving here on this blog. What will it take for you to realise that you are grown and you need to behave as such? Politics aside, there’s also what is called maturity and wisdom. Yes, we all know that you have a problem with the opposition. Yes we all know that you have to front your employer, but when it comes to children and women, I believe you should try to control yourself. So far on this blog, what do you think people have learnt from you? Don’t you think at times you can just keep quiet and people will respect as such? We all get excited, but if the excitement goes over board, it is foolishness. We are all fair game, but children, Oh NO.

  50. # 57 the current President of Zambia is Kafupi the thief, Sily Wily Charles fimofimo and all the MMD Caders Big Bwezani is on Holyday on the Beach

  51. Father Bwalya should attend these meetings, thats where the red cards would be more suitable, flash them at cadres who are not following rules of combat. For example if a PF cadre is unable to wield a chwama-matchet that would warrant a red card, equally an MMD cadre needs to be flashed one if he can NOT move a man of Mr Sata’s size from point A to point B ‘by air’
