MMD chairperson for information and publicity Dora Siliya has said the conduct of Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata at funerals is very irritating because he always seeks to attract wide political attention and presence in disrespect for the mourners.
But Mr Sata said he did not want to say anything on the matter because it was trivial but would only comment on serious matters affecting the nation.
Ms Siliya, who is Eductaion minister, said she expected elderly statesmen to be sombre and extend a heart of respect and maturity to the mourners and to the younger persons.
Ms Siliya said she had come across some mails from lawyers who were displeased with Mr Sata’s conduct at the funeral of the late Supreme Court justice Peter Chitengi.
She urged Zambians not to vote for the PF leader in next year’s elections to protect the image of the country because governance was a serious undertaking, which did not require people like Mr Sata.
Ms Siliya said the refusal by Chief Justice Ernest Sakala to shake hands with Mr Sata had been blown out of proportion.
She said it was common knowledge that Mr Sata canvasses for the attention of mourners by throwing his political weight around, instead of being humble for both the mourners and the dead.
Ms Siliya said the death of anyone brings emotions to close relatives, former workmates and relatives who get affected but Mr Sata made sure that he attracted their attention.
She said all Zambians should condemn attacks on the judiciary because it was an attack on the people of Zambia.
Ms Siliya said on several occasions, Mr Sata had sought to undermine important office holders like the chief justice in the name of politics.
Demands on the chief justice to apologise are unrealistic because Mr Sata and the chief justice are traditional cousins except that Mr Sata went beyond limits.
[ Times of Zambia ]
Fackin bitch, Sata is old enough to be your father.
More like the Chief Justice’s behaviour at funerals is sickening!
jealousy that is the word. The man is a crowd puller even at funerals
Iwe Chi Siliya ulechindika abakulu. Tawakwata umuchinshi. Just shut up! :-$ Atase!
Smart Silly,are those reasons of not voting for someone????
Mother ****er and kabolala iwe chisiliya why not advise yo old fashioned mmd cadre, chief justice Sakala nyongo who behaved like a kaponya right in church without shame.
Chi Dora Fu sek. Ulekwata umuchinshi!
Who can talk advise from this grumpy woman? A real b!tch. The time she was emissary in Egypt would come to Chingola to b!tch with Richard Kazala.
Dora cant respect sata, she sleeps with his agemate presdo
I like the song,Amahule,Amahule.
#1 to 7 fi colour fyenu!
Dora walasa mwandi, all dis pipo talking ill of you are interested in their own gains than that of the greater nation
But Ba PF supporters can Insult, but for # 10, everybody else is insulting heavily. Is this what will come with PF Insults.
Were did people learn all these insults.
Is she telling us that RB is worth being a president and should be voted for when he has even gone to an extent of scolding doners. Think woman! Don’t make a full of yourself.
Rightly said..indeed Sata likes attracting attention from g’wa g’wazi supporters.
u f**king nigas, go to hell wit yr Chi Satan..! f*ols.
I meant fool of course
Dora sure how can you undermine a president like this! Kanshi mwe maule ninshi tamwakwatila umucinshi?
1-7, shame on you, your blind loyalty to a senile old man is your down fall, look around you do you honestly see success, if you do, then be careful with such limited reasoning that is the highest you will go. A leader does not need to seek publicity especially in time of mourning, that behaviour can only be likened to that of a mad man. stop this hero worshiping, its embarassing.
#11 megatron- WHAT HAVE YOU GOT YOURSELF – HAS DORA ALLOWED YOU TO DIP YOURS INTO HER PIT?
# 13betters- I AM NOT PF AND WILL NEVER BUT DORA IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSON TO CONDEMN ANY ONE INCLUDING SATA
Mwati does Dora know who the real Sata is? He will just mess your life with matusiii, Zedians know what makes you tick so dont push it. There is nothing wrong with greeting abantu at funerals and if someone took offence how does that affect your life? Learn to zip up mwana.
Does everything have to be politicised. From shaking hands to attaracting attention at funerals, the slogan dont vote for them always has to come up. What has anything she has mentioned got to do with voting next year?? This is what i call a blabber mouth. Is Dora married by any chance?? The comments of her sleeping with RB will anger her hubby….oh and Thandiwe.
I said if only Justice Sakala(in bemba this means thief) only extended his hand to Micheal-all this no sense would not be there, Sata is quite about it,Justice Sakala is quite about it but please brothers why are you insulting each other,,why should siliya’s statemement make you hate one another….
There is no such word in the Chibemba language. It is Copperbelt slang, for lack of a better term. It originated in Mufulira in the 1960s, with William Sakala, who called himself Sakalanyongo. Sakala and his friends were pick-pockets. You do not want to bring all Sakalas in disrepute. I feel strongly that a funeral should not be used for politiking.
Kwena pali basapota baba sata paliba ifisele yaaaaa awe ilyo mukengila mu plot 1 ninshi lwanya tatwakulalanda tukose nokukosa. Kaponya mu state house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#18 Uncle Frank _ YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS a blind follower. What has MMd done since RB took over. All they have been good at is manipulate the police and judges to rescue thieves from prosecution. Dora deserves no respect atall. May be she is your relative? Are you Frank Mutubila or just another Frank?
#23 True – like leader like cader – like father like sone!
This Hule is the one who is irritating us now, she has annointed herself to be Justice sakala’s spokesperson. In short she is absorbing Disgraced Chief Justice’s conduct. Let Sakala answer for himself. There was no tribal cousinship there.
When you DORA was sleeping with Kazala in Chingola was that tribal cousinship!!! Ata dont bore us with empty political statements to get attention yourself to win support from out going NyamaSoya.
Why is it that all the people who are supporting CJ Sakala are from Eastern province in govt, those holding high profile positions and they are using govt controlled media times, daily mail and ZNBC? The point that Doris is missing is that on any funeral whether in Zambia or foreign countries whenever , you attend the funeral you are by our custom suppose to greet those who have arrived earier than you as the sign of respect to the dead and we are required to bury our differences at that moment.Those who are thinking sata always want to use the funeral for show off you are mistaken or have forgotten the funeral customs.Whatever has happened Bemba -Ngoni cousinship will not suffer but flourish as it as always been.Politics will pass but our traditional common values will survive.
Why is everyone referring to Dora as ihule?? Isnt she allowed to have different relationships like most of us blogging?? Just becasue she is a politiian doesnt mean she must be celibate. eat when you are hungry eat!
Yes indeed,Sata acts irresponsibly in public because he wants to steal the limelight but there was no need for a whole Chief Judge to refuse a handshake especially in public. People now cannot tell who the fool is between the two because they acted irresponsibly,Sata shouldn’t be going round shaking hands when a funeral procession is just about to start and he’s late and the Chief Justice should have accepted the handshake,it was not abut being traditional cousins or that the CJ thought it was not right to greet at that time but he the CJ said ”since when” that is the cache,it means he has some beef with Sata so they are both guilty of misconduct in public.
Sakala should be blamed for the all nonsense. How do you behave in such a way at the funeral! Thats washing dirty linen in public! If elders of his stature and high standing in society can behave in such a way, how are we, the young at heart going to learn from them? My parents and tradition tells me to be meek at funnerals and probably be at peace with those who have wronged me in the past. The best policy, by the way, is to avoid someone you hate. the best would have been to greet our president and you avoid further intafacing.
Lol!!! ati ba Frank Mutubila….=))=)) nga abena Ben Kangwa bali kwi? Awe sure ZNBC yaleta akantu.=))=))
#25 you can’t even spell cadre & son correctly, i dnt blame u anyway, i blame RB & Friends for misusing Donor funds which would have helped people like in the education sector!
Ghostrider #28 u say or ask:
Why is everyone referring to Dora as ihule?? Isnt she allowed to have different relationships? The answer is she want to protray a holier image and chief defender of MMD destruction when she is in public potfolio and has no morals. This annoys us like Shikapwasha’s comments. Thats where the problem lies. At least ka Mulongoti has gone quite or is he sick!! Lol
Already she was insulted by Mrs kazala for trying to trying to rekindle her love afetr the RP capital payment. So we shall denounce her, wait for the PACT to winso many things will be revealed, just wait.
Dora has spoken – but alas, all she spoke was rubbish and nonsens!
We really have dirty politics in Zambia, everything has to be politicized,even petty issues, What is wrong with shaking the hands of mourners, we always do that whenever we attend funerals!
Often timez, a funeral bringz together family memberz and friendz who rarely gather in day-to-day life. Consequently, thoze family memberz and friendz use the opportunity to greet, mingle and chat among themselvez. I remember people including myself, shaking handz with Dr. Kaunda outside the Cathedral during the funeral of a prominent businessman and distinguished Zambian in April. How doez that natural and human behaviour become “irritating” according to Dora Siliya?
#32 I am a Kaunda era chap by way of schooling, way before MMD came on the scene… 🙂 Nice spotting though and for your own info, it does not reflect on my educational background as well as the professional one!
can someone tell that w.h.o.r.e to keep quiet
only maureen kakubo mwanawasa knows how to handle satana chase him from the funeral. remember sata failed to attend funeral for his son chilufya. sata is a sick old man we can forgive him. senility has set in behaves like a child
those calling dora names are the ones who have dirty minds and their wives are whores. how else do you call someone a bitch unless if you have slept with her. respect dora for once she is a successful younglady you just jealousy of her education beauty and brains. can your compare your wives to dora. look at your wife and look at dora. she cant open her powerful legs for your dirty dicks
lets respect funerals imwe ba pf you are so foul mouthed. is that the kind of leadership we expect from you. no wonder you always lose. insele now you have even contaminated hichilema hakainde and upnd as you compete for who insults most between pf na upnd. zambians are not going to eat insults. zambians want schools, hospitals, food, roads, jobs and thats what mmd is doing. king cobra we can forgive him he is an oldman our shikulu
You guys who are busy insulting in these colums, telling than Dora ule kwata umuchinshi, nga imwe umuchinshi uli kwi? Please people stop insulting, This colom is not interesting because it is geting out of hand where people are just insulting. Be true christians do onto others as you want them to do unto you. Please Lusaka Times, if this the place to insult it is beter you close this collum. UMUSA LULA WACHILAMO!
# 33 – Thanks Mpangula Mputyu, just wanted to know the facts surrounding this word always associated with Dora. Its always good to ask before i comment on the same. Yes she has no morals then, coz she is after married men. It would be different if the married men were after her! Chiwoneka mushe??
#42 chile you are right on if this is a forum for insults then lusaka times need to revisit or close the facility. let someone read b4 you publish. this isnt healthy and its what we expect from pf if we had to allow them to rule they will climb hills to insult everyone who dare oppose them. ba shikapwasha is this the media freedom you talk about just insults. lets respect our leaders dont take advantage of dora bcos of gender
Please people, mail has no plural, and for the education minister to be breaking english like this is unforgivable. Either she came across emails or letters, not mails. And these butchering of english is increasing at an alarming rate. I have come across text message words in official correspondence. We need to sort out our literacy levels, and fast.
Now to the matter at hand. Both guys showed extreme immaturity, the CJ for not greeting Sata (and implying that they have never greeted before, so why start now?) and Sata for behaving like a complete moron. It was a funeral, sit your azz down! The way he was standing implies arrogance.
i have no respect for Dora and never will but insulting her is not right,however calling her a hule is not a problem if that’s what she is. what irritates me most about this ***** called Dora is that she thinks we don’t know what she is or what she did and her mouthing makes me even sick. every time she speaks she vomits. she has contributed to the suffering of most Zambians. this is why even students didn’t want her to be minister of education. she’s a disgrace. she dead scared that she is gonna go back to court if the pact wins election. i don’t support Sata but what the chief justice did cannot be defended by any sane person.
They is time for everything,time to mourning,time for laughing,time to born,time to die
etc
Ba Sata takes things always “mucimbuya and kulibonesha ta” and try to attract attention of his presences.This was good for him(Sata), gain political mileage whenever he went for a funeral.
On a serious note, Hon Petauke MP Minister-less Dora Siliya’s “MMD chairperson for information and publicity Dora Siliya has said the conduct of Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata at funerals is very irritating because he always seeks to attract wide political attention and presence in disrespect for the mourners” is a good analysis of Mr PF and a good number of PF Bemba Speaking Kaponyas.
Zambians witnessed Mr PF/MC Sata’s terrible behaviour at late President LP Mwanawasa’s funeral where then first lady M Mwanawasa taught him manners but alas the very old Bemba Speaking BISA-man, PF unelected leader, MC Sata has continued to fail to respect mourners at any funeral gathering. Mr Sata MC also fails to respect the Church and church ground.
Be blest all.

Let your PF leader Michael Sata to set a precedence by going to apologise to the chiefs he insulted “I will put up electricity if you vote me as president”,sata said.”mukaletina bwino inda ubushiku”,this is a big insult,Sata should tone down his language.PF can see it as right thing coming from their HERO.Shame upon you.Put your house(PF) inorder.Remove a big log in your eye,before attemping to remove a small log in your friend’s eye.Sata’s conduct generally has not been good.
“Umu Bemba tatekwa”,”No tribe can rule a Bemba in Zambia”.Sata said.As far as lam concern all tribes are equall in Zambia,but Sata wants to promote tribalism.Go back to the pass history of Sata’s statements,believe me you, can not dire him to be a President.
“kulibone shata”. makes Sata a laughing stock.”Icimbuya kumalilo”.Once beaten twice shy.Sata’s mouth piece (Given Lubinda) was equally embarassed by his boss’s behaviour.
iwe chi hule chi siliya jus shut up !! take yo stinking NINI to bwezani
Comedy and looks very humble as seek a passport to entry to STATE HOUSE as PRESIDENT.But the language he uses to the peoples he is mandate to “I will put up electricity if you vote me as president”,sata said.”mukaletina bwino inda ubushiku”,this is a big insult,Sata should tone down his language
imwe bantu, if someone greets you, why should you refuse? if sata was told in advance that the justice will not accept his greeting, he would not have dared to greet the chief justice. sata did that because he was not warned before! but honestly speaking, our chief justice was not fair enough! he could have just shaken his hands with sata!:-?
#45
Are you sure mail has no plural? I just checked Encarta Dictionary for verification and in brackets there is plural mails.Which English has mail with no plural?
Dora iwe if Moses had seen your face, there would have been another commandment, you really need to have a license to be that ugly and you are actually depriving a village somewhere of an i.d.i.o.t.
zambian chief justice is just another african ***** and stupid fool man.
zambian chief justice is just another african ***** and stupid man.
Is there no better and more important subjects to talk about than this nonsense surely[-(
56 Yaba you have made my day. Dollar, if I say shut up B1tch, its unfair to dogs but let me say Shut up sw1ne, becausethat is a cusred animal
Sta is a savage, a clown and a dangerous one, at that. I have attended several funerals where he has misbehaved badly – always so showy, arrogant, insulting. Didn’t he learn some manners when he was a child? He hasn’t changed his UNIP/MMD days. Voting for Sata is just as good as reelecting the MMD into power once more.
Iwe chi solola ,thats your father ,Have manners,
To have him as number one at STATE HOUSE,we will be receiving insults , the language he uses to the peoples he is seeking mandate to “I will put up electricity if you vote me as president”,sata said.”mukaletina bwino inda ubushiku”,

I did not want to comment on this one but only enjoy reading the comment from other bloggers. But i want you to clarify on the beauty you’ve seen in ba Dora for us to be jealous. What part of her body attracts you so much? To some of you anything in a skirt is beatiful and fit to lust on, thats why you rape amashilu and little girls.
the last time i checked it was our custom to greet each other at funerals,anyway i dont know maybe iam the one who is still trapped in the old ways.On Dora,i dont know why you bloggers are insulting each other,pliz stop it,for it’s not necessary and personally Dora right now is not really the right person to talk about this for obvious reasons regardless whether she is right or not,my fellow bloggers pliz take it easy “dont insult each other,PEACE”
On “But Mr Sata said he did not want to say anything on the matter because it was trivial but would only comment on serious matters affecting the nation,” this is good and I hope the serious matters affecting the Nation Mr PF/Sata MC is referring to include that the UPND president and presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema (HH) will be supported by Mr Sata MC to become the 2011 PF-UPND PACT presidential candidate since the PF and UPND are two equal strength political parties in the PF-UPND PACT according to the Memorandum of Understanding they signed which must see to it that PF continues to have many MPs in Parliament who should always check would-be President of Zambia HH if he takes over from the MMD Administration as government leader after next year’s elections…
To all confused characters on Mr PF/Sata MC’s behaviour and the over-retirement-age Chief justice Enerst Sakala scene, be informed that the scenario of handshake refusal took place in a church and not at a funeral house. The correct place for Mr PF/Sata MC to have sought a greeting in form of a handshake was outside the church before or after the church funeral procession.
Therefore, there is no need to insult Minister-less Hon MP Dora Siliya or any other Zambian or foreigner over this Chief Justice-Sata MC scenario on grounds that you salivate over Dora Siliya’s body or name. It is also possible that those who insult Dora Siliya about her possible immoral-alleged-behaviour are just bitter because she rejected their lust for her body at some point.
Exercise restraint.

If government spokespeople spoke sense, I’d pay attention. But this lousy w.H.o.RE has continued to have nightmares because of the PACT. Lets hear encouraging statements like, schools will be well-equipped to enable students do well, not dont vote for PF dont vote for HH etc. Ma labishi.
#53, 63 – I saw that and just wondered that at this stage somebody who wants to be president can say something like that. Zambia should never allow such a demented human being to run the country. And may this be an opportunity to teach the young generation that if you want to lead, try to exude some decency.
Sata is dirty man without morals.dora is a b1ch and has no morals and is in danger of being sent to prison on rp capital case sooon coming. Cj sakala is a liability to the justice system. All three characters under discussion are a curse to our great nations.
# 68 You must be confused,! who tells you that you cant greet someone in church? Dont blog under the influence of cannabis !
Today on Radio Phoenix, Dora Siliya defended the sale of Zamtel giving the following reasons:
1) Zamtel was surviving on tax payers’ money
2) Only the 2,060 Zamtel employees were benefiting from this tax
3) Money saved by selling will be used to build extra schools
My Answers to the above:
1) Dora’s government owed Zamtel billions of Kwacha and had this GRZ paid Zamtel, no tax money was going to be channeled to this company.
2) Contrary to Dora’s assertions that selling Zamtel will easy the countries financial problems, the opposite is a fact- half this figure will lose their jobs and I don’t think this will solve our financial problems.
3) If the government did not fail to pay Zamtel, it was going to use the tax money to build schools if they atall cared to so…
