UPND youth who attended PF rally in Solwezi advise Sata to withdraw from race

United Party for National Development (UPND) youths in North-Western Province have urged Mr Sata to withdraw from the presidential race because of his failing health.?

Provincial youth chairperson Victor Lumayi said yesterday that judging from the manner the PF leader spoke at the rally in Solwezi on Tuesday, it was clear that he was unwell.

?“I attended the rally and I think that Mr Sata’s supporters should accept that he is unwell. Most of us who attended the rally can testify that he did not look too well even from the way he was speaking. The best would be to ask him to step aside,” he said.

Mr Sata only spoke for about 20 minutes and ordered that the national anthem be sang, signalling the end of the rally.

He said he had gone to Solwezi because some people were spreading rumours that he was sick and could not stand.

“I’m not sick, those saying so are just lying,” Mr Sata said. The PF leader arrived at the Solwezi showgrounds at 15:50 hours and immediately the audience was led into singing the national anthem, after which some provincial leaders were introduced to the crowd.

After short remarks by Mr Sata’s campaign manager Willie Nsanda, a Chanda Kasolo and Samuel Mukupa, the PF leader was called to address the expectant crowd.

And some civil society organisations have said Mr Sata’s family is not being fair by allowing him to contest the presidential polls when his health was failing.

?Forum for Leadership Search (FLS) and Leadership in Development (LID) have both advised Mr Sata to withdraw from the campaigns for the sake of his health.?

FLS executive director Edwin Lifwekelo said the PF members should ask their president to take leave to avoid risking his health further.

“Campaigns are very stressful and in his current state of health he will not manage. This is why he could only manage to stand for only 20 minutes and ended the rally in Solwezi.

“This is unsual for Mr Sata and those that are forcing him to contest the presidency are pushing him too much,” Mr Lifwekelo said.?

LID executive director Moses Kalonde said Mr Sata should not just vie for presidency to please some people at the expense of his health.

    • Ba YAYA,you want sata to heed whose call,tell the ever sleepy guy we see on TV,not our energetic president who travels by road not CHOPPER.Watch your advise my youth.MBOKOYA

  1. Lifwekelo, chifire yabanyokola njala, they know that sata is winning..useless comment and for you false UPND members tell HH to withdraw because no chance for him..VIVA PABWATO GO SATA GO…Source times of Banda

  2. This is cheap propaganda by MMD, Its too late to manouver, go Sata, Go PF, they are just usind UPND this time around, but we all know its MMD at work, foolish, we in Solwezi have decided to go for change through PF.

  3. Even if this infor is from Times of Zambia, the message is true.This man can not lead the country even if he was well.Now that he is sick but does not want to admit its unfortunate.I wonder how some sane zambians keep on pushing him, does it mean there are no capable people in ZAMBIA?

  4. How cheap can people be? If any of you traveled a lot within a short space of time, would you feel 100%. Please let’s be realistic and very serious. The man’s health is now number one talk? Hahahahaha. I smell panic. UPND should tell HH to withdraw because even if he’s a good guy, he can’t win on national level. FACT!  

  5. Who the hell cares what “UPND youth” advises Sata to do? Times of Banda. Tell HH to withdraw, he’s an amateur

  6. victor lumayi have you done an HIV test?? how many health people have died and left Sata standing Sata will be the last man to STAND!!! watch your dirty mouth you fool if he dies let him die you mbo…….lo swine

    • This coming from Times of Rupiah i doubt. What is the concern of lifwelo and chifire we all know
      that they have never liked sata they would rather see him dead, does this mean that they are scared of sata?

  7. VIVA SATA VIVA PF, YOU ARE THE RIGHT MAN AT THE MOMENT.OTHERS CANT SEE THE AILMENT OF THEIR PRESIDENTS BUT ONLY YOURS BECAUSE YOU ARE THE MOST FEARED AND BIGGEST THREAT TO SORT THEIR DIRTY DEALS.VOTE MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA FOR PRESIDENT.

  8. #2 I can see your PF dying very soon. Because you guys have made it a personal-to-holder. This man is not well, then if he collapses don’t burn the country suspecting foul play, because its typical PF mentality. You have been warned. Its going to be a funeral on 20 th September not a victory party. And please live with it.

  9. Ok politics aside and humanity forward!watever sata is sufferin from I don’t but it’s true he doesn’t look too well.just looking at him says alot of things about his health and it’s only fair for those who care for him to advise him!

  10. If its true about the health of Mr.Sata then it is  better the big man to keep his life than loose it for no reward. 

  11. sata is winning whether lifwekelo likes it or not. You people should not be petty in the you analyse issues. Just concetrate on campaigning for your RB and leave our SATA alone. HH cant win achepa umwaiche ni contest ya bakalamba. Lufwekelo gow up. sata 4 state house

  12. Mazoka,Levy,FTJ were being the same things but did not heed people’s advise.Every sane Zambian knows that Sata is a patient,thats the ugly and bitter truth.

  13. UPND are chancers and want to gain on a death of a person. They are so scared of Sata and the more reason why this Lumayi went to the PF rally. They are expecting Sata to die so that they provide competition to MMD but UPND is finished and we shall ensure that they go back where they belong and that’s Southern Province.

  14. Whether pathetic failures (pf) buffoons accept this news or not, the fact that people are questioning Sata’s health is not good for the party. I remember earlier this year, when it was reported that RB had started to excersise , pf buffoons posted derisory comments. If you look at RB now ,he is much slimmer than he was and more agile than the snake. PF must be in a quandary now, the more Satan campaigns, then more people will see for themselves that his health is failing and the hectic campaign schedule itself will add to his ill health. However, if Sata is not seen out and about, then rumours about him being ill in bed re-surface again. Oh, how I pity  putrid flesh (pf) die-hard supporters such as Kalos 2121 the machete wielding interahamwe from Ushiland!

  15. Bane icibemba citila ati apakomaila nondo ninshi pali ubulema. Let the big man use this wise words and put to rest his ambitions. This is our nature to get sick and eventually die. When people see a mini life in a person they get woried and advise what steps to take.

  16. We cant have a couple both suffering from heart disease at State House.

  17. Sata’s health should not be policised coz anyone can die anytime.Only God as the author and finnisher of our faith knows who will go(die)first.After all we will all die some day. Sickness does not mean death. I know some MMD leaders who have been ill for a long time and are still serving in GRZ. Let’s discuss national development and not people’s health cz if KK is in hospital in foreign land…Cheap MMD politics!!!

  18. President Sata is very health and so ok. These are just politicts
    Come 21st September Sata is winning!!!!!!!!!!!

    VIVA SATA VIVA PF

  19. But is this RB propaganda so desperate…..insinuations and wishing our leader ill health is desperate and un Zambian… Ni pa BWAAAAAAAAAAA TO. our Noah of today is SATA

  20. WHETHER SATA IS SICK OR EVEN DEAD (God forbid), WE ARE STILL VOTING HIM IN AND THIS CORRUPT MMD CHAPS OUT. CHIKUBABE CHIKUBABE! THIS LIFWEKELO CHAP IS JUST HUNGRY AND IN A STATE OF PANIC….WANYA MAMBALA, YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!

    VIVA SATA ABASH MMD/UPND PROPAGANDA, MWACHEPA BOTH OF YOU PUT TOGETHER!!

  21. But why is this RB propaganda so desperate…..insinuations and wishing our leader ill health is desperate and un Zambian… Ni pa BWAAAAAAAAAAA TO. our Noah of today is SATA

  22. PF kaponyas must hear what other people are saying about your leader. Every one who went their told us SATA is sick. There is no other words to divert from the reality that PF leader is sick. How serious it is, is yet to be known very soon. He odes not want to withdraw, let him be at his house and use radio stations to campaign for him. Very soon, the story will be different. viva 20HHH. At his funeral, HH will assist his relatives. UPND failed to field 12 and PF 39 seats.

  23. choipa chisatamwine..#.. Your talking is so rubish. You think zambian are so dull that even dead people can contest the elections. who is SATA after all. He is just standard 4 old man. if he dies who cares let him die, he is making alot of noise in our country.. the day this man will die,  alot of people will celebrate more than we celebrated chiluba….!! viva 20HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..

    • YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER STUPID FOOLISH FELLER WHO HAS NEVER STEPPED IN JUST A SIMPLE CLASSROOM OF YOUR OWN VILLAGE.THOSE TINS OF CHIBUKU YOU DRINK IN THE COMPOUND AND MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE HEALTH IS A MISLEAD.IF YOU DONT DIE ON THE 20TH SEPTEMBER WITH A RUDE SHOCK, IAM SURE HEVENS WILL OPEN SILLY CHAP.

    • It’s a pity that you still refer to standard 4 as a measure of a man who has caused so much ripples on the Zambian political scene, mwaume sana! To me he may have been formally in a classroom till standard 4 but his acquired wisdom and political acumen is way beyond the classroom level  

    • carless talk kizito. who do think u ar. u ar nt even a learned person. leav sata alone wether u lik it or nt wil put him into power mwapya bamambala u wil die of depression wenkokowe nayo iya loni

    • Dear 34#. Thats an oxmoron. You cannot love to see someone to die on one hand, and quote scripture on the other hand. Its not wise to mock God, so don’t get too carried away, my friend. These are just politics.

  24. Let us be careful as we call others sick, our lives are in the hands of God and there are a lot of sick people in other political parties but because they are not a factor they cant talk about them.Leave our SATA alone and tell the zambian people what you willl do for them rather than talking about our president.VIVA SATA VIVA PF PABWATO,MWAMUKOLO!

  25. I said it yesterday let UPND say something negative about Sata so they can be heard and remind the people they are around…… At-least we know the Under-five Party Naturally Dead(UPND)’s bones are still around

  26. Ale bane Nangu tamufwaya ukusumina ulya umuntu mulwelwe Evn the blind can see!by the way it’s js a metaphor don’t mean to insult my brothers and sisters!sata is d 1hu likes to comment on pipoz illnesses!Milo ku mwinilunga tapali nefyo alandile,baletukafye Rb nokwimba national anthem chapwa!umulwelwe mulwelwe mufuna simufuna!pankoloko forever(pf)!

  27. Prophets of doom, just leave the PF leader alone and let him liberate zambia from the poverty and corruption, even Jesus DIED for the peoples’ sake. But the truth is MMD is using cheap & desperate compaigns. FACT is SATA is well and will form govt come 20th September, 2011. We shall then watch the sickness of Goerge Kunda. VIVA SATA

  28. They have seen how the old man has gained ground and started talking only issues,so they are panicking… 33 days to go count down..

  29. Lufwekelo is an HIV patient,UPND can even attend SATA’s rallies this is interesting to know that PF is very Popular Party and this year is the year of celebrations.no amount of propaganda will change people’s resolve.these guys are chimbwiz ,Times of Zambia Daily mail papers of black colonialists oppressors. 

  30. Manengu wa kikaonde…#… stupid *****, you are not in zambia…!! who told you in Solwezi will vote for this rotten Teeth old standard 4 man of yours called SATA. there is no way north-western province can think of sata as their leader.. You must just stick to Bemba people who can vote for the dead body because he is a Bemba not other tribes man. we are burrying sata this year for good..!!!

  31. UPND cadres and MMD Vuvuzela’s are wrong chaps to advise PF especially that both parties are participating in the tripartite elections.

  32. @KIZITO, YES ZAMBIANS ARE VERY DULL EXCEPT PF SUPPORTERS….DIDNT YOU VOTE FOR A VILLAGER JUST RECENTLY WITH NO PLANS WHATSOEVER?? WHAT DIFFERENCE IS THERE IN VOTING FOR A TIRED FARMER AND A DEAD MAN?? U WENT AHEAD & VOTED FOR LEVY WHO WAS MEDICALLY DECLARED DEAD AND REJECTED BRAINY ANDY MAZOKA….IS THAT NOT EVIDENCE ENOUGH THAT YOU ARE DULL ESPECIALLY YOU KIZITO? GO TO HELL WITH YOUR PhD…YOU ECONOMIC REFUGEE!

  33. #30. You dont have a heart and you are not a ZAMBIAN. UZAPAMBUKA AFTER 30th september, whether you like it or not. SATA is the next president. You dont have manners not even bad ones.

  34. Sats is not the saviour. The Saviour is Jesus.I remember in 1991 you same were saying Chiluba was the saviour. What happened? You know the story. Even Obama, Americans thought he was the saviour and you know what is going on there.Sata is just saying popular slogans to entice you simple minds. In Zambia the economical situation is in the right track.You just have to see the opportunities,then be innovative and competetive.The world today does not allow some polititian to give you money in your pocket. That is a disaster

    • lovely comment. i have said it also one time or another that the Government’s job is not to walk up to your house and stuff money in your pockets but to create an enabling environment where u can use your head and make some buck. PF tin cans falling for *****ic childish promises from delusional sick people baffle me, seriously.

  35. I wonder of what benefit is it to wish Sata death? No matter how much you hate the man it is inhuman and wicked to say he should die.

    In his own way Sata has contributed to national development. Some of you wishing him death have done nothing to deserve the life and health you are proud of. I am not a fan of Sata but those wishing he would die disgust me. Long live Sata! Long live RB! Long live HH!
    Long live Cosmo Mumba! Long live Fred Mmembe!

  36. We had MWANAWASA mhsrip and we all knew that our President was sick but we kept on prodding him to soldier on. What have we gained from our prodding. If SATA is not okay, i would rather he is alive and take up a role as an eldery stateman than see him dead before the election results are all brought in. To MR SATA please i beg you you only have one life and the pipo you have want to ride on your name and dont care about your health. IF YOU ARE SICK REDUCE OR STOP FORCING YOURSELF TO CAMPAIGN BUT IF YOU ARE OKAY GO FOR IT!!!

  37. ##BREAKING NEWS##ANNOUCEMENT BY ESZ
    TO POLITICAL PARTIES
    To avoid unrest as predicted by USA GOVT WE HAVE DECIDED TO LET POLITICAL PARTY SUPPORTER VOTE ON DIFFERENT DAYS
    MMD 20TH SEPT 2011
    PALI FWAKA (PF) 28 th SEPTEMBER 2011
    For other polical parties will announce
    Other polical parties supporters you can still come on the 20 th to jst help out on marking the ballot papers that will remain but on ballot paper mark X where you c rupiah bandaz head by doing so you would have voted him out leave the rest blank

  38. I wonder why PF suporters call this propaganda honestly someone cant jut wakeup and start writting that sata is sick when his not.you sata worshipers you mean theres no one in your party who can take over why are you pushing this man so nishi muchetekela chabe eve so sad his risking his life to please people.oh remember God speaks through people sometimes HE might be telling him to rest.

  39. Bushe hasn’t PF got potential presidential candidates that can take over from Sata???? because I aint voting for no patient…!

  40. It is very heartless for PF cadres to not acknowledge tha fact that the King Cobra is in urgent need of bed rest!!Or is it because of their well known policy of ”Donchi Kubeba”.They need deliverance A.S.A.P!!

  41. Levy is died Chiluba is died HH will die RB will die KK will die so do Sata what we need now is the redeemer in the name of SATA PF PABWATOOOOOOOOOOO

  42. Thank God only less than 6% (about 65,000) of Zambians have access to Internet. And even less visit this site. Because some of the comments are so sickening!

  43. You have to understand that is a ploy to derail the PF campaign. Repeat it more frequently and people will believe it. People get sick all the time. suppose he is not well, then that goes to show how much the man loves his country, if he can travel the corners of the country even when he is dying, which is not true. More over we don’t vote for an individual but the ideology. PF’s ideology is ensuring all Zambians benefit from the wealth of the country, eradicate corruption and build quality infrastructure.
    Whereas Banda and his family are focused on plundering the wealth of the nation as is evidence by his interference in the Chiluba theft case. And Hichilema is a well established thief who stole from the country and is now flaunting the same wealth to the poor.

  44. choipa chisatamwine..#… Let your mother advise you before you can have power to challenge me. I run away after this rotten Teeth Old man called SATA killed Ronald PENZA. This man must die and say bye  before the elections. zambians will be saved from the criminal called SATA with rotten Teeth.

    • Let’s bet…$$$$ that you will drop before this man. Death does not respect anyone, young old, intelligent, idio ots, rich, abject poverty, in hunger or in glutton. Just go vote it out and chill.

  45. nomba nga afwa shikulu,who will be telling kalulu stories to our children? you can even see, that this shikulu sata is a shodow is himselve.sorry maningi sana.

  46. Bafikala mwaba amatole ubukulu whatever ur going to say about sata will not deter him from becoming the nxt republican president and all of you talking trush will rejoice coz the man is practical. people have already voted in there hearts. Wina azalila mwaba amatuya

  47. Those who are asking why the UPND guy went to attaend PF rally by SATA must understand that SATA is an entertainer offering free performance. Why miss the commedy when it has come nearby?
    That is the reason why his rallies are full of people, yet he still loses.
    After losing this year, let him venture into fulltime commedy and team up with Bob Nkosha at play house. That way he will make more money in the pockets for himself.
    So what are we saying?
    We are saying that Victor Lumayi did not get enough entertainment as he normally does, and he attributed the poor perfomance to what he has termed as poor health. The other thing is may be this UPND youth misunderstood him; Sata being a commedian he could have pretended to be unwell as part of the play he was putting up.

  48.  This level of denial by a minority of gullible cadres like the ones who are still calling for Sata to stand is the reason why our country will always be run by recycled and tired politicians. Please, guys think with your heads – not empty stomachs. The old man is unwell. Presidential funerals and bye elections are very costly for a developing country like ours.

  49. Am just suprised by UPND. There fear is PF and Sata. They dont provide any checks to MMD and govt. That is failing to address issues. However, there are making Sata and PFmore popular. UPND has 138seats to fight for. Under 5

  50. Kizito your contributions are worthless,useless,unchristian and unZambian…Even other bloggers against Sata have better things to say than you…SHAME!!!

  51. sata will bring change in 90 days then if he dies he would have done good to zambians.after low he has been ruling out side state house so no need to warry about his short stay at state house and that is if thats what will be.other wise you who wish him dead may die before him who knows?
    state house is not for oneman show.

  52. CONFIRMED,UPND FAILED TO PUT 12 PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES
    CONFIRMED, PF FAILED TO PUT 39 PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES

  53. So if ‘it’s true this man is ailing and just take into account the stressful work of the head of state
    can’t you forsee ichililo nachimbi ku plot one?(i.e another state funeral?) i pity the burden of pal bearers.  

  54. @FINE walasa!the comedy was too short,he might have more money in his pocket after 90 days with bob nkosha,that is after 21/9.

  55. Sata wont heed any advise on his health coz he is puffed up by confidence that he will win this year’s Presidential election no matter what. Even those around him are using him as a winning card. They have no regard for his health. What matters to them is winning political power at all costs.Just wait and see. By the way why cant the CJ constitute a ream of medical doctors to examine all successful presidential candidates to determine their fitness. Its not too late.

  56. Satan will bring change in Zambia in 90 days coz he will die on 22/09/11 & by- election will be held again. This cunt is not wealth living. He was busy laughing on others & keeps on saying kunda red lips but red lips will there next year let this old man die!!

  57. PF is giving MMD a good run for their money(stolen monies) and this good Democracy…..Let’s go SATA !

  58. GO SATA GO PF GO MWAMUKOLO.
    PABWATOOOO!
    VIVA PF VIVA SATA
    VICTORY IS 1000000% FOR PF
    UNDER WHAT ABNORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES SATA IS WINNING.

  59. SATA the only hope for Zambia. Look at the roads they are bosting about, they have just created more dust in the towns. Kaunda constructed more quality roads and he does not boast about them. Only eople with very shallow minds can see the false development the orpotunists are talking about or they are the beneficialies of corrupt systems.

  60. .It is better to give young politicians alot more votes than investing in unprofitable moving corpses. The bright future of any nation depends on vibrant youths.

  61. Mwine mushi- The only time, which all of you are scared of and hence the panic, is the time when you will be caged and this is the time you will know what Sata means for thieves.

  62. IN MWINILUNGA SATA ADDRESSED A THUNDEROUS RALLY, HE WAS ENERGETIC AND THE CROWD WAS ULULATING! WHYHAVEN’T THE DULL EDITORIAL TEAM AT TIMES OF ZAMBIA WRITTEN ABOUT THIS? PYSCHING ZAMBIANS INTO FEAR OF LOSING A PRESIDENT IN STATE HOUSE IS THE BEST UPND CADRES CAN DO TO HELP THERE PRESIDENT SPOIL THE VOTE FOR PF AND ALLOW MMD TO CONTINUE LOOTING OUR WEALTH! VIVA PF!

  63. RB and the MMD, HH, Kavindele, Sekwiba Sikota, Siulapwa, Lifwekelo, Chifire, some sponsored NGOz/political partiez, and the so called public media are all up against 1 M.C Sata, a clear indication that they have realized the great potential the man haz to upset tablez come September, 20. Let us wait and see.

  64. ba mudala nabalwala mwe..Sata can not speak for 20 minutes and give up…thats not the sata we know..can his advises step in please

  65. Mwanya ba MMD, chimbokaila prison is calling, not just thieving politicians like DORA, we shall also lock those criminals posing as high court judges.

  66. Ba CADRE, Ba bula amano nabamba ukututuma apapapene PF talawinako na SEVEN PROVINCES.Tukamifyonona ba MBOKOYA,bushe mulependa inshiku shashalako?.MWEMAFUTU MWE

  67. I THINK IT’S TOO SOON TO HAVE ANOTHER BEMBA PRESIDENT ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT FTJ DID (MHSRIP). PF= “PANTU FYADI”

  68. Who is going to arrest me…?Tell them to arrest if you big boos like elephant,, you *****s. SATA has a rotten Teeth, is that qualify me to be arrested when am telling the people what they already know about this man. Up to date we are still waiting for the two degrees he promised us. Even PF Kaponyas must be very worried about this man,, is he real worthy talking about him, with his black Teeth to represent Zambia at the United Nations..? We have only two option as of now, RB or HH not this standard 4 drop out with no Teeth. If I hear, he is dead I can be so happy,,,!!! Over my moon SATA must be arrested for not drying so quickly..!! haaaaaa…viva 20HHHHHHHH,,,viva RB……!!

  69. It will be interesting for Sata to die shortly before the elections’ date, remain on ballot papers, proceed to defeat Kanishamezy MalaZimba and plunge Zambia into a constitutional crisis! For one, I bet a dead Sata can still pip Bwezani at the polls. Anyway, Sata is a sick man and given the fact that our constitution requires one to be of sound health, one wonders why Sakala allowed a dying man to successfully file his nomination papers. Anyway, the same Sakala allowed a Zimbabwean born man of Malawian and Zimbabwean parentage to file his papers, knowing very well the parentage clause in the constitution. If anything goes wrong, it is Sakala who must be hanged, for treason!

  70. UPND is a finished party which failed to file 12 candidates in 12 constituencies.PF has filed 150 candidates while UPND tcouldn’t find 8 candidates in luapula,3 in norhern adnd 1 in western. UPND is working with MMD.Most people in Zambia have now discovered the truth.UPND can’t see corruptions in MMD but only attacks PF.Zambians have seen, without Sata Zambia would have been a failed state by now.I was not supporting Sata but i’ve joined PF supporters.Therefore brothers and sisters let join the boat so that we change govt in zambia.Sata really talks on behalf of Zambian people.UPND has lost direction.I thought HH was intelligent but the youngman is just far from ruling the country.Why should sata always talk on behalf of poor zambian while the youngman just attacking him.shame!

  71. Please don’t say President SATA..!! He does not qualify to be called the president..!!! We do not what this rotten teeth old man. to lead us..!! he sticks alot so take him to Luapula where he is popular..!!!

  72. Most of the bloggers advocating for SATA a cracked vessel are youths. Who bewitched you? Even when you are faced with choices between good and bad you choose bad, between graduate and std 4 you choose std 4, between decent and indecent your choose indecent. When are u going to do a right thing?

  73. I wonder why PF cadres respond viciously on straight forward challenges. we need to simplify the messages for them to understand.People are saying that ‘maintaining an old vehicle is more expensive than buying a new one. We need new leadership to minimise unnecessary expenses.

  74. @ KIZITO has a point just reminding Zambians how Sata hacked people in Chawama with Kadobi. ALso about how slow he speaks nowadays a sign of some illness.We pray to God the man will reach 20/09/11 in good health because the worry is if he becomes incapacited before election day…am not sure whether PF can be give a chance to field another presidential candidate…what does the constitution say people?….because people around him are also worried that the very, very old man Sata is not ok…..

  75. Ba MMD under pressure every were u go. Nothing u can do our friends…CHANGE IS UNSTOPPABLE………VIVA UKUMENYAMO VIVA…RB WAWA…

  76. 39 Musaiwale, from Ndola// “PF leader alone and let him liberate zambia from the poverty and corruption, even Jesus DIED for the peoples’ sake.” Campaign is very stressful my dear. If he collapsed during campaign how will he liberate Zambia? If our children are saying grandpa is unwell, its out of love. They feel for him and wish him good health. If you love your neighbor you will keep telling him: imwe simuoneka bwino lelo, take a rest.

  77. Dont just argue, pray for the situation… The prophet Daniel wrote, “Praise be to the Name of God for ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he set up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals the deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you God of my fathers; you have given me wisdom and power you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king (Daniel 3:20-23). As for me I had a dream that one presidential candidate would get sick, so I am very conscious with this discuss and it is time to pray for those you love most. The Bible tells us to pray for our Leaders (1Timothy 2:1-3).

  78. These UPND kadolies!!!!!!!!!! they are not even at the level of youths and their thinking is very shallow. You telling the President to step down and on basis? Ngati mwakolewa chibuku/Tujili jiri just go and sleep ba kadolies than making noise on serious issues.

  79. Please people get a life and get real…do u honestly believe all you are seeing now..cosmetic developments? wish you all more of same developments after the elections…problem is zambians you never learn..after these elections it will be business as usual…i hope all of you ranting now are voting and that you will benefit from your vote…how? thats your business anyway!!!

  80. I thought these youth’s will tell HH to stay side instead of talking about Sata. Pabwatoooooooooooooooooooo viva PF.

  81. To UPND: you f.ckers are suppozd to oppoze MMD and not yo fellow opposition parties! It is such pettiness that makes you a non-factor in these elections

  82. Good health or ill health one Micheal Chilufya Sata will not win the 20th September election to be held in Zambia. What is clear is that his face will and must be one of the ten that will appear on the presidential ballot box. I wish him well and do not want anything terrible happening to him as his death, for example, may result in the presidential election being deferred. Appearing in public and going on a campaign trail is his choice whether he feels sick or strong. it is not my business or anyone else’s. Sata has supporters who will cast a vote for him whether he is bedridden or not on September 20. That is their choice and I have nothing against that. I am not even sure whether his appearing frail in public will win him a few sympathy votes or will make him lose a few votes.

  83. When HE calls we all shall answer individually and when is that? Stop finger pointing or being critics on other peoples health but lets uplift one another in all situations for no one knows when the individual switch will be turned off! Danny says abena Zambia bala konkuluda! MC Wabwino advises with PhD and Anagulisa ma years ku Dubai! When is this kind of negative speculating on anything ever going to stop? STOP ZAMBIA I WANNA GET OFF!

    Introducing a parliamentary candidate does not need MCS to address a rally that becomes the responsibility of the introduced candidate to step up and take centre stage!

  84. Forget about him wothdrawing from the race ba kawalala…….if RB cant withdraw even when he has not answered the question of his parentage,why should sata do…1 million new voters,every vote will count.

  85. Good health or ill health His Excellency Micheal Chilufya Sata will WIN the 20th September election to be held in Zambia.VIVA SATA VIVA PF.

  86. Whether Sata si sick or not, Kalonde and Lifwekelo, th MMD Vuvuzelas without a spine are the last people to provide advice. These are political mercenaries who are only paid to make the path for their masters smooth!!!
    As for UPND Youths, my humble advise is hat they should be aware, their leader can not even beat new Parties like NAREP in a two man race, UPND is dead under HH and the earlier people realise this the better. Health is a delicate and personal matter, it of course be sad if MCS is unwell, but for now he says he is fine and thats what we should take!!!

  87. UPND never cease to amaze me, if MCS loses all PF must join MMD we want to ensure Hakaivotela Humwine does not go to State House.

    This HH has stripped us the opportunity to change Government.

  88. its onli true the are just considerate about his health its better mr sata stops stressing himself because his not even going to win i feel sorry for the poor man

  89. ZAMBIANS ARE VERY NEGATIVE PEOPLE IN GENERAL! ITS SO SAD……THE DANGERS OF NEGATIVITY ARE SERIOUS……

    There is an intimate connection between the functioning of government and the quality of collective consciousness in society. AND IN THIS CASE IS A VERY NEGATIVE ONE:

  90. It now seems HH and his cheap cadres have run out of issues to talk about and have resorted to cheap and useless propaganda. Please ba HH, spare us the ‘Sata is sick nonsense’. Maybe HH should withdraw because he is too scared of Sata. HH is just good for the third position.

  91. Kizito,

    Kizito, Your postings are not just in bad taste but also revelals the shallowness of your character and personality. In case you think the web is such anonymous, be wared that people have been tracked online and paraded in court, so mind the noncsene you write. Sata has made immense contribution t this country and he is human, you cant celebrate any persons illness, real or imagined, let alone their death. Go to school and get refined a bit!!!

    • ELYO MULIBAKOPO BA KIZITO. UBUKOPO BULEMONEKA NAPA BLOGAZ. NGAMWALI BAKAFUNDISHA WHAT WIL U VE BN TEACHIN. SHAME ON U.

  92. Is it ok to steal if you are hungry? Will the answer be the same from a child who goes days without eating anything substantial and a child who eats three good meals and several snacks every day?

  93. You guys in UPND…If you think you have a good agenda and saleable candidate why are you panicking on Sata. Why not concentrate on selling HH? Are you scared of SATA or what??Your HH joined the Pact hoping that Sata would die, or that the degree and age clause would be inserted in constitutions..And that didnt happen that explains the frustration.

  94. So people who attend Sata’s ralies are from other parties like UPND, no wonder these guys know that Sata is not getting anywhere. If people from different parties attend your rallies, then you claim you had a lot of people, but those people are not voting for you, no wonder pf accuses rigging all the time because they are deceived by the number of people who attend rallies. Sorry, pf you are really deceived, next month you are loosing again.

  95. So Sata’s ralies are attended by people who belong to other parties who cannot even vote for him at all, this old man is fooled for sure, why can’t he rest to pave way for the energetic. This is just natural, he should just surrender the party to my man Given Lubinda. Given take over please to redeem that party.

  96. One of this will happen:1. RB AND MMD WINS 2.SATA AND PF WINS 3. A PRESIDENTIAL BYE ELECTION WITHIN 100 DAYS POST SEPT 20. The pen is in hands of 5 million Zambians to decide.

  97. THIS IS THE TIME FOR SATA TO TAKE A REST AND HAND OVER TO LUBINDA.I SAW SATA AT A CLOSE LOOK, THE MAN IS SIK AND SUFOCATES WEN TOKING.IF HE WINS,WHICH CANT HAPPEN,HE WILL SPEND ALL HIS FIVE YEAR TERM IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR TREATMENT.WAT WIL THAT BENEFIT OUR COUNTRY? LETS RALLY BEHIND HH BCOZ RB WIL NOT TAKE CARE OF SATA.

    • Don’t show your ignorance! HH is not even a factor. As for Given Lubinda are you sure that both his parents were/are Zambians. Why should the PF listen to you seeing you are a bigoted follower of Ka HH?

  98. HH is HIV positive. Is he sick or ill?? HH started recieving ART in 2004 and i happen to be one of the medical personnels that counselled him. His wife was also counselled but was found negative. George Kunda has fully blown AIDS and he is still in office. Sata is very healthy and strong.

    • My friend, I am disgusted with you too. I doubt if you are a medical personnel. Maybe you were a cleaner who happened to stumble over HH’s Medical Records. Don’t you know that a patient’s record are confidential? As a health worker, if at all you are one you should know better than what you have just posted. Whether one i s sick or not, it is not for the health worker to publicize such information. I am a health worker and know what I am talking about>

  99. I can’t vote for HH for he is a big thief. All the privitation revenue for RAMCOZ, Sun hotels etc went into his personnal pockets. This guy is a thief and enjoys benefiting especially from the dead.

  100.  Mr. Sata is a significant stakeholder in the political realm. You do not know what evil some of the people in govt. will do had it not been for opposition leaders like Mr. Sata. I am no fan of Sata but I stand by what I am saying. I may not like everything he does or says but no doubt he has some qualities worth praising. He is also a family man, and I shudder to imagine the sufferings his relatives may go through, God Forbid, should he die now. We are all going to die some day. I believe Mr. Sata genuinely believes he can better the life of Zambians. Mr Sata has every right to aspire to be President. He deserves respect. If he is sick, I wish him full recovery. I strongly dislike politics of hatred. i believe we all want the best for our country. Who knows, maybe Mr. Sata will deliver!!

  101. If its true he is unwell then those supporting his candidature are not responsible to the country.If he is alright then those accusing him are not being responsible.Interesting to note that his photos are no where to be seen including in his partners post newspaper and the PF website.The only photos postnewspaper puts are from a distance and not very clear.Funerals of a sitting president should be avoided by puting people of good health in office.No hatred meant.Good luck to all candidates

  102. Mpinganjira Zeb….#… There is nothing you can tell me about the sickness of  your leader… You want to track me and take me to court because your leader with rotten teeth is sick? Kaponya don’t expose your ignorance here, what insult am saying to SATA when I said his teeth are rotten, don’t you knwo that the teeth of your leader are rotten, do you really stay in zambia kaponya…!! Go ahead and track me..!! Bob Sichinga must advise SATA in the same he told Mazoka that he must rest. I don’t want to ruled by this rotten teeth called SATA lunatic with black teeth..

  103. @Mpinganjira Zeb . With such dull comments no one can take you seriously. How can someone in their right frame of mind compare HH and the new comers or Miyanda and nawakwi . Get serious mune

They can’t rest because ifintu nafi bipa. lol PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  106. Am disappointed that at this time and age, youths can be discussing petty issues.
    whetther Sata is sick or not, is not an issue. why is it that his oponents are more concentrated on him withdrawing, Is it fear of failure? Its our prayer that HH, BANDA, SATA Squares each other off in the ballot box, not to wish your to withdraw so you take advantage
    ”Failure is nature’s plan to prepare you for great responsibilities”
    Let the best Man win.
    After all, its ”one Zambia, one Nation”
    Its dissapointing that we can devote our time to discuss petty issues

  107. UPND is going Solo. Some of you console yourselves by thinking they have teamed up with MMD. Thats not going to happen. Its actually stupid to think like that. Do you honestly think people can spend their time and money pretending to stand just to stop a self destructing party like PF ..

  108. See photo in today’s post newspaper.He does not seem to be too well.But its upto him to decide wether to contest elections as long as he does not perish in office because we do not want spending too much money on funerals and early elections.Good luck once again

  109. Chessey Maketula @ 135 My friend, I am disgusted with you too. I doubt if you are a medical personnel. Maybe you were a cleaner who happened to stumble over HH’s Medical Records. Don’t you know that a patient’s record are confidential? As a health worker, if at all you are one you should know better than what you have just posted. Whether one i s sick or not, it is not for the health worker to publicize such information. I am a health worker and know what I am talking about. Your conduct is very much contrary to medical ethics.

  110. I may not be a fun of Sata but hats off, the Man has conducted himself in these elections very well, He is an example to all of us that we should not be giving up in life for what we believe in.
    ”Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something” and  ”If you are not big enough to lose, you are not big enough to win”
    I think lets learn to give credit where it is due!

  111. Key points to note about this election. The next president HH will win by less than 100,000 votes like 2008. key wins will come from Southern, Central , Western and North Western. Good performance in Kanyama, Chawama, Munali and matero to narrow PF and UPND gap in Lusaka. Vote sharing in Luapula and Northern btwn PF and MMD to work in UPND’s favour as PF also eat into MMD share in Eastern. UPND and MMD expected to perform slightly better in CB especially in the Rural areas. other factors such as low frequency of PF campaigns to work against them. MMD to perform poorly in LSK due to violence promoted by the ruling party. I rest my case

  112. I like the headline, its not everyone who attends a rally has a voters card and its not a guarantee that wnen one attends a certain political party then he will vote for it.. careful with these crowds.

  113. There’s no smoke without fire. If it’s not his physical health, then it must be his political lfie that is on the line. The man needs to learn to number his days and know when it’s time to quit.

  114. #141, What’s with the obsession with teeth? Take it easy. Are you going to make it to September 20? You seem to be panicking…don’t.

  115. PF have chosen Sata to presrent them in this election and he accepted. MMD chose RB. When are UOPND ever going for convention? UPND are not concerned with Satas well being, but they are more concerned about trying to remove the competion, very dull!

  116. hey if you have so much time on your hands why not find people to contest the 13 constituencies you have left out you *****s

  117. Kizito
    Honestly if this was a beauty competion then definately HH and RB would be fron runners, but it is not. It is about finding someone to lead the country, Sp even if Sata has rotten teeth, we dont care badala

  118. UPND YOU ARE NOTHING YOU ALSO KNOW YOU CANT WIN, HERE IN CHIPATA YOU ARE NOT EVEN THERE. I KNOW YOU ONLY WANT SATA TO DIE SO THAT YOU BECOME THE MAJOR OPPOSITION PARTY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN ITS PABWATO, MUBOAT MWAMUKOLO THIS YEAR WAPYA MUNZI. THIS IS NO ROYAL RUMBLE WERE YOU FIGHT THE STRONGEST IN ORDER FOR THE WEAK TO REMAIN IN THE RING. THE MAN IS ALREADY DECLARED PRESIDENT WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. IF YOU WANT GO AND COMMIT SUICIDE.

  119. Why is it that UPND Cadres interested in Sata withdrawing from the race? Is it because you want to face a weaker PF, so that you can win easily? God!!!!!!
    ”God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them”
    I have been thinking of Voting for HH, BUT if he is not ready to compete with the best and stand out, Then I should start thinking about others
    Beat Sata on the  issues, 
    if a huge cloud came to listern to him, Good for you, so that he does not give an excuse that non-heard him speak.
    Prayer is that as many Zambians as possible must attend rallies for all the candidates so the best can win 

  120. LET THEM HAVE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS SATA IS WINNING HERE IN WESTERN PROVINCE I SENT 500 YOUTHS TO CAMPAIGN SERIOUSLY FOR PF AND I AM KEEPNIG STATISTIC REPORTS ON PEOPLE’S IDEAS. I ADVICE RB TO START PACKING NOW.

  121. OK Since some judge somewhere banned CC3’s programme on tv, we ask ZNBC to take their cameras to north western and capture the bashikulu taking the last breath

  122. I ADVISE MY FELLOW CADRES WHEN MMD GIVES ITEMS GET THEM AND BEHAVE LIKE ONE OF THEM BUT KNOW WHOM YOU WILL VOTE FOR AT THE END. MMD IS HEADED FOR A RUDE SHOCK THIS YEAR.

  123. If SATA dies, Dr. Kaseba his wife should be arrested because it seems she is the one pushing for this sick old man. No one is saying sata should not contest but what am saying SATA with rotten Teeth must reduce  his movements to prolong his life just by talking through the radio since his supporters are saying he is very popular and  win. So he does not need any pressure now. or Let him rest now and wait for the elections to come because he is very popular MMD and UPND together can not much him…!!! viva rotten teeth sata..!!!

  124. PF is the single biggest threat to any political part taking part in this year’s elections,
    hence much talk on Sata

  125. safa is our father, you MMDs, UPNDs stop pocking your nose in the things you dont know let sata rule this country

  126. Dear 34#. Thats an oxmoron. You cannot love to see someone to die on one hand, and quote scripture on the other hand. Its not wise to mock God, so don’t get too carried away, my friend. These are just politics.

  127. look ! if sata is sick and dies after being elected.. then tough!…we will just move on as a country of course after popping him in a box 6 feet down. he won’t be the first MMD defector to die…

  128. I OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE MY DEFECTION TO PF. HH HAS FAILED TO FILE IN REPRESENTIVES IN 12 CONSTUENCIES. HE SHOULDNT CONTEST IN 2016.HE IS A POLITICAL FAILURE.

  129. #136 Chessey Maketula: Such revelations are probably unwarranted. Besides, I should think that “having a disease” and “being sick” are two different things. Most people in the world have some form of disease in their bodies, but are not necessarily sick. A person is said to be sick when the symptoms of a particular disease begins to bother him or her. Michael Sata’s health appears to have reached that stage, and that’s why people are raising concern. He has run as president before and his health was never a matter of concern, and this despite the fact that he is a chain smoker. Having a president who is sick is akin to having no president at all. A case in point is that of late President Yar Adua of Nigeria.

  130. We also need to consider the disease that is troubling Mr Sata. It is something to do with the heart. Am not qualified to comment on health issues but one thing I know for sure is that heart complications are so delicate and need to be handled utmost care. The man may be declared winner (which is very unlikely) then just drop dead for being over excited. Lets protect our own!!

  131. To RB and the team; remove the log from your eye before you remove speckle from your friend’s eye. Have you seen the step for this R.B? His step shows that part of his below body is completely gone. Compare with SATA who has a healthy body than most of the bloggers who cannot even walk three steps because they are finished. They can only access internet. Sorry guys SATA is winning and that is it. NW, backing SATA, Eastern is for SATA, Western is mwamukolo chabe, MMD you are finished.

  132. Times of Zambia has lost direction nad have started practicing medicine
    UPND youths are now certifing presidential candidates, Lifwe whatever is now a practitioner. Gentlemen and ladies, God is the one who gives life no one else. For a long time HH has hoping for SATA to die and to his surprise, the big man is stronger every day. Thus instead of SATA dying the pact had to die because UPND have always hoped that SATA is dying. A piece of advise, even if SATA died, it is not going to be UPND but it will be NAREP. Sorry UPND.

  133. All those calling for sata to step down dont know the composition of PF. Sata=PF and PF=sata. there are knw credible people to fit in sata’s oversized shoes. Can’t u see the way he’s being worshipped by his followers. to some his followers, sata is their god. They call him the saviour. U can understand their pain.

  134. Zambians are a funny lot. How can we even be debating an issue that is so clear. Sata is not 100% health period. We now need to decide whether it is ok to get him into statehouse & allow him to spend half the time in hospitals (abroad). I wonder then how he will implement his flawed 90 day plan!

  135. Lets just start preparing to welcome back our children so called street kids home coz ba Sata is winning. i remember those days no spitting any how and no ama min vibelo mukati bane…

  136. poliltics will only be interesting when RB&sata die.They have continued to suppress the young generation & are likely to cause post election confusion .

  137. The owner of life is God. When Sata time comes to rest then it has come. The same is the case with HH when God calls him to rest then his time would also have come. No one can decide when Sata should die or HH. However, if Sata’s health is failing him let him, his family and his supporters make a wise decision. We have examples of people who were put under pressure and ended up going to their graves earlier than maybe God had planned. Look at the late Levy and probably even FTJ. We cannot wish others dead because we are not God.

  138. Mcs has a premonition for something  bad to happen. how come he keeps asking pipo not to cry for him but thenselves. food for thot

  139. # 150 you are right medical reports are confidential now i know i cant trust doctors or what ever you call them this time when i go for vct i will do the checking maself and write everything on my paper maself no one should see my reports.

  140. PF leader Michael Sata yesterday received a thunderous welcome in North Western Province’s Mwinilunga district where he later addressed a mammoth rally in the afternoon.

  141. May the wish you have on others fall upon you K.Would some the bloggers be given chance to rule,then ,am sure many people would die in an unexplained manner.Always wishing others to die.Evil-evil-evil mentality.

  142. No body wish anyone death, But if SATA is not heath let him take a bed rest, you only leave Once, Am afraid these politicians behave the same way, even when they know that they are not well health wise, they always want to pretend all is well and end up dieing at a special meeting. Their is no Smoke without fire, In the past elections,no one accused SATA of being unwell, Why now?

  143. # 144: Pakuboko – You are going mad. HH can never win this election, count him in may be in 2030. Am standing in 2016 and I will beat the guy. He is a loser

  144. LELO-LELO,LELO-NI-LELO (UPND4LIFE) The Fever is griping Lusaka-Solwezi and the whole NorthWestern is sealed and delivered.Watch the space you Gays(GaLs)or Guys from the Pathetic Front.Lelo-lelo,lelo-ni-lelo UPND4LIFE

  145. if you and Sata’s Post make it possible for Sata to win this erection, then good luck to you and Zambia. Remember this on 21 Sept 2012. You will see how far down Zambia would have gone. The best prospect for 2011 is Banda and then (remotely, perhaps) HH in 2016
