President Sata lashes out at people peddling lies about his health

Share

Sata returns 1
President Michael Sata has lashed out at people that are claiming that he is sick.

The President said those alleging that he has been evacuated for specialist treatment must check their facts before spreading false rumours.

Speaking at a Cabinet meeting at State House in Lusaka today, President Sata said he is fine and healthy.

President Sata said it is unfair for people to wish him sick or dead as he is very fit and still serving the nation on various issues.

The Head of State said he was never evacuated to any country for treatment as earlier reported by some sections of the media.

Meanwhile, President Sata has appealed to all the Members of Parliament to ensure that they make it a habit to visit their constituencies.

Mr Sata said it is important that MPs should explain government policies to their electorates.

He said their role is to provide a service to people in need even in the remotest parts of the country.

The President wondered why some MPs have to be pushed to visit their constituencies when it is their duty to do so.

He said development of various constituencies in the country lies in elected MPs as they have been given the mandate by their electorates.

    • Just watched ZNBC news where they showed a clip of him addressing ministers before a cabinet meeting.

      Sata looks fine and is alert and presiding over national issues

    • I think the recent pictures have been taken using a not good camera.

      The older you are you niggling illneses, in all honest I dont know if he is ok, but I hope he is
      What puzzles me , is why this is being discused in the media.

      Wish him well

      Thanks

    • We do not want you in heroes acres. Make sure you go back to Tunduma when they evacuate you…. we do not want our land to be cursed.

    • Hihihihihi
      Ba Engineer you have cracked my ribs! Now am convinced Sata must have tickled you the wrong way!

    • I have never seen a people who wait day and night waitng for the demise of their leader like Zambians! Is this the only way you could come up with to change the political status? But you are Witches and Wizards or just plain cowards! Fight your battles like Gladiators or Marines. Always wanting the easy way out what a people, if I were the president I would step down, leading such weak wimps what a shame! Opposition busy in the forefront leading in celebrating, if it’s the social media,…..as if it’s the best thing since sliced bread, but you are shameless cowards I have never seen!

    • When a patient feels better, they show off, and sometimes tell how they were sent back by Jesus that “this is not your time”.
      Abalwele baumfwako bwino, twalatukwa all week long!!.

    • Come out on national TV for us to see you, your HE. We have missed you, it has been a while since this country had its leader address it on a number of issues. Just in case your aids are not informing you correctly, here are some of the issues we desire to be addressed on ZNBC live:
      1. Kwacha and why it is performing as a worst currency on earth
      2. Your position on the mines and their contribution towards our economy
      3. High energy cost and what PF is doing to reduce cost, even for what we produce locally electricity
      4. reasons for too many government spokespersons, unprecedented contradicting statements has characterized your government sir

    • The BIGGEST LIAR in Zambia is now accusing people of telling LIES!

      Maybe he is so mentally retarded he has forgotten all the LIES he has told!

  1. Good to hear you are ok sir. Please as a matter of urgency address the nation through a press conference and brief us. Use the opportunity to talk about the free fall of the Kwacha. The press conference cannot be done at any other better time than now.

  2. Mr president if you claim to be healthy and fit ,why can’t you do a spot check on various infrastructure your pf govt claim to be doing.this will give you a clear picture of why most of your projects have stalled due to lack of funds.please mr sata at least visit 2,the kitwe dual carriage and chiawa road,on the same day.even a dying person can claim to be fine and fit as long as he/she can speak.but to any sane person the fact that he speeds 90% of his time in bed while others are out there,then the man is sick.

  3. MR PRESIDENT. IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE BEST OF YOUR HEALTH. I KNOW YOUR ENEMIES ARE CAPITALISING ON THIS. AND BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF YOUR ENEMIES YOU HAVE DECIDED OUTRIGHTLY TO DENY VEHEMENTLY THAT THERE IS NOT EVEN AN IOTA OF SICKNESS IN YOU. NOW THAT IS WHAT IS NOT RIGHT. IF THE ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE YES, THEN YOU ARE SICK:
    1. HAS MCS LOST WEIGHT?
    2. ARE HIS CLOTHES SOMETIMES LOOKING OVERSIZED?
    3. HAS MCS REDUCED THE LENGTH OF HIS SPEECHES OF LATE?
    4. IS MCS’ FACIAL EXPRESSION CONSISTENT WITH AN ILL-LOOKING PATIENT?
    5. IS SATA STAGGERING STRENGTHLESSLY WHEN WALKING?
    6. WASN’T THE PICTURE OF SATA DISPLAYED ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE POST OF 31ST MAY CONSISTENT WITH A MAN WHO IS WASTED, ILL AND HAGGERED?

    • Chisenga, you sound like you have never been sick and you will never fall sick.All those who are making fun of and rejoicing over the President’s purported sickness are worse than the devil himself.This is totally unZambian and one wonders where you people have left your brains.Yes, many people including myself are very disappointed with the way the PF government is running our nation and Zambians will decide their fate in 2016.But that should not make Sata’s critics behave as if they drink chibuku with the devil himself.

    • @LandLord. I AM NOT TRYING TO BEHAVE AS IF I HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK. I HAVE BEEN SICK BEFORE. MY OWN FATHER DIED OF PROSTATE CANCER. HE LOST WEIGHT, LOST APPETITE, STARTED WALKING WITH STICK. I CAN PAINFULLY SAY THAT MY FATHER DIED A MISERABLE DEATH. SO I KNOW THE PAIN OF SEEING MY FATHER FINISHING OFF SLOWLY. WE TRIED OUR BEST. WE TOOK HIM SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE THE UROLOGISTS AT UTH, GET BIOPSIES AND OPERATIONS. UNLIKE MCS, MY FATHER ADMITTED THAT HE WAS SICK.

      MR SATA IS JUST LIKE MY OWN FATHER. I DONT LIKE TO SEE HIM GOING DOWN THAT ROAD. I DONT KNOW WHAT MCS IS SUFFERING FROM. I KNOW POLITICALLY HE WANTS TO PUT UP A FRONT. BUT IF HIS FAMILY LOVES HIM, LET THEM ALLOW HIM MORE REST. IT IS NOT WRONG TO SAY “I AM SICK BUT I CAN STILL WORK”.

  4. Mr. Katongo Chilufya Mwango, you should have learned from childhood, from your parents, and if you had a church, from church elders, that you don’t mock a sick person. You are not God to ensure you will never die or get sick. But you have been this abominable human that people have learned to hate, thanks to you, you created this scenario. Please, it’s not too late you can repent and people will forgive. Zambians are a forgiving lot. Don’t take advantage of their meek character, that’s their strength. They kicked out a more vile dictator than you, KK.

  5. Don`t mind them Mr president.It is because they have no real issues to discuss no wonder rumours of your sickness and death excites them.Apparently their only chance of unsitting your government is if you died before 2016 because they have failed to sell their party`s vision and Manifesto to the electorate.

  6. Sata please save the little strength you have to say what is not only true but important. Surely are you really looking forward to dying with lies in your mouth? Do you want to be remembered as Zambia’s best liar? It’s not too late to leave behind a better legacy.

    • @Czar, it is a little too late for that. History has already been written.

      Sata is a LIAR and a CONMAN who was voted into office based on FALSE PROMISES.

      In two years his incompetence and nepotism have destroyed the Zambian economy and ensured that future generations will have to slave away to pay back the money he has borrowed and squandered.

      His legacy is already there. Poverty, misery, disease for our children.

  7. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT,MR SATA,YOU ARE SICK YOU ARE ONLY PRETENDING AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH,EVEN A CHILD CAN EASILY SEE AND SAY,MULI BALWELE BA SATA!!ANYWAY SUCH THING DO HAPPEN.

  8. He looked sick to me. But that’s not the point. Address the pertinent issues of the economy and stop the sick or health crap. Everyone dies and you being an old man can get gravely ill and die while proclaiming to be well. You Sata don’t seen to know what hell are doing at Nkwazi it seems.

    • Am disappointed with all Zambians who are happly wishing the death of their elected leader to die before his appointed time by the Almighty God. How I wish God could punish them immedietely. Do not get political mileage by procaiming the health of the Zambian president. If it means him dieying let God allows it and not you a man like me who is mortal. Am really saddened by the comments of Zambians who claim to be christians wishing the death of our leader who was given to us by our Almighty God. All Zambians who claim to be christians should be praying for the good health of all our leaders whether we hate or love them. God bless all loving Zambians.

  9. I am for peace. MCS the president is better than the opposition. May God preserve our leader’s life. Amen.

  10. We have always had an Active Sata who has been commissioning and checking every project. All of a sudden, we rarely see him and if we do its either only in picture or a ten minute commission people into foreign affairs. The picture I have when he just became president is totally the opposit of the ones am now seeing.

  11. Chi Engineer(Australia) you economic refugee, stop that hate towards the president. Leave us alone us who are enjoying his leadership you cursed mad scientist or bush mechanic.

  12. …for me, I will only give my ears to what Dr Kaseba will say…….anyone else including his excellence no….
    So, madam Kaseba what is your assessment…??..I’m waiting for your comment….

  13. The problem with Sata is that he is haunted by how he used to mock other leaders` illnesses like Mazoka, Mwanawasa, Kunda etc. Because of that, Sata is in denial. And the guy will never admit that he is unwell. Unfortunately, that is how evil hearted people get punished.

    What is wrong with saying guys I am unwell, I need rest, and pray for my recovery.

  14. There are few interesting issues about this. First no one said he was evacuated… the ZWD only said they considered evacuating him. 2nd it’s good to hear that he reads what is written about him or at least he’s aware even though he may take them out of context.

    We also need new pictures not the old ones. But the issue here is not about how loud he is denying the rumours. He has to act and walk the talk… get out and mingle with ordinary people on the street; convene press conferences, not that circus we saw of attending a court session and incoherent behind the PR backdrop of state house.

  15. Sata is a congenital liar! It is a painful experience for him to utter something truthful. The dude was cursed from birth…the damage is terminal. Sata please illness is written all over you! You’re an absent president….the economy is collapsing and you’re nowhere to be seen or heard talking about it! For all we know you might as well be dead!

  16. Inkama ya Mweo wamuntunse Yaba na Lesa , ichili pamubiyo chili Napaliwebo. God be with us all and let his will be done amen…

  17. Imwe basiyeni ba MCS, it’s POSITIVE CONFESSION, mwaibala bwanji? At least that’s what ba Pente say, ati even if you are not well, just keep saying am alright and it will be well with you. Unfortunately the reality is the opposite…

  18. Calafwa nomba line and who cares even he were to die today ? The Chief liar whose government has thrown Zambians in severe sufferings. If Sata and his PF was still in the opposition today, he would have been talking loudly on top of his voice about the way the country is badly governed. But alas, he is now in power with more mistakes than the previous governments which is abundant evidence that the man lacks the calibre to govern. There is no more freedom of press and assembly in the country under the government of this dead dog. Anyway, the Almighty God will find a swifty and better way to liberate His children from the Devil Sata and his fellow vultures in the PF.

  19. This is crap! Our kwacha wakes up and announces ” I am strong against the pound and dollar please believe me”

    Please learn to admit when things are bad

  20. All the dull id.iots stupid people commenting and insulting the president are the cursed ones. In fact the poisonous Vernom being unleashed by anti Sata bloggers will make our country cursed. People like Chileya Chipampe, Engineer(Australia) or bush mechanic or economic refugee are individuals likely to make our land cursed through their insults towards the president. Useless bloggers like Alibe Nzelu or Wnzelu, dudelove or dudehate, Jay Jay or Jay Gay, matipa or mud, Ganga farmer, Ndobo or dobo, etc are some of the cursed Zambians who wants our land to be cursed. Please you go and die alone and leave the presido alone. You sabailad a lot when you ZWD said Sata has been evacuated. Loosers

  21. When HH calls this guy a malingerer and that he is only feigning illness, you insult HH and call him all sorts of names. This president has no excuse not to deliver. He is not sick. He just fakes it. Soon you will hear that he is off to India or some other destination incognito. Why does he do that?

    • Why is he keeping everyone in suspense? There is a world of difference between the way he behaves and the way he talks. People have the right to make judgments based on what they see. That is the reason eye-witnesses are able to take in stand in a court of law. Consequently, it is quite imprudent for Mr. Sata to lash at the people who are speculating about his illness. People see it. They are not blind. They see. If you are sick, you are sick. People are able to see it for themselves.

      Once upon a time, a king was told that he had special clothes on, which no fool could see. Since he couldn’t see the clothes himself, he feared he must be a fool and kept quiet about it. When he went out, however, people shouted that the king was naked. And he surely was.

  22. H.E. is presiding over national issues …
    The constitution
    The Economy
    The mines
    Electricity
    Freedom of speech
    Freedom in general
    The Kwacha

    Which of these is he presiding over, really?

    What one thing is moving forward?
    What one thing is making progress?

    Sorry guys, I had enough of this regime making excuses and destroying my country. This is no longer acceptable, not funny, not interesting.

    #Bufi
    #OneZambia

  23. HE should be prayed for so that GOD must extend his life to see zambia a home where the great man(HE) will be happy even when he remains the loved president for the people. GOD will bless your health sir…….I just wish I was invited to pray with you. May you reign as it is your time and the nation is looking up to you. Thanks
