President Micheal Sata has appealed to the people of Luano District to vote for Patriotic Front, PF, candidate in the forth-coming Parliamentary By-Elections.
President Sata said this today when he addressed a campaign rally held at Old Mkushi Secondary School grounds, where he had gone to drum up support for Patriotic Front, PF, Candidate Davies Chisopa, in the September 11 By-Elections.
President Sata said he was in Luano district to specifically drum up support for Mr Chisopa as well as show the people that he was well and alive.
He advised Mr Chisopa, who is vying for the Mkushi South seat, to concentrate on the welfare of children once he is elected as Member of Parliament.
“ Mr Chisopa should prioritize children and women and ensure that their needs are addressed because most of them are vulnerable,” the Republican President said.
He further advised Mr Chisopa to learn from him when he was area Member of Parliament he concentrated on the rights of children.
“These children are special and you must love them just as the Lord loved them. As you can see, they have various things and among the, education is key. Please ensure that their needs are addressed as you get into Parliament.” President Sata said.
President Sata, also advised people of Luano to always look out for one another and encourage each other to vote for the ruling PF.
And Patriotic Front General Secretary, Edgar Lungu, says he is optimistic that PF will emerge victorious in the September 11 Parliamentary By-Elections.
Mr Lungu said this is because the people of Mkushi South Constituency have shown great confidence in the ruling PF which scooped all the five Wards in the August 12 Local Government By-Elections.
“Your Excellency, allow me to report that our party is quite popular in this part of the country. This can be evidenced by the recent Local Government By-Elections in which we scooped all the five Wards,” He said.
He appealed to PF members to campaign vigorously and ensure that the party scoops the seat.
And Mr Lungu has disputed allegations that some new members have hijacked the party.
He told the large gathering that assertions that the Patriotic Front Party has been hijacked are false because no one has hijacked it.
“I would like to assure you fellow Zambians that no one has hijacked the party. That is just a rumour because most of us founding members are here and the party is intact.
“The only truth is that the party has grown but obviously you all know the difference between growth and foundation,” He said.
And commenting on his appointment as the Secretary General, Mr Lungu, who is also Defence Minister as well as Justice Minister, said he was not in the party for any mischievous agendas but that he is there to unite the party.
He said as the party’s new Secretary General, he will not condone enmity among members but will strive to uphold unity and tranquillity in the party.
“I want to state that as Party Secretary General, my major role is to unite the party and so I will not tolerate division setters in the party. I know that some of you are busy sending me messages, advising me to fire or side-line everyone that worked with my predecessor, Wynter Kabimba, but I will do no such thing.
“You are just wasting your time because my main focus is to unite the PF party and set a good pace that will ensure its continuity after the 2016 General Elections,” He said.
Meanwhile, Kabwata Member of Parliament, Given Lubinda, has thanked President, Michael Sata, for putting to rest the long-standing confusion that was in the party.
Mr Lubinda said the decision by the President will help restore the peace and harmony that the party enjoyed, previously.
H said he is personally happy with the appointment of Defence Minister, Edgar Lungu, as the party’s new Secretary General.
“Your Excellency, I thank you for providing good leadership by making decisions that will restore peace and rejuvenate our party. I am especially happy with your appointing Edgar Lungu as our General Secretary because I know him as a peace-loving person and I have no doubt that he will deliver in accordance with your expectation as well as that of the party, he said.
And Mr Lubinda says the changes President Sata has made in the party will attract old members back to the party.
He said a lot of people left the party because they were victimized and were frustrated by some party members.
And the Parliamentarian has pledged his continued loyalty to President Sata and the Patriotic Front leadership.
Addressing the multitude at the rally, Mr Lubinda disclosed that he had remained mute during his dismissal from his ministerial position and subsequent suspension from party activities because he knew that one day, his time to speak would come.
He however said he has forgiven all his adversaries, especially those who were after his blood.
“Your Excellency, whatever we discussed in privacy, I will say it in public that I will be loyal to you and that I hold nothing against my adversaries, including those who were after my blood. I forgive them in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ,” he added.
Mr Lubinda also urged other PF members who were still nursing the pain and humiliation imposed on them by some party members to embrace healing and use their experience to uphold peace in the party.
He further appealed to all party members to support new party Secretary General, Edgar Lungu, as he strives to unity the party and restore the party’s dignity.
there you go head of state of republic of zambia,,,, how many times has he be reported almost dying?,,, its the proverbial nine lives or is it TB joshuà`s prophecy, which scared the heck out of him to come???
It does not add up at all.
@ndobo you are amongst the same vile chaps together with wanzelu that have been saying terrible things about HEMCS now you see the man is truelly protected by God. You see the devil and his demons in this case UPND and ZWD always wish evil but God protects those he loves in this case HEMCS, as for UPND just wait and see how that party of masons will disentegrate into oblivion after these bye elections and then we will have more sensible opposition parties such as Elias Mpondela’s ZRP provide a better leadership in the opposition free of insults and wishing death on others but real constructive criticism that will put the ruling govt on its toes as is required in a healthy democracy.
Where are the actual pictures of the rally please? This is a file picture taken some time back when he visited Mkushi on his way to home village early last year.
I still do not believe this lie.
My Granpa is sick for sure…..!!
I like ZWD for their INVESTIGATIBE news, for we r always updated.
Ths warm up by my GrandPa to open Parley it will lead him to death.
Anyway let him SAY LAST WORDS to people who voted him into Power….!!
Any ZNBC news clip now?
@2020vision
Elias mpondela`s ZRP??,,, thats sounds wierd,,,, whatever you are drinking or smoking,,, throw it away,,, very far!!!
Go back go away again MR. Sata… you made us loose football to Mozambique.
People purchased tickets and didn’t want to go and watch game after hearing that Ba Sata is out of the hole. There were even tear-gas at stadium, for nothing, completely nothing and you tear gas boys playing football.
@Nostradamus
you are right,,, those days muli ba kaunda we used to win bola,,, when ba kaunda comes out in public,,,
I trust Zambia Reports and ZDW . If they say Sata was seen today then he is still alive if the one who showed up is not his double wearing a rubber mask.
PF is so desperate to hold on to power and as such they are capable of buying a rubber mask and give it some one who is good at mimicking other people’s voices to wear it and go about representing Sata.
Any way PF minions should thank us for our relentless efforts demanding that Sata comes out of his hiding hole and prove himself that he is alive.
Hower this does not change the fact he in no longer the man of action but the man in hiding.
Welcome back Sata.But this time tell your handlers to tell the truth about your health so that some of us can sympathise with your illness. Lies from PF about your health is damaging…
Yes I meant Elias Chipimo JR not Mpondela, Chipimo is a better person to lead the opposition parties which will happen when UPND disentegrates soon.
@2020vision,
Yes wishing death on others is evil and therefore the first known devil in this game is your HEMCS. When he said the vilest things about others at his public meetings he must have been an angel to you. O no, no, no he was a devil and you were one of his demons. Why do you bring in God’s name in this nonsense and by the way God loves ALL His created beings not only Sata.
UPND is a party of masons?? PF is known as the most violent party consisting of thugs right from the top leadership and you know that too.
Mwafwa bafikala Sata is alive.
That’s my president!!!!! Sata rocks !!!
@london eye, if you can be truelly honest with yourself you know this branding of other people as satanists started with ZWD and their own bloggers like ndobo, wanzelu, yourself and others that post on lusaka times, that is a fact and now that the tables are being turned and everyone is now calling UPND a party of satanists and freemasons you start crying foul like the cry babies you are, also when has President Sata ever wished death on someone? Your lies are typical of a desperate and bitter ZWD blogger. But ill will tell you something unlike your false predictions your paty UPND will diminish into a gathering that even in Southern Province will no longer be significant, yes this is the end of UPND, after these bye elections your tribal pack of hyenas will fall apart.
Sata amoneka mwebantu! Uyo! musiyeni achite recover lomba
Mkushi Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DfurrzHZ7k
Some individuals were never supposed to be heads of state as they do not know what their priorities are once they get into power…empty tins! !
Well since you are not an empty tin, why do you not form a party and run for President??
Jay Jay is that twice because you jay walk both ways. You are pathetic.
Yep,@jay jay.
For Sata it was just for prestige even though he lacks in temperament,vision ,depth and professionalism.He does politics of self preservation.
True, evil doesn’t pay and life doesn’t favour short cut. Bwana Lubinda God bless you for allowing the storm of destruction to pass by. Call back your friends to the party
It is now very clear that Sata fears HH.In mukushi HH told pipo that sata is hiding in state house this forced him out of state house.ITS only HH,Sata can shiver from.He sata knows that once he leaves power his son will be arrested and the Huge junks of cash and wealth holed in Turkey and in the oriental countries will be gotten back to Zambia as in chilubas case. This fact is the one that forced out of his sick bed an go to Mukushi.PF now is aware of HH’s growing popularity.We also aware of many plans to clear HH close to 2016 so the his pipo will not have time to morn or react while planning for election.With God jehova on our side we shall be victors.
That is an old picture when Daniel Chisanga was Lusaka Mayor. Show us the real pictures of today ba LT.
I’m just here to read comments from the cynical, hehe. I can’t believe some of you even have the guts to say you trust ZWD: There is no professionalism there, it’s all written in bitterness and that’s what they feed yo bitter souls
Bloody wanzelu where the hell are you and what is your excuse this time…wanzelu then come the 19th I expect you to remain silent or commit suicide for telling lies and trying to mislead people..HEMCS once again has shown you UPND doomsayers that he is there and the people are so happy to see him..pabwato!!!!
My comment above makes reference to the 19hrs news clip we just watched where HEMCS was in Mkushi not that file photo.
@2020vision
You should thank me for helping to smoke him out of his hiding place if indeed he was seen today, which I still doubt!
So what is old man Sata’s excuse for 3 months missing all these important international events/ summits only to turn up for a small by election without explanation to the taxpayer’s ….Zambians or should I say Zombies when are we going to wake up from this docility and passivity??
They is no doom’s day my dear.This is not new in Zambia,It happened to Mazoka some of as who were close to Mazoka we opposed all those who told us Mazoka is dying.The man was frail and sick we forced to address rallies.We only believed when we saw him in a casket.Next it was Chiluba he was sick for a very long time just when we thought he was out of danger,he sadenly died.He at the right time to alow Sata to rule.With Sata and those pictures I saw yesterday never rejoice.Its just a matter of time God has a way of doing things just at the time everything will be looking good for PF he will strike.The bible says never put all trust in man who feeds on bread.
Zwd/upnd the president is alive.
@Davidson iwe mambala iwe ZWD has NEVER lied, in fact they give u 99.99% of the BEHIND the SCENE NEWS the so called ‘Investigative’ news!!!
They used to give ths NEWS whn Sata was in OPPOSITION!!!
Its good sata has seen the sun after 3 months,I hope that after cheating death,he will use his remaining earthly days wisely.
Thats my president… he is alive and working!!!!! Mdala we all go thru hell. but God is sovereign. he has given you life. we exalt his name. long live his excellency MCS
Good to hear that he’s alive and kicking
We want to hear latest excuse from M’membe, how Michael is not in position to make certain decisions. Finish off the cartel. The confusions in PF and cartel camps will probably strengthen the opposition which is good for democracy.
He is alive but not kicking.
Leave my GrandPa out of Politics. Let him resign and retire frm Politics.
Bo Lubinda has started campaigns for Presidency since Kabimba is gone…..!!!
Isn`t it bizarre to report that Sata was addressing a campaign rally, and yet you show old selfies of Sata.
He must be in very bad shape now. That’s why!
Your president is really sick. I ve seen him on TV it is a sorry sight. I remember how he used to his friends. But look at him now. He thot he was immortal. I am seeing white lips instead. Let him feel it the way the pipo he mocked felt.
@jamakudi you are the one that is sick in the head, you first said HEMCS was dead now that you’ve seen with your own sick eyes that he is alive you are running out of bad things to say and are desperate to say the worst things that come to mind. Don’t be fooled or misled by the devil okay, HEMCS is there and is in firm control.
@jamakudi you really don’t know what you are talking about..for sure its you that is sick in the head jamakudi or possessed by the devil like your fellow UPND thugs
Only one photo after missing in action for months? Did they show him on ZNBC or MUVI?
with all the food and medical attention in state house Sata has failed to heal, kwena ubulwele ubu bukali…if it was malaria like poor people in misis suffer from he could have been healed but this one not even doctors knows,
Woaoooo! I heard with my ears on 19Hrs news, the Cobra is back, he spoke to the people live @ least leave him to run the country guys, Watchdog tone down.
My Granpa is sick for sure…..!!
I like ZWD for their INVESTIGATIBE news, for we r always updated.
Ths warm up by my GrandPa to open Parley it will lead him to death.
Anyway let him SAY LAST WORDS to people who voted him into Power….!!
Seeing the president on ZNBC’s main news made me feel so bad about our president… The man is really sick just his Lips?? OmG. May God have mercy on him, wishing him a quick recovery and God’s streghth be upon him. Wonder y PF/govt could hide such an illness. He is our president after all, I wish him well
I am looking at the jacket’s left shoulder. Quiet some body frame shrinkage there. Does it mean state house has no tailor to readjust the emperor’s clothes?
We wish Sata good health and meet him in 2015 – 2016 for electioneering in the countryside so that he can try to lie to Zambian people again. Results and lies will be campaign issues on the ground. Thanks Kabimba is no more who on PF intructions was abusing the police and civil servants.
ViVa PF, ViVa HEMCS
HH received by hired taxi drivers in zambezi….shameful
Thumbs up to ZNBC website for professional coverage of politics. The acting DG requires a medal.
Shame to MCS haters. All you chaps who are unhappy about MCS recovery you are just devils. Your leader, a free manson HH has shiki to see the Republican Presido.
President Sata was live on ZNBC and he was speaking normally, seemed of a sound mind and was in charge of his mental faculties. So let us now put the ‘dying’ story peddled by Free-Mason HH to rest.
What this does is that the nation, Mr. Kabimba, Chietainess Nkomesha can now be sure that the decision to fire Mr. Kabimba was by the President in his right mind. I think that Mr. Kabimba’s insistence to speak to the President after he was fired was because he thought the President was in a vegetative state as we were amde to believe by UPND.
Katongo nasambe what ever you call yourself.I want you to be realistic did our president look like a fit man able to work in a demanding office like that of the president.The Man only spoke for less than 4 minutes and he heavly leaning on on the podium,he could not stand on his own.Come Zambians even if power is sweet why cant he just resign in dignity.The bible say its better live happily in house were you feed on vegetables than live sadly in house full of beef.What is that you gaining that you conquer the whole world and fail to save soul.
Cruel PF cadres are excited about Sata’s appearance at this lone rally after three months absence! His deteriorating health is nothing to worry about as long as he can keep up appearances. Mr. Sata, why don’t you just call it quits and safeguard your life? Yours is just a job and it’s not hereditary, that you have to die in office to relinquish it. Please be reasonable about this. It’s your life after all.
BA UP and DOWN disapointed…hav been telling lies….what can u now say ba false prophets ?
but how long can the President sustain himself before he wrecks himself to death, He is no longer a young man, hope he will leave himself some energy to open parliament , we have a very fragile President hope Membe won’t pressure him to death seeing now his ally is no more
Something fishy about the picture above. Why use a file photo LT which was taken sometime back? To me it looks like the background shows KK internatinal airport and not anywhere in Mkushi. Besides how come there are no photos of him addressing the rally or even photos of the attendees as has been the case? What is the state hiding?
Iwe citusha!! The state does not run LT. Maybe you can donate a photographer for LT to be following the presdo everywhere.
And you ZWD followers, why recommend it here at LT? Speak about it there. I don’t visit is & will NEVER ever, so stop advertising it.
The only problem is that despite Sata’s intermittent appearances, the government has never owned up to the fact that he has not been in good health for a while. He is made to ‘come out’ at each opportunity where he has been ‘patched up’ and feels better. The fact is actually that he needs to step down and enjoy whatever is left of his life. He will live longer that way – without selfish individuals whose existence is in the balance, telling us that the man is normal and healthy. All these current maneuverers to try and prove that the man is fit and working, are pathetic and deceiving.
The president admitted yesterday that he is sick . He said I quote “Nachisa ati mumbone not to address a rally’ Nchilindelola”.Meaning I am not fit enough to address you but I have just come to show my face that i’am still alive and not dead.He never despailed rumours that he is in fact sick.
The appearance of Sata in public for the first time in 90 days is like the unveiling of a new statue that the people awaited for a long time. If he has any regard and respect for Zambians whom he kept in suspense for such a long time the first thing he ought to do is apologise and ask for forgiveness and explain his abnormal behaviour. I am not sure if there was any national leader anywhere in the world that ever behaved in this manner.
The president is alive and well. Every satanist and Freemason with death wishes has been shamed. Long live HE MCS. My advice to the opposition is to start campaigning with powerful manifestos because PF is here to stay. Surely, how can one Under-5 idyot say “this government through Sata has failed they must leave”
Leave and go where HH stanyiako? You think Zambians love you? You think if HE MCS were to step down we would pick you? Keep dreaming and masturbating in the kraal.
Well meaning Zambians despise you and they hate your tribal antiques and loathe your sponsored tabloids. We true Zambians hate your stinking guts and your putrid cow offals shaaa!
kudos to you my friend . Stan ninah takatekepo!
Kudos keep eating those big baboons from Gongo we Kolwe we.Leave our beef alone.we the Ngonis and the Tongas together with Lozis we have cattle so no Ebola for us.You will perish with Ebola with your president so much that they will be no one to vote for you in 2016.As we sail through victorious we shall make drums out of cow hides at drum from Kaleni hills in north western down to the lake shows of Kariba and the Victoria falls.From the Barotse plains up east to Muchinga escapments and flat lands of the Luono plains.HH will be president.All Zambians will cerebrate freedom from a dictatorial and illiterate president ever ruled Zambia through lies.
@sidomark but kwena mwe muli chipuba..when you say Lozis are you making reference to the same Lozis you chased from your tribal gathering when Sakwiba Sikota was humiliated by your Tonga uncles in UPND?? Are you making reference to the same Western Province that just recently endorsed PF by voting PF in the Mangango bye election?? Sido just as your name suggests you have very cheap and low thinking capacity and with members like you in UPND its no wonder why Zambians will never vote for you..
wapya baisa, they thought you are dead sir, we love you and may God bless you and your family. After road network here we come agriculture, and sir not all people will love you, i magine some were even celebrating when the heard you were sick.GOD HELP US.
THAT IS AN OLD PICTURE,SHOW US THE LATEST ONE BA LT. WHERE IS THE CROWD HE WAS ADDRESSING,,,NOTHING,SO WHAT ARE THE PF CADRES YAPPING ABOUT ON THIS SITE? HAS ZNBC SHOWN HIS RALLY?
I am sure Dr Lutato and Dr Shadreck Saili are extremely happy about this development .
Iwe ‘The London Eye’ you must be a Tonga full of hatred .
Fyaliba tribal fimambala ifi…PF nafuti nafuti ati Wanzelu malabishi yeka yeka mu mutu shaaa!
When UIibe Nzelu, it doesn’t add up indeed.
Here comes the KING COBRA to shame his death wishers!
The ZWD lied to us that the president is dead and some fuuz say the are 99 % accurate now the president. Is wel they stil request mo evidence go the ZWD since they up to date.2016 is just near wait n see results will speak for themselves viva pf and UPND wait for 2051
YES I SAW HIM LIVE , I WAS SEATED VERY CLOSE TO THE RESURECTED PRESIDENT, NO PHOTOZ WHERE ALLOWED AND THOUGH PIPO COULD STILL HAVE TAKEN SOME NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO POST ONLINE. The man looks very strong, thank God
#Kudos
Reading your commentary sounds direct translation from Bemba into English.
Your vile terms replicate PF hatred for other tribes, small wonder PF govt domination as a Bemba government.
Iwe Macos Ch!kala, cant u see that the old rug is dying?! His lips are over eaten with viruses and have gone from red to whitey! His skin looks like an arse of a Kolwe and his voice sounds like that of yo old Grandma! That old rug is dying! And u Kolwestans nid to accept that and spare him pliz!!
BaUPND, this animal that I’m replying to whatever his name is the type of supporter you are proud of? This is why you will never lead this country. Hopeless cretins.
Jeeeez. I didn’t know that’s what your spouse looks like.
So the pain to many people that emanated from the conduct of some people who have been expelled from PF were as painful as the sore in the back!! God listens to the cries of His people when victimized for no apparent reason. Lessons learnt. Never be drowned with power when your turn comes. Remember people on your way up, because you will need the same people to hold you on your way down. But if you created enmity to every one, you will fall down like a rock. Learn to be sober whenever you have a responsibility to look after people.
UPND is tribal party & will not rule unless 2022, because their politic base on attacking others.
That’s my President. I like the way he handling things. Let people continue imagine whatever they want to imagine. Continue staying away from the Screen to avoid talking.
Bravo Mr. President
Yaba! Wanzelu, Nostradamus, Wantanshi, Anderson Chisala and other haters what do you have to say now? Wanzelu even called the President ‘dead Sata’ on Friday. Mwaba ama T bafi gili!
@ Chekov,
You sure the man can do what men are supposed to do? May be we asking the wrong person. The man needs an indefinite sick leave; proposed return date- after 2016 elections!
You know you have a problem as a country when your president’s main priority is to appear in public in order to ‘show the people that he was well and alive’. What misplaced priorities. His main pre-occupation should be to explain the ailing economy; the free-falling kwacha; the high cost of living and the subsequent deteriorating standards of living.
Why is he even discussing being ‘well and alive’ in the first place? Is he admitting he was not well and alive recently? He needs to show us the results of his hiatus absence… we were told he was working hard: what are the achievements and results, other than that of dismissing Kabimba?
This country’s citizens are a shocker – just look at the level of discussion even among the ‘educated elite’?
Time to start trotting again Mr. President. Kabimba is gone.
Boring article. Lungu concentrate on tackling poverty and provide other basic needs every Zambian needs. You are not paid wasting tax payers money to unite the PF party.
What has happened to us Zambians where are our values? Both Christian and cultural values where has this thing of. Rejoicing at someone’s sickness come from MCS is a grandpa,a dad a brother,an uncle and our president whether we like it or not.so let’s pray for Him and wait until our preferred people are given chance by God to as well lead but as of now it is Sata in the drivers seat.God bless Zambia forgive our sins & heal our land
The second most hated person in Zambia after Winter Kabimba is HAKAINDE HICHILEMA… UPND will celebrate his departure the way we did Kabimba’s…. Mark my words!
