Family members of late President Michael Sata have revealed that none of the family members vying for the Patriotic front Presidency consulted them.
Speaking to journalists in Lusaka shortly after laying wreaths at late President Sata’s tomb on behalf of the family members, Silvia Chalikosa says none of the family members involved in the race consulted them or sought their advice from the family of President Sata.
Ms Chalikosa says the family is disappointed that the family has shown disunity when they need to support each other.
Ms Chalikosa states that all well meaning family members should have devoted their time, energies and wisdom to bringing unity in the family before they can offer to bring together the PF party and the nation.
She adds that the family has not supported any candidate so far and will rely upon the PF to do so.
She furthermore states that it is regrettable that some members of the larger extended family have spoken purporting to speak for the Sata family.
Ms Chalikosa has revealed that the family has since pledged to support whichever candidate the party will pick.
The family members who went to the Embassy Park include Sylvia Chalikosa, Monty Tembo, Mwamba Chalikosa, Katema Mutale, Susan Sata, Fabiola Sata, Yvette Sata, Yvone Sata, Mwango Sata, Mpanga Sata, Mwango Chalikosa, Hildah Sata, Noble Sata, Rachel Banda, Silvia Banda, and Mwango Mwape.
Please someone tell me why people what Edgar Lunga as PF candidate ? Or any of those in applying in PF ? Zambia is one of the poorest countries on earth and the kwacha is one of the weakest in the world . Any of those people got any ideas of economy ? Been a president is not only 300 people family and friends . How will the change the economy ? The main reason why SATA put guy scott as VP is because of donor money from the west. Maybe Zambia what’s to be like Zimbabwe ? Without aid money Zimbabwe will be like Sudan in 1 year .
Finally a voice of reason and wisdom from the Sata family. Dr Kaseba has disgraced herself. Mulenga, Miles, Bob Sichinga and Christine all seem to be driven by greed! I can tell you that none of the above will be president
LT, if there is no news, it is ok you can just go and have some beers. We also have things to do.
Leave these Sata’s family issues, give us some HH and Miyanda campaigns.
Malabishi….Thank God PF is out….and Kabimba will have his last laugh. ..he who laughs last laughs best…
Such is life….chasing winds…at the end of day …God wins
Kasebana the black widow and her fellow hungry monkeys exposed.
There are just too many of your relations to get consultation from you…they would have to book appointments to avoid fighting in your yard.
All this just sums up the then deadwood patient’s myopic leadership. ….his family would have been so ingrained in government if his shambolic leadership continued till 2016 we would have been another Uganda that is ruled by Museveni family.
Chalikosa icine-cine, kulasatafye… This is going to add another first to the many PF bafflements we have been treated to over the short time they have been in power…
There they go again only that this time its Sata’s children who washes dirty linen in public. Couldnt these grown up men and women spoken to their half brother, step mum, cousin & uncle instead of going to the media? When a man cant keep his pants up and wants to get between every woman he meets on the street and hospital ward the result are children who cant seive issues for public and family consumption. Bad manners like their father!
The sata family and PF should spare us the drama. Please spare us.
Just vacate the state house ba Pompwe imwe. …..ukutumpa. …you think Zambia belonged to Sata. Atase
I think Zambia should really close for renovations. ..one of the bloggers suggested. ..
99.9% of those in PF are Too dull & useless . 1% clever is Dr guy Scott and his few ministers. If the can’t understand there own constitution in PF what about Zambians constitution .
i don’t believe Scott understands it either
otherwise he would not be consulting LAZ on the PF constitution
The drama continues. This is the true legacy of the late Sata?
I smell a rat. There is scramble for Sata family members by opposing camps in PF.
Does that even matter? I dont need to call every chatulika village member to ask for permission for solliciting for a Job do I? Keep digging into all negatives you want……. If it’s her time regardless how, where and when, no one will stand in the way! Is now the village headman more important to cause sleepless nights incase he is not informed? What is this for an excuse, get a life you who had time to go and ask his relatives if she got permission! How many relatives did you call to find out? But you have time and energy man……
PFs are rushing to carry on a vision of confusions in the family, party, and the nation at large, what a country it shall be when one of these confusion vision bearers take over presidency
It is very fun that the people talking the loudest are the Chalikosas, mutales, bandas etc where are sata’s children who should talk the loudest…..???? You are all bunch of vulches who sent poor sata to his grave early…..!!! Sylvia you are a civil servant who should not participate in politics….mr zulu fire her…. why dont you all talk about your late parents and let sata kids talk about him…. greedy bastards…..not any more….you are all finishef…
i don’t see anywhere where sylvia said anything.
if you can’t read, please go watch telemundo or something
some of you chaps are as dull as a door knob
I don’t take Zambian politics to be of value at the moment, I can’t see any difference between Zambia and Zimbabwe. No wonder the Mother and the Son are fighting to be leaders of the same party! What a shame! Power hungry, everyone want to be a president and leap from government. My father was very wise and he told us not to get involved in politics, why? It’s a dirty game! People lack morals, integrity and love for other. God help us and save this evil generation. All parties are currently facing problems fighting within the party? What a shame really!
Don’t worry be happy. after 20th jan it will be tym for CHITEMENE system on the family forest.all those appointed in foreign service,ministriel jobs,ps,in parastatal companies will all be axed.Then same fresh air will flow again on our motherland.
Silivia Chalikosa, how come you went to Embassy Park with a written speech? You talked about washing dirty linen in public but weren’t you doing the same? Why didn’t you communicate your concerns through family elders so that they could convene a family meeting? What have you gained through this? Are you the family spokesperson? You have just given more ammunition to those who dislike your family and the PF.
give us a family representative or the administrator to issue statements on behalf of the family,kambwili for president
