It has emerged that Minister of Youth and Sports Chishimba Kambwili and PF Deputy Secretary General Anthony Kasolo last evening stormed Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) Newsroom harassed and ordered Mr Kenneth Maduma Director of News and Current Affairs in front of his staff, to remove the stories on Honourable Inonge Wina and the UPND President Mr Hakainde Hichilema.
According to the statement released by ZNBC Board Chairperson Dr JOHN MULWILI , Mr Kambwili threatened to dismiss Mr Maduma and his staff from employment. The statement further said that Member of Parliament Ms Sylvia Masebo also used abusive language and threats to Mr Maduma on telephone, ordering him to ignore the Inonge Wina story.
Below is the full Statement from ZNBC
ZNBC Disturbed by Kambwili’s storming the Newsroom to order removal of Inonge Wina and HH’s stories
The board and management of the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation is disturbed and disappointed by the behaviour of some senior government Ministers and the Patriotic Front -PF- party officials who have continued to storm into the ZNBC Newsroom and harass newsroom staff, ordering them to drop or not to use stories of other people or opposition political parties with dissenting views from theirs.
The Board and management of ZNBC is further dismayed that the same cabinet ministers are also threatening newsroom staff with dismissals, thereby creating fear, anxiety and insecurity among them.
What happened last night where Minister of Youth and Sports Chishimba Kambwili and PF Deputy Secretary General Anthony Kasolo stormed ZNBC Newsroom harassed and ordered Mr Kenneth Maduma Director of News and Current Affairs in front of his staff, to remove the stories on Honourable Inonge Wina and the UPND President Mr Hakainde Hichilema,is unacceptable and should be condemned in strongest terms.
The threats by Mr Kambwili to dismiss Mr Maduma and his staff from employment on account of doing their professional work, does not only amount to abuse of authority of office, and a crime, but it also takes away the dignity of a person of his standing in society.
The Board and Management is equally disappointed that Chongwe Member of Parliament Ms Sylvia Masebo had the audacity to use abusive language and threats to Mr Maduma on telephone, ordering him to ignore the Inonge Wina story.
The Board and Management of ZNBC, is equally perturbed at the vulgar language that was used against newsroom staff by Mr Kambwili and Ms Masebo.
The Board is further disturbed that Mr Robert Kamalata, a senior private secretary to the office of the Vice-president, could call Mr Maduma and accuse him and newsroom staff of having an agenda to work against the party in Government.
It is also unacceptable that Mr Kamalata, a civil servant, had the audacity to threaten ZNBC Newsroom staff with dismissals, which is outside his authority and powers to do so.
Sadly, the conduct of Mr Kambwili and Ms Masebo, comes barely a week after the new Permanent Secretary for Information and Broadcasting Services, Mr Chanda Kasolo came to ZNBC newsroom and ordered staff to stop using all stories from opposition political parties, and anyone endorsing the candidature of Justice and Defense Minister Edgar Lungu for the presidency of the PF.
Therefore, the Board and Management of ZNBC, would like to make it abundantly clear, that ZNBC has an Editorial Policy that has a very candid Complaints Procedure, which aggrieved parties or persons are required to use to seek redress. The same policy is a guiding tool for the newsroom staff in their generation, treatment and dissemination of news content.
Therefore, it is highly erroneous for Government, Party officials and other stakeholders to take over the role of ZNBC Journalists.
As Public Broadcaster, ZNBC is further guided by the Electoral Code of Conduct and the Independent Broadcasting Authority, which among other requirements, demand that news must be impartial, fair, balanced, and reflect divergent views.
This is simply the professional role ZNBC staff are pursuing and not any other political motive or agenda.
The Board and Management of ZNBC therefore demands that all Media Statement must be duly signed and no verbal statements or instructions will be entertained, to protect ZNBC staff from abuse by people who wield political power.
The Board and Management would also like to re-iterate its earlier position to political parties and their supporters not to turn ZNBC into a political battle field by frequenting the newsroom.
In conclusion, therefore, the Board would like to assure staff of its unwavering and unflinching support in their generation, treatment and dissemination of news content in line with ZNBC’s National Mandate to serve the public.
I noticed those items were not part of the 21hrs news package. Muduma, don’t bow down to these shallow schemes. news ni news.. Free and Fair
Sorry, meant MADUMA………………
This is really Good, coming from the ZNBC board. I have never seen such balls of steel from public media. I think there is finally hope for our country and great kudos to DR John Mulwili, these are the real doctors, executing their professional duties and not just defending their board allowances. These are the great men that will build Zambia nd take it to greater heights.
Dr Mulwili deserves the support of every Zambian. It is such men that we need in the role of safe guarding our institutions from these illiterate politicians who have done a alot of damage to our country.
What a great statement. Today I will sleep with a smile, knowing that there is hope for Zambia. Not all men and women have sold out. There is still integrity in the system
Its amazing how people can now find the balls to stand up to these buffoons knowing that their time is over…
Anthony we the citizens of Zambia will not be intimidated by you.We demand political debates live by all aspiring candidates. We need to see who has better ideas.We shall not intertain those traditional one hour one person interview.we need all candidates at the same time answering the some questions in a row.The USA type we need another Obama in Zambia.
And these are the people hiding and rallying behind Scott calling for a “democratic” vote on the PF leadership vacancy. Yet they want to deny Zambians and other Presidential aspirants “access” to a democratic process for the presidential vacancy. How can Zambians be so blind to fail to see that camp Scott is up to no good and working on “Personal Interests” as opposed to Party or national Interests.
Kambwili has proved he can run this nation and Maduma and HH are cut from the same cloth.
I agree with Kambwili here wholeheartedly
Thanks
(Winner of best blogger 2014)
Kambwili is reincarnated from one of those people who used to be buried alive with a dead Chief. Imagine the rest.
And this Kambwili thinks he will ever have a reasonable vote as President; not in this life time.
Masebo, am not surprised because of her well known promiscuity and working with Kabimba cartel.
All of us who were at UNZA in the 80’s know Masebo tooo well. In fact at that time we took it that she was from Zimbabwe. Yes, that is what ba monk used to say.
@Nubian hahahahaha that is thinking at its best. I have never heard an expression. But truely imagine, if I made it out of Chief’s grave alive…. kuti nabaponona ichalo chonse.
Is there anyone surprised at the confusion that has engulfed the country Zambia. Before Sata died, it was common knowledge that Sata will find itself in this state. Remember the tape of bashi Nono? Bashi focused this long before it happened and people thought he was kidding! Yes he said it, Sata was going to leave Zambia in crisis and his words have now come to haunt us. Sata was a bad leader. If he was not, Zambia could not be in this position now. Guy Scott is an equally bad leader because he has failed to correct the wrongs his late boss put Zambia in. What is worse, he is fuelling the problems. And Mmembe does not mean well for Zambia from the way his paper is writing stories. And he does not love Zambia by the way he is pitting political players against each other.
PF has always been a party of thugs and this thuggery will be worse when they get out of office. I feel sad to say this but it is true, that the only thing that humbled Mr Sata was disease. If that man had not been ill, kaya…
His closest comrades are now employing his tactics.
Thank you Lord for removing this vile government.
Kabwili you are just dull and not even buying a degree from Copperstone University can change this fact
The biggest culprit is Guy Scott. These two PF members abusing ZNBC staff are now close to Guy Scott.
If Guy Scott hands were free, he should have condenmed Kambwili and Masebo’s action.
Guy Scott, in his quest to support M’membe cartel will go down in history as the Greedy White Man who ruled in 21st Centuary Africa country of Zambia, in the same year Africa had Ebola, but we will end up worse politically, socially and economically because of Guy Scott support for Fred M’membe cartel that includes Masebo’s sweet heart.
History will judge Guy Scott rule of Zambia harsh.
God save us from this mania, Fred M’membe, Kabimba & Masebo cartel that wants to plunder, keep Zambians forever poor in the name of protecting PF constitution.
The truth will always prevail.
Does UPND have a legal team? If they do, why are not writs, injunctions, petitions and JR applications flying?
Remember how effective Peter Mutharika’s legal team helped him ascend to President of Malawi. HH, can you for once get your act together…..awake and get some action done!!
I don’t know which cloth Kambwili is cut from but it sure is different from the rest of us. And this is the man that wants to be president? God forbid. Even saying Zambia would have gone to the dogs would be distrspectful to dogs. This man is untameable
@Madam Mushota, not cool. Kambili is just a Bullzazaa.
PF has taken us Zambians for granted. Let them be reminded, we are capable of carrying out a Thariri Square style! We are just civilised enough to not do it.
This Duracell Kambwili and Old Chipilipili Masebo are very shameful. They are going down with their Pa Fwaka party come 20 Jan 2015, the day we patiently waited for!
Flight HH2015! Zooooooooooooooooooooom into plot 1 for real Zambia’s Economic Development!
I think this pf chaps do not deserve another term in office how on earth can you have thugs like kabwili, masebo, and the kasolos to be in charge of the affairs of a country.
Only Miyanda can unity this country go go go General we are with you.
That Fat pig should be fired by the next President. He is very stupid. who does Kambwili think he can intimidate. His day will come. I think UNZA Students should sort him out.
It’s a shame to have such Nonsense. Now ZNBC have it, because they are also very stupid and favour the party in power. let’s see what will happen when HH wins.
Kabwili is a foool.
Anthony Kasolo should know better – I though you have been to school and could a professional albeit that you were just appointed in the current position. Going to school couldn’t help pal? You’re a disappointment to have acted as attributed in the article above. Desperation does not bring you power or get you elected
ZAMBIAN ARE FED UP WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF THESE THUGS WHO HAVE NO LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE. THIS COUNTRY BELONGS TO ALL OF US. I LOVE THE HERITAGE PARTY MANIFESTO IT TALKS ABOUT COMING TOGETHER AS A PEOPLE AND WORK TOGETHER REGARDLESS OF OUR POLITICAL ASSOCIATION.
I APPEAL TO ALL WELL MEANING ZAMBIANS TO VOTE GENERAL MIYANDA FOR REAL DEVELOPMENT, DISPLINE, FAITHFULNESS AND TRUE SERVANTWOOD.
Please tuleni na pin Kambwilis stomach. Its full of air! Crazy bufoon.
where is masebo finding the `gas` to splash at ba mudala ba Maduma??… some people are just cursed mwe!
Aiini imwe especially that Kenneth maduma is a very humble man. Where do you find the balls to attack such a one? Chishimba kambwili is a jackass period – descended from black tarzan – a clone of white tarzan who used to live in trees. You have not said the bit were he accused the news guys of being tongas and supporting upnd!
I think so too. Kambwili is a big, constipated, greasy jackass!
LOL. The things being said about Kambwili today are so hilarious. Where do you people pull all these jokes from? I dont have anything much to say today, please keep the jokes coming. When am done laughing at your jokes, I may also find inspiration for a good punchline for the dear Honourable.
KIKIKIKIKI……>YOU ARE RIGHT.
Clearly even ZNBC knows about the wind of change … am sorry PF, i used to be a staunch PF sympathizer but after the death my president, i can only see a bunch of bafoons fighting for power.
way to go…….HHHHHHHHHHHHH
Never thought that I would see the day that ZNBC would push back on long time abuses from sitting governments. I have to commend their stand and for bringing this out to the open. Viva Press Freedom!
The biggest culprit is Guy Scott. These two PF members abusing ZNBC staff are now close to Guy Scott.
If Guy Scott hands were free, he should have condenmed Kambwili and Masebo’s action.
Guy Scott, in his quest to support M’membe cartel will go down in history as the Greedy White Man who ruled in 21st Centuary Africa country of Zambia, in the same year Africa had Ebola, but we will end up worse politically, socially and economically because of Guy Scott support for Fred M’membe cartel that includes Masebo’s sweet heart.
History will judge Guy Scott rule of Zambia harsh.
God save us from this mania, Fred M’membe, Kabimba & Masebo cartel that wants to plunder, keep Zambians forever poor in the name of protecting PF constitution.
The truth will always prevail.
Can’t believe this is happening in this day and age. And we have the powers that be, Guy Scott etc, allowing this nonsense??
Guy scort we want to see you suspend Kambwili and Masebo for indiscipline, tumone kabili
The cartel is now desperate,kambwili has joined the cartel team,the will of the people will prevail.

So what is the difference between PF and UNIP? In the interest of fairness this ZNBC must be privatized. For Kambwili and Sylvia it is all a matter of self preservation and nothing else. Since we left UNZA she has never been gainfully employed other than politics that is why she has swung from one party to another. It is a shame such people make politics a career and will stoop so low to threaten professional people only doing their jobs. For some of you supporting such diabolical regimes you need a lobotomy. Thank you to Dr Mulwila for standing up to your institution not to be abused by politicians.
Is this another George Mpombo emerging.
Too many chiefs no Indians. Who on earth does Kambwili think he is threatening to fire ZNBS staff who has given him these powers? Isn’t he sports minister? He seems to have his tentacles everywhere. As for Anthony Kasolo shame on him walking around without a care when he has a murder hanging over him. Time to get rid of these savages enough is enough.
Let Maduma continue airing such news and if he is fired we zambians can protest until he is reinstated and ensure Kambwili is suspended from the party. We need democracy where people have the right to choose the best not pushed into propaganda.
Kenneth sue these idi.ots, you were just doing the job you were hired to do. They should also increase security at those premises. People should not just be walking in without an appointment or stating their business. People need to work in peace without fear and anxiety. Press freedom should be upheld.
Politics of intimidation disrespectful of the electorate who privileged these leaders with power they now abuse
The whole thing is getting out of hand. The best is to get rid of PF altogether and start afresh with sanity.
Professionals can’t be treated like this. The problem is that Late President (MHSRP) became President based on deceit and everyone thinks its so easy to become one, including the likes of Kambwili.
Zambia has got an opportunity to change the trends and set new standards on the Presidency.
Whoever wins, their name will not be Kambwili.
It is true every one thinks it is easy to be president here. that is why jackasses like chishimba kambwili and Sylvia masebo think they could. If rough and uncouth Michael sata became, why can’t we! Let it be known that we are not in awe of these riff-raffs who think they can bully us. We shall not be cowed by *****ic imbeciles!
Many thanks to the courageous ZNBC Board Chairperson for standing up to this animal behavior from our colleagues in PF. I know many more Zambians will start standing up against this oppression that we have experienced from the Panga Family in the last 3yrs. Unfortunately as we come close to the day of kicking them out office draws closer, they will become more brazen and violent – watch out bretheren. I m quiet surprised that Scott and the PF machinery could allow this kind of behaviour. If it is not checked, this is a recipe for disaster in Zambia

Presidential aspirant (Kambwili)?
Hule na chipondo can’t never umwaka wakuya wafika! viva Sata!
Trial # 13 please there is a stark difference between quiet and quite. Chizungu nichovuta maningi.
What’s your problem you muppet.Dont you know that some peoples fingers are too big for the phone screens.Dummy.
Hey dummy, there is a difference between “cobvuta” and “chovuta.”
As long as many people got the message. After all English is our second language. Besides, some people are too fast to express their sentiments and couldn’t be bothered to check grammar, kwati nimu klassi!
I really, really, really want PF to DIE!!!! They are the worst curse this country has ever been afflicted with! I am only happy that a lot of people who supported this bunch of twats are now seeing the light, specially on the Copperbelt where I reside. You a$$holes need to fcuking leave!!!
Sorry my friend. There´s no such Party in Zambia as PF. The one we have now is a new Party from Sata´s PF leftovers called the SUSPENDED PARTY!
@Dudelove
You win the internet today. Short message, colorful and to the point.
If you really want the P.F to leave, Copperbelt needs to change the way they vote. The province has one of the largest number of voters and anyone who wins the Copperbelt and Lusaka province vote can win the presidency. But the problem here is that Copperbelt unlike Lusaka votes on tribal lines, just like Southern Province (my Southern brethren insult me if you want for stating that fact). This time, the vote is not for a tribe, its to bring back the glory that the P.F has taken away from our economy. I hope we all realise that come January 20th. Lets vote for a better life for us all, not for a tribe.
Bo Inonge Wina (national security) maybe, but HH? I seriously doubt, just saying…. Kambwili has come to his senses and can see the bigger picture, roughly over 60 percent of our population is under the age of 15, and more Zambians are educated now more than ever. Scott is smart he has given Zambians the opportunity to live in a country where lawlessness by our so called leaders is punished (he has set the bar so high that it will be difficult for politicians to loot the country). Scott will now be heading to the convention with his head high knowing he has made history and archived what many have failed to do (am hundred percent sure that the PF members at the convention will receive Scott as a champion of democracy and rule of law, (they will all be shouting Boma ni Boma).
I have reservations about Scott. Have had them since day 1 of his faux-presidency
The ZNBC current board members’ testicles are made of real steel. Good statement and I wish Kambwili and his minions will learn to be civil.
I wish Kambwili and Masebo are arrested and CHARGED by the police for actions that cause a breach of the PEACE!
Or are these swines immune to the Laws of Zambia??
Some animals are more equal than others!
The ZNBC Board salutations! after which congratulations to remain bold and uphold integrity in the face of Kambwili the DOG of Scott! Kambwili you are a nonentity I challenge you to walk the streets of Cairo, you will be lynched because you have infuriated many. your tribal ranting is embarassing to state the least. ati I am charismatic! look at dull Kambwili he think being loud like an empty tin is charismatic! Kambwili note that the ZNBC board is NOT looking for jobs they are educated and elite group who cannot succumb to your nauseating stupid childish behavior. kambwili you are no different from Mile Sampa a very very dull young man who failed to read his maiden speech. I think Kambwili wali icikopo saana at primary and secondary school. ichimubili ubukalamba,.. amano nakalya iyoo!
Kambwili, Kambwili! Ba Slyvia the cobra is dead now your tails up like a dog on heat! PF heads will roll
Iwe ci Kambwili, just who do you think you are? There should be a clinical and comprehensive government reshuffle after the January, 2015, presidential by elections. People with unsavoury, uncouth characters and behaviour, such as Kambwili, must be removed from cabinet.
21hrs news my whole family of voters observed that and laughed it bad as works of the enemy to the 13million people of Zambia. How dare they do that? Thanks to the board for that bold decision and correction. The citizenry should be well informed. We urge ZNBC to do professionalism by informing the truth.
You cannot abuse people forever, good to see ZNBC reacting like this. Kambwili and Masebo are such a pain. These two (Kambwili and Masebo) i.diots need to be wiped out from Zambian politics.
Many of us Zambians like to pride ourselves because Zambia has been relatively peaceful on this continent that has known untold bloodshed. Now we know that peace came at a prize of us remaining child-like. We Zambians are such immature children. This cannot be denied.
You speak truth Nyau
sorry meant to say price not prize. Perhaps we can say the prize of our immaturity is peace, yeah?
Hon kambwili jus fire thez upnd cadres at znbc
And you wonder why Africa is undeveloped compared to other who not very long ago were backward e.g. Indenesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, India, etc. Look at Nigeria with all its oil wealth – still very primitive and the other day the position MPs were tear gassed!
Who accorded Mushota with the ‘blogger of the year’ title. Or was this the joke of the year?
Anyway, to all those that are objective, isn’t this shameful conduct by Kambwili and Masebo a vindication of all we have been saying about the PF? PF should not exist anymore. It is a danger to all that is civilized and will only drag the country further into the gutters if given another chance.
Imwe Fi PF your time is up.Abash politics of intimidation,bullying and lies.Abash PF,Viva Press freedom
mwanya!as for me and my family, we are voting wiser…
The dictator is long gone you have nothing to fear for 70 days…how can Maduma tolerate such insults as old as he is; what is wrong with us Zambians.. BUFFOONS like Kambwili and Masebo who dropped as a Minister for interface have no place in government. ..these have no place in this era.
Media freedom threatened by the greedy and loud mouthed boot-licker. Now spreading the misfortunes and infirmity of the dying party to ZNBC. We expect nothing less than equal coverage to disagreeing parties and opposition political parties and their rallies. That’s why we’re forced to pay ZNBC through Zesco thru our noses.
MISA zambia kindly investigate and castigate this fat thug/carder period. Leave Maduma alone; to run the institution the best way he can. Abash Kambwili and like cliques!
Bravo Dr. Joseph Katema!! Has minister in-charge, he authorized ZNBC board to issue that statement.
Did not know that. Accolades to Dr Katema!
Is this thing called Kambwili a human being or an animal from Angola?
animal! animal! animal! animal! animal! animal! animal! animal!
sorry about that. I tried to post a single word ‘animal’ but was told my message was too short.
some one should go and tell chi kambwili to go and screw his mother. This bufoon thinks this zambia is his mothers vaginna. He is a an embarassment to humanity and how i wish he can die and be buried among dogs or thrown in the sea. As for silvia am sure her critoris is being overworked right now coz its cojoined to her anus.
We all are irate about cimbwili’s conduct unbecoming, but I think we can keep his mother out of this.
So GS asked his private secretary to phone and insult Maduma. Then Kambwili and Masebo also joined the band wagon. To think some Zambians have been duped into believing that GS, Kambwili and the cartel are democratic because they are calling for a convention to select a leader says a lot about the calibre of most bloggers on this site. Tell me who exactly qualifies to go for the so called convention. Is it all members of the PF or what? Who will transport the delegates. I can for see GBM hiring all the buses and transporting his supporters as delegates. Is that the kind of democracy we want to see in Zambia? Surely not.
I, like you, have never bought into Guy Scott being the messiah. No sir, not even for 1 second.
When I first saw this Kambwili pig’s picture on LT, I made fun of him and at the time thought perhaps I had gone too far. Now I see he deserved the mockery and then some.
Dr John Mulwila, State Counsel
I am proud that I was your student in the LLM class in Corporate Governance.
You are a light in our legal profession. You really are an ardent human rights and corporate governance adherent.
I will forever be grateful for sitting in those law session where with ease and assurance you delved in ethics of corporate governance which you have fearlessly defended.
I announce to riff raffs Masebo and Kambwili that from this day know that I have forever withdrawn any little regard I had for them.
Infact there should be a fatwa issued to lynch these characters. Edgar Lungu should deal with these good for nothing bunch of idddiots. How do you dare insult a tribe from which you would like to solicit votes from. Infact PF tonga members should demand for a public apology from these stinking tribalists. Kasolo is a murderer and please Ba EDgar or HH revisit this issue after January 20.
First kudos to Dr Mulwila; you have scored a first. I don’t remember any board chairman standing up against politicians in the ruling party. So this is why Kasolo was appointed PF to serve a partisan agenda? As for Kambwili his days are numbered.
Someone who went to school with Silvia Masebo once told me that she was one of the brightest students. This goes to show that book-smart ain’t sh!t
People ‘icipuba will always be icipuba’ no matter how much you try to teach and change it.
Its true I sensed the biasness of ZNBC few days ago.They seem to giving too much publicity to the Mr Lungu/Inonge cartel because the minister of information is in this group.Kambwili had the right to protest.ZNBC should relly be careful and not be seen to give irrelevant publicity to one against the other.Ask for wisdom from Good and use your common sense.You/re giving too much publicty to SG Lungu more than acting president Dr Scot.To me it was so obvious and discussed it with a friend yesterday.You should ignore some irrelevant news.his is when I miss Chibamba Kanyamba.Pls ZNBC show some leadership.
Malepe ya bamayi bako
ba Pamwela, what I was implying is that being smart in school is not a guarantee that one will be smart in everything else. I personally know some PhDs who are ‘stupider’ than a sack of sweet potatoes.
Another reason to get rid of these dunderheads…
Kambwili remember what happened to William Banda after MMD lost? We are watching you!
Think about HH and his zambian watch Dog.
She was HOT with absentee landlords.’
Talk of kicks of a drying horse. Can tell this pf *****s that znbc does not belong to panga family. Znbc is funded by tax payers money
Mukaponokwa dozen edigar ngatakeminine pa pf
Christians know that God has in the past used signs to communicate to His people. In the case of Zambia, God has clearly shown His people why they should never again vote for PF. If God’s people in Zambia ignore these clear signs, they will have themselves to blame. We have exactly 56 days to vote out this group of evil people and liberate ourselves from their confusion and acts of evil.
Please stop this gibberish now.. leave God out of this rubbish since when has God been interested in politics. ..stop this laziness and use your unutilized brain to resolve problems.
Wake up! !
Jay, Jay, I am with you all the way. This idiocy of pooping on the living room floor and expecting God to come advise you on how to clean the sh!t up must stop. Can’t have adults behaving like retards in a sand box and ascribe the conduct to the act of god. Which god, if I may ask?
Id! ots.
I have known Maduma to be a very humble and God fearing man. When the late Peter Mweemba fell ill, it was Kenneth Maduma who took care of him because nobody else could. It really takes a dagger smoker to attack such a man who can hardly kill a fly. All workers Pay as You Earn to the Government and ZNBC is sponsored by Government using our hard earned money, so we are entitled to the news from any political Party coming from all corners of the country. Kambwili and Masebo should be condemned by all peace loving Zambians. I hope and pray that Guy Scott will take the necessary actions against these two blockheaded dolts.
How can Guy Scott who sent them and his private secretary condemn the trio. Please ba Zambia, wake up from slumber and hypnosis of this colonialist. Guy Scott is a danger to democracy. He is a slippery liar. Go to the archives and see how this old white man used to lie about the illness of Sata. Him and Kaseba had a plan working with cartel. Mark my words. All this is Guy foreigner Scott’s doing.
The fact that Sata and PF won the elections in 2011 is not a testament to their popularity or a credit to their performance. It is simply a reflection of just how bad RB and MMD had become. By 2011 MMD was a dying horse and RB was as useless as a loaded bucket from a portable latrine.
MENE , MENE, TEKEL, E-PHARSIN
MENE-God has numbered PF and has finished it
TEKEL-PF has been weighted on a scare and found wanting for lying to a christian nation (Zambia)
PERES-PF is divided and its place given to Lungu’s team and UPND
he who has an ear let him hear…
I think vote for PF was the worst mistake people of Zambia ever did, not even corrupt MMD went that far in openly abusing public media………………shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Tole Kambwili!!!!
Masebo sex addict. ubushiku ninga kupela you will sober up! I think Malupenga ala kushamo, afulukutapofye!
Clear case of desperation from the buffoon and lihule!
Well done Mr ZNBC Board Chairman – finally someone with balls and guts to STAND HIS LEGAL GROUND !! Megathumbs, we the people shall win – no matter what some misfits and misguided dick ‘n cunts think ! Zambia FOWARD !!
DR John Mulwili, you win EVERYTHING today
In Politics you have to act fast before any damage is caused.Do not forget Maduma is HH supporter he will use ZNBC to campaign for HH.Chibamba Kanyama lost his job in a similar manner.If Maduma is fired non of us will defend him.You have to be careful when you are a civil servant.
Point of correction my friend. You ought to know Chibamba Kanyama never lost his job at ZNBC as Director General. He resigned to join the IMF. If anything, he is strongly credited for balanced news coverage which we began to see a bit of in 2013. News is about balance, balance, balance and this was what he told us daily. We are now just trying to use the password though the pressure from the Minister of Information for us to project Lungu stories too strong.
This Maduma case is exactly what is wrong with having state controlled media – editorial independence comes under threat of such venal politicians.
Christians know that God has in the past used signs to communicate to His people. In the case of Zambia, God has clearly shown His people why they should never again vote for PF. If God’s people in Zambia ignore these clear signs, they will have themselves to blame. We have exactly 55 days to vote out this group of evil people and liberate ourselves from their confusion and acts of evil.
Shut up your mouth, we nsansala we!
Bloggers have totally woken up to Guy Scott. Comment after comment proof positive that the patriot within has sprung in action to protect Zambia.
Zambians need to understand that the white man of the colonialist era cannot change. What Scott is engineering is nothing but total disrespect for generous Zambians who welcomed warmly the idea of fairness to someone other than indigenous.
I don’t recognise the image painted of Chanda Kasolo intimidating ZNBC. In fact I cannot understand how Antony Kasolo as a legal counsel to Guy Scott in the High Court case has not been pulled up by our judiciary Discipling Board. There is clearly a breach of ethics and conflict of interests. How does he present in court a defence whilst taking part in ‘PF Hit Man,’ sorties on ZNBC?
Nyau my brother that is what we call voting with noses closed. Ati even if this carcass is smelly let us just take it because it is much better than MMD. Jay Jay and Sauzande I salute you for telling off people who want to invoke the name of God in politics. That is the FTJ effect where he declared the country a Christian nation, could even roll in the mud praising God while he was busy looting the Treasury. Zambians will never learn and that is why you Christians are so lazy to think for yourself because you are comforted by a so called next life (heaven & white Jesus) which will never come. Continue deluding yourselves that God will solve your problems and that is the precise reason why David Livingstone was busy exploring the mines for the BSA company while carrying a bible.
Maduma u work for govement mind u PF got u from street
I have always said Guy Scott is a treacherous racist white man who by way of pure deception had tricked our late President time and time again. Dr Scott you are clearly trying to force someone who is not the choice of the people in PF to become President, you are creating anarchy and an atmosphere that could explode just because of your stupidity and stubbornness, God help us. The PF’s choice is Lungu, we want Lungu not someone of your own choosing as a result of this impasse which you Dr Scott have created we might end up seeing this country being run by a bunch of corrupt tribalists in the form of UPND that will ruin this country and possibly plunge us into civil war, now you Dr Scott are in the same camp of the likes of Masebo, Kambwili and GBM all known plunderers.
Further more my UNZA brethren stand vindicated when they called Kambwili an *****…as a former monk I salute all UNZA students that stood up against this plunderer…true PF supporters are for Lungu..viva Edgar Lungu!! Abash useless white racists that are causing confusion in the nation…
This is confusion to let Masebo and Kambwili storm ZNBC.Now they have started registering delegates secretly.Is Scott a leader or what?What a useless Musungu!!!We told him that majority PF want EL but why do they want to impose miss Kaseba who will lose terribly.She is Mukafwilwa.Does really scott think?Why should he be controlled by the cartel?There will be chaos in the country if this man doesn’t behave.
Kambwili and masebo are not popular .Therefore,there are just wasting time coz they will lose election if Kaseba is adopted.I won’t vote for PF if Kaseba is adopted.Do u think we Bembas will be that stupid to vote for Kasebanya(Mukamfwilwa).She has no morals at all.In muchinga,luapula,northern everyone is shocked that she is standing.Bembas respect culture!!cartel for what!!Fuuuuuuuu
Kambwili , u think u are a star, your life is full of confusion , last time u issued threats to UNZA Students, now u are issuing threats to ZNBC.for u to be in ruling Govement, is not your effort as a party, but ZNBC made u popular and u won election because of the same media u are attacking today. Mr Maduma sir, u the man of integrity ,do yo professional job dont be controlled with these power hungry people. if u want sir, you can use the instrument that you have in your hand to decompaign them, so that they learn how to respect other people’s jobs.
KAMBWILI YOUR ARE : HYPOCRISY, Two-facedness , INSINCERITY double standards AND DUPLICITY PERSON .
I am praying for you Mr Maduma. The living God will vindicate you and protect you from these misguided and hopeless mortals. Weeping indeed may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Kambwili, Zambia is not your house nor are the Zambians you children whom you should determine as to what they eat, drink or listen to. Your days are seriously numbered unless you repent!!
Kambwili watusebanya. U are an embarrancement to the coming generation. U started well and people thought you were amomng the best but surprising you have joined the cartel. The same people you used to insult when your senses were working properly. Abash Kambwili!!!!!
Whereas, I do not support what the Minister did or behaved at Mass Media, however, I must say, media can fuel violence if their braodcasting is not balanced. We must all remember what happened in Rwanda prior to genocide, it is the media that fueled the entire butchering of one ethinic group against another. Those of us who have spent time working in war zone countries do understand how wars start. The way things are going could easily trigger in-fighting that will be difficult to stop.
We need to sober up.
FELLOW LT BLOGGERS PLEASE STOP ENCOURAGING THIS MUSHOTA CHARACTER ON THIS BLOG SHE IS MORE OF A DISTRACTION THAN CONSTRUCTIVE. IT IS REALLY SAD THAT PEOPLE LIKE HER WHO CLAIM TO BE VERY EDUCATED CAN VOMIT SUCH NONSENSE.
mwandi Jackson ulatukana, its just the same of insulting your own mother, if I may ask, bushe uwakufyele ninkonko nangu ni mbwa because you came out from your mother’s what ever you may call it. don’t use this bad language. Ngawalanda fye bwino umuntu kuti aumfwa, what about of those who are commenting, we are able to get their feelings, nomba iwe u always use this same language. I know you, you just change names. walikowela sana nokushama walishama.
Let vote these bunt of fools out from office, so that they face the law.
Masebo , kambwili, scott and the cartel must just behave themselves. We knew that these guys are up to something but slowly their evil schemes are being unveiled. We are watching closely.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
if a minister or senior gvt official behaved like kambwili and his cronies in europe he would be made to resign and his public life would be history. Am not sure where Mushota lives, may be Gibraulter
Thanks ba Lusaka times but y is the other inocent guy appealing in the picture? Y not Masebo and Kambwili or Masebo alone?
Honestly, Chishimba Kambwili’s unruly behavior he displayed has been condemned.
He is an aspiring presidential candidate who is contesting at the general conference.How are his fellow PF members going to vote for him?
If he is voted to power,he can easily become a dictator.He has shown it.We don’t need a dictator for a president.
Guysott should discipline this guy.
There should be a verifiable punishment meted out to people like Masebo, who proudly repeated at her press conference that she called Maduma ‘incompetent’. If she goes ‘Scott’ free it will definitely show that the whole PF is rotting from indiscipline and rule of the jungle.
the happenings are bad i hate GBV against the former first lady by Zambian populace and ZNBC ,PLUS ONLINE MEDIA
