      Because Sosala’s so called grandmother may not be a real Bemba woman. She claims to have been a freed Bemba sex slave who had been captured by the Ngonis and later released. That woman was never properly confirmed to have been “Bemba Royal” which is why Sata died believing that Sosala Kanyanta was never “Royal” and could NOT be the paramount chief!
      From the rantings of Kanyanta, we can all see that Sata was right after all. The “fake paramount chief” is into all the controversies – politics against UPND; begging publicly for benefits from Lungu; promoting fake Bemba superiority syndrome in Zambvia. No genuine royal person would cheapen themselves and sink themselves so low as Sosala Kanyanta

  1. This is the way it should be. Chiefs should feel respected and be allowed to visit each in other provinces . Weel done Chiefs

  2. No one was stopping chiefs from visiting each other or from attending each others ceremonies provided they were invited in their official capacities. There has never been any restrictions on the movement of chiefs since they are also citizens and enjoy free rights of movement. I don’t know what this sosala guy is so thankful for.
