Miles Sampa, President of the Patriotic Front (PF), took a casual stop at Lilanda market after attending a church service in Matero on Sunday. Despite the ongoing heatwave, Sampa opted for a local eatery inside the market, showcasing his down-to-earth approach.
The small restaurant, lacking proper ventilation with minimal windows, did not deter Sampa from relishing a traditional Zambian meal of nshima. In a light-hearted manner, Sampa expressed that the heat was a minor inconvenience compared to the enjoyment of the meal.
“After attending church service in Matero today, we stopped to eat nshima at a small restaurant inside Lilanda market. It hardly had windows, and in this heat wave, twachipiba panono. This did not bother us from enjoying the ka nshima with all we found present,” Sampa shared on social media.
The PF President continued his interaction with the community by exploring Lilanda market, engaging with micro-scale traders, and purchasing vegetables. Sampa’s impromptu visit aimed at connecting with local traders and fostering a sense of community engagement.
“This morning, for our Sunday service, we congregated at the Bread of Life Blessings Centre in Matero,” Sampa mentioned, highlighting the church service that preceded his visit to Lilanda market.
Miles Sampa’s approach to grassroots engagement aligns with his commitment to connecting with the people at a personal level. By participating in everyday activities such as sharing a meal at a local market, he seeks to reinforce a sense of relatability and accessibility with the community.
The PF President’s unscripted visit adds a touch of informality to his public image, resonating with a broader audience and showcasing a leader willing to immerse himself in the daily experiences of ordinary citizens.
Miles knows that he is miles away from being a serious contender for presidency. He is using very cheap and outdated methods of campaigning.
Imingalato is working.
Kikikikikiki! Kwena I remember Kilometres Sampa inamunyokola njala when he quit PF. All the time he had the mentality that Zambia was a kingdom and since Uncle Sata had been ruling and was now gone, the natural successor would have to be Kilometers Sampa. That’s how Bembas succeed their Chitimukulu.
But the people of Zambia told him he could migrate to Eswatini, Morocco or North Korea because here, they believed in Democracy. Sad Sampa then decided on another plan: Go back on his knees, drop some crocodile tears and find a way to his destined leadership: This the Presidency of the PF and naturally Zambia.
End of Part I???
Kalemba is the only media company that continues to refer to Miles Sampa as PF president. Shameful private media that is in the hands of the UPND.
I do hope our courts out a stop to this nonsense of Miles Sampa parading himself as PF president.
Woe unto me, when I find myself trying to defend the PF from the UPND. Such a sad state of affairs with what is happening to our democracy.
And Zambia Police are nowhere to be seen! If Lusambo stops for Sunda Station in Kabwe they will appear from nowhere. Same as if Lungu wants to attend Tutwa Ngulube’s memorial a fully armed para-military battallion will emerge from somewhere to halt the event!
And Ba LUNGU is nowhere to be heard or seen, so what is he bringing to the table? Mr Lungu created the scenario that enabled Miles Sampa to do what he did.
Stop Forcing things! Miles is not leader of PF. He commands no following………..
who the leader of PF is then if not Miles Sampa ?
Who is the leader of PF then, since Lungu had resigned and went into retirement?
IT IS HIS LEGAL RIGHT UNTIL THE COURTS SAY OTHERWISE
AND STOP BRINGING UPND INTO THIS OTHERWISE BRING TANGABLE PROOF
Tangable proof No. However, tangible proof will be presented in court
who the leader of PF is then if not Miles Sampa ?
The naked eyes give the proof you are looking for. If you are blinded by power, wait until you lose it for you to see. For now, enjoy your democracy.
@ Michael Sanzhe,
The same question here.
Lungu had resigned, so he can not automatically become PF President? Lubinda is not based on court order. So who is PF Leader then?
Very exciting indeed. Miles Sampa is a force to reckon with. It reminds me of the day in 1971 when the most popular leader at that Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe with his UPP visited Kitwe. It was like an earthquake. And he was a biggest challenge and threat to then dorminant UNIP/KK. Unfortunately the UNIP cadres under Michael Sata and William Banda decided to beat him.It was ver sad. UPP had also intolerant members like the father to Kelvin Bwalya. Who went as far as burning a building where UNIP members were gathering. Deaths were a result. As a result UPP was banned. And a one party state was now a fact.
I like history, and that is an interesting story. But comparing Miles Sampa to Kapwepwe is an insult mudala. I almost insulted you Ba Phiri, but I realized that you are older than me.
Nostradamus! You mean there are still people like you in Zambia!!! People who respect elders!!! On this platform cluttered with the likes of profanity wielding Spaka, I hate Kaizer, Gatsby, Tikki Kaizar Zulu? Perhaps Zambia has some hope.
Hybrid you and that tonga boy hasmuel haphiri are just big f00ls. I don’t respect f00ls just because they are older than me. Fuseke
And I quote “Sampa, President of the Patriotic Front Party (PF)…” Sorry guys
A childish desperate little boy. I remember when my late father MCS said to me that this boy miles will never rule this country. That he is not destined to rule. I now see what he meant
Atleast he works in the open
unlike the C0*kroach working under the cover of darkness
and when the time comes for a convention another 6 will be put forward
so fun and games still to come
@Tikki: Just before the cock-roaches come out, UPND should put a temporary halt on the importation, distribution or sale of insecticide. These ones only know how to fight, and I will fight anyone who fights to stop them from fighting each other.
Sold his soul to the devil…in Bemba we say icikwanka ba cimwena kuma mpalanya…. meaning signs can tell you who is going to betray you,… Sampa joined Hakainde Hichilema just months after Edgar Lungu became president. Later after tasting poverty he uturned to rejoin PF literally on his fours pleading…. people should have just told him to stay with Upnd. He’s not different from Kambwili where mental instability is concerned.
@Deja Vu: Go to hell. A) We do not understand your language, and are not interested in knowing it B)Stop blaming other people for your failures. This is your fault alone. UPND and HH have nothing to do with Sampa or MMD/PF. You mathafakas will and deserve to go to jail for the looting of Zambia. HH does not care about your asses. He is working for Zambia free of charge to fix the mess you made by looting the US $4billion you found in the national reserves and the US $33 billion you borrowed and looted. Get the f@ck out of here mishanga boy
Kikikikikiki! Kwena I remember Kilometres Sampa inamunyokola njala when he quit PF. All the time he had the mentality that Zambia was a kingdom and since Uncle Sata had been ruling and was now gone, the natural successor would have to be Kilometers Sampa.

SAMPA THIS AND SAMPA
ALL SPECULATION LIKE A LOT OF COMMENTS ON HERE
Miles Sampa is just an attention seeker and he is enjoying the limelight and the drama and its very clear that he is being used by UPND…he is such a loser….here in the USA Politics is being business…no fooling around no unnecessary drama…..Zambia we joke too much
The Kwacha is at K25 to the USD and you clowns at Lusaka times can’t even be running daily articles in this very important economic subject!
It is not a partisan issue to discuss our failing economy, we need to be honest and begin to address this issues for the sake of all regardless of one’s political leanings. I myself might be a UPND supporter but I want to know why the Kwacha continues to slump despite all the news we keep hearing of billions of dollars of investment.
Hamasaka and his team have taken over Lusaka times. Can’t you see all articles are Upnd praise singing?
Oh, not that Vision2020!
Parliament was denied chance to discuss the eroding Kwacha. An MP was asked to put it in writing in stead and channel it confidentially to minister of finance. From the time the debt talks stalled, no government comment has come forth. And you pray that LT brings it on their platform publicly? Just believe VP assurances that the Kwacha will rebound like it did when they took office; prices have to go up before they come down. That’s UPND for you and all. Disappoint.
@My Zambia: Under Kaunda it went to 200:1 or more. The economic mess PF created is 100 worse the problems under Kaunda. The PF kalya-nyokos found Zambia owning US $4 billion in its reserves and looted that money. They borrowed US $33 billion and looted that money. The first Eurobonds taken by Michael Sata required payment for 10 years, equally the bond amount, which did not affect the amount borrowed. The 3 bonds have matured and Zambia needs to pay the US $2.95 billion amount in full right now. There is another US $30 billion in borrowed and looted money that needs loan servicing also. Since the PF mathafakas reduced the GDP of Zamiba from $28 billion to $22.15 billion, we cannot pay the loans… to be continued
@My Zambia: Zambia now has more than 20 million people with PF have mysteriously added another 5 million. We have more debt, less assets/ money, and more people to feed. You work out that equation tell me how it turns out. This is not HH’s fault at all. This is the fault of PF all the way. This is a case of grandy larceny and gross dereliction of duty. We are f@cked as a country. The last time we had a debt crisis, George Bush, Tony Blair and the musician Bono organised debt forgiveness. Mwanawassa and Magande took Zambia through painful belt tightening to qualify for the relief. This time, no one is coming to our salvation. The debtors are coming for the whole body, no just a pound of fless. We are in trouble
Aba f1k4la have just come to destroy Zambia. Especially the one who has a head which looks like some water melon….he spends all the time on propaganda as people can’t see for themselves.
we are watching. Zambia is bigger than all of us. do not destroy zambia’s democracy
Zambia agreed to give bondholders 20 percent more than what bilateral lenders received. This was on the backdrop of us having clinched a good progressive deal on our indebtedness with bilateral creditors with almost 50% haircut. Zambia breached the Comparability Principle agreed upon at Paris Club. Regrettably, when the BondDeal failed, the BilateralDeal crumbled like a sand castle too. Secrecy, carefree and a casual approach to national matters killed a well thought out plan, and ultimately sending the kwacha to the dustbin to trade at K25 to $. This means currencies regulate themselves based on trust to pay the bear on demand.
Why should Milez eating nshima be news?
napakulwa alechinga umunakwe
All Zambians know that Sampa was just one of the nine presidential candidates who paid k200,000 , to compete with others for the post of PF party president , and up to now that is what every sane Zambian know , no competitor runs a race a lone and says he has worn a race that is total madness, and those who say he worn they are equally corrupt and mad.
Kalemba is one of the corrupt institutions I say so because as far as we the eight candidates who paid the k200,000 were not in the competition
The state has connived with Sampa to steal the variious candidates’ K200,000s
As one of the eight candidates who paid the k200,000, what is it that you paid that money for?
To reserve the seat for LUNGU?
I am sorry, but that is total madness.
…….
Miles Sampa is a peoples person……….
Those saying he does not have support are just bitter because he dribbled and outplayed all the theives in the PF clique……….
While they were all still looking at lungu for monies that were stolen, Sampa outplayed them……….
You are so jaundiced. You are just inclined to enjoying the confusion you have sworn in PF
PF is going thru a metamorphosis. The monstrous and toxic character is slowly but surely being discarded. Let me end here for now.
Instead of cleaning up the environment he is contributing to its decay. Just look at that eating place-and call yourselves a civilised nation????
We have never called ourselves a civilised nation we a long way from that, Africa is still in the middle ages
Look at SA everythig broken massive load shedding here,now massive water problems and who is getting the blame the people a non exsistant rail network as well
fortunately no one argue against this …
Ubwali served pangungulu Sure!!!!
Elyo table cloth lisaka! Yangu!
Typical of self-centred Miles, his hands with water dripping from them are all over the four plus lumps of Nshima. Leaving the other man wondering as to where he should place his fingers. Eating Nshima with Miles is like playing Nsolo. At least, Nsolo has rules. Not the way Miles wants to do mingalato to the other person over Nshima. Miles ni katubi!
This country is not seroius. We have people underground days, day kwacha is already celebrating chrismas and Hamasaka thinks it is more important to write an about someone eating Nshima in the dirt. I had to rad whole article just try and find some sense it it.
In modern days, a meal is much more than just a means of sustenance; it has become a cultural, social, and even a political statement. With the rise of food awareness, the concept of a meal has evolved to encompass not only the nutritional aspect but also the source, preparation, and environmental impact of the food we consume. People are more conscious of where their food comes from, how it’s produced, and how it affects their health and the world around them.
Church is ma Rubbish. visit factories, farms, mines and people producing things that produce things and things that can produce little things that can be fitted into little and little things and again. German is the third world biggest economy with only less than 100 million people. They produce not just cars but little thing that need to enter into little things that you need to go into little things and other little things.
