Chief government spokesperson, Ronnie Shikapwasha, has accused some media institutions of trying to disturb relations between the government and diplomats accredited to Zambia.
Lieutenant general Shikapwasha says investigations have revealed that its not true that some diplomats have stated that they are not happy with the Zambian government, as reported by some media houses.
He says government had a meeting recently with the diplomats accredited to Zambia during which those mentioned as having issued media statements attacking government denied having done so.
General Shikapwasha who is also Information Minister, was speaking in an interview with ZNBC news in Lusaka on Tuesday.
He however appealed to diplomats in Zambia to adhere to rules.
Meanwhile, General Shikapwasha has said government will not extend the six month period for media bodies to come up with self regulation mechanism.
He said once the six month period elapses, government will introduce a media bill in parliament.
General Shikapwasha said the six months period was agreed upon by media bodies themselves.
He denied that government gave the six months period as an ultimatum.
And the Media bodies have maintained that they will not subscribe to the deadline given to them by government to come up with self regulation guidelines.
MISA Zambia says media bodies are still consulting widely over the matter.[quote]
MISA Chairperson, Henry Kabwe, says progress has so far been made in the on going consultations.
Mr. Kabwe says giving the media a deadline to formulate self regulation guidelines is against democratic principles.
And Press Association of Zambia -Vice Chairman, Amos Chanda, says the media will not work under threat.
He says already serious efforts are underway to find a way of putting in place self regulation guidelines.
Last Friday Parliamentary Chief Whip, Vernon Mwaanga, advised the media to adhere to the six months deadline given to them in which to come up with a set of regulations to guide the profession.
Mr. Mwaanga said if the media did not come up with self regulation mechanisms, parliament will support a bill which will be brought by government to regulate the press.

That picture again! It fits the headline like a hand in a glove. As for the accusations, I guess there’s no smoke without fire.
THE REV. IS REALLY TRYING HIS LEVEL BEST TO DEFEND THE GOVT AT ALL COST.
This is why i must confess i don’t see momentum or capacity to dislodge MMD in 2011.Insults and unsubstantiated allegation are only registering to voters immaturity and desperation in the opposition camp.Today i predict and stand to be vindicated Kasama and Solwezi MMD is wining.And that momentum will go all the way into 2011 RB victory.MMD will go to the convention and RB will win while Mpombo will be taking his fate.They are playing big time Machiavelli politics right in our eyes.opponents are knocking themselves while RB is in deafening silence but aligning the Party with Katele and party machinery. Look at Mpombo daily in the post when MMD convention votes are not in the post but constituencies.Has gone to the grassroot which RB and Katele are doing around the country? Big no
The Zambian opposition comes out very unpatriotic.its so keen to burn every Zambian life in quest for power.The move of foreign donors do not affect elites but the same voters.Look at Zimbabwe, has Mugabe gone despite lives lost? What happens is drift the nation into stalinist politics where civil liberties are squashed and strong man politics in charge.
The chief government brown nose is at it again. Stop embarrasing yourself old man! Why would medias quote diplomats,their names etc if it was all cooked up?! Let them come out and say that, not you-an old person who no one respects. Shame!
tired of this guy’s bootlickin…let him go n such his boss’s dick to show dat he really worships him..wat has the post done that he is scared of?publishing wat the diplomats said is a crime?hel no!!!!!and how did he become a rev?is he a rev like chiluba type?
This man, why cant he shut his big ugly mouth.
Why cant the same diplomats speak for themselves and refute the same allegations by the said media organizations,infact thats is a very serious and sensitive issue to quote and or misquote a diplomat,these same diplomats were quoted and if they did not say what was written,they should have come out to say they were misquoted,they dont have to wait for shikapwasha to defend them,they have press and media liaison officers to take care of such issue,,,if this is what it means to be a reverand,telling ubufi uwakunya,then i dont know where this world is going to
more embarrassment by these seemingly headless chickens of leaders. no logic, no coherence, no sense. do these guys ever think before they talk?
Kuku, I make the same observations. I was disappointed with HH’s comment in total defense of the diplomats. This is total immaturity or lack of experience like VJ stated. You do not align yourself with foreigner forces and expect the populace to support you regardless of circumstances – human beings are very territorial creatures — poor or complete absence of strategy on the part of the opposition. He must learn to handle these matters very carefully. Individuals who have ascended to power due to a putsch from foreign forces have always been rejected by the people. Come 2011 – wina azalila!!
#3 you are bang on right! i dont see any opposition dislodging the MMD in any election,what we are seeing are the Machiavellian political machinations of chiluba,he pays that scruffy young man chishimba who thinks he’s kapwepwe,to form a political party,thereby getting some voters from the opposition,no fanatical mmd will jump ship and join him,its the opposition,meanwhile mmd is getting stronger,he did it with Danny Pule when he formed PUDD,now we are seeing the ever talkative motor mouth in Mpombo,he is a seasoned politician with vast experience,eventually he will be banished from or resign from mmd,with him he will take a group of people,not from mmd,but the opposition,again weakening the oready weak opposition.RB brought back sick mwanga from the woodworks,next chiluba,rest…
Election are in 2011 it is a problem when leaders are only thinking of elections. They should be sorting out problems in Z. Running a country is not based on winning elections .MMD just won it is more important bloggers like #3 or #10 listen carefully to what visions HH or other potential leaders have for the country and not how likeable they are. John Major in Britain was not the best communicator or media favorite but the British economy improved immensly under his watch. People need to consider whoever they employ as president for Zed as someone who is running their billion dollar company. Would it be HH with his qualifications and past achievements in business or RB. Z needs proper debates like abroad to scrutinise what these leaders plan for Zed b4 they to office.THINK B4 U VOTE
I wonder whether this f o o l thinks before he opnes his big stinky mouth: “Shikapwasha accused media houses of lying about the diplomats story. He said government had a meeting recently with the diplomats accredited to Zambia during which those mentioned as having issued media statements attacking government denied having done so.” Ok, but look how he quickly contradicts himself: ” He however appealed to diplomats in Zambia to adhere to rules.” The British HC Alistair Harrison was literally quoted, he has not to date denied the quote. So what is Shika “Two Chickens” talking about? Boza mambala iwe uleke!
Mind Typo errors. #3 and #10 some of your analysis is correct. However, the Zed people are responsible for whom they elect. Everyone has relatives in the the village and need to explain to people what the consequences are when voting. If RB is their man and they think he will make Zambia prosperous tell your relatives…If HH will be the one who has a better plan for Zed educate your relatives. Let them not be swayed by tribalism, slogans, bribery and propaganda because it is their livelihood at stake. Everyone needs to take part and not put the pressure on a few people in Zambia for change. Smooth talk will not put food on your table or educate you but results. Indifference brings poverty.
Iwe chi Ronnie Fuseke!
There’s no shame in this bea****st, surely how can he say this?The day of reckoning is just around the corner,we shall see your snou**ts out of government.
OK great! Why then did Vernon Mwanga threaten and ask the diplomats not to rush to the media as doing so violates international standards? These same people working for the same govt contradict themselves. Even Ronaldo himself is contradicting himself in the same story – which rules is he refering to if they haven’t violated any? These guys really think Zambians are dumb who can buy anything they say! Do these men in govt ever admit any mistake?
Self regulating guidelines, six months is more than enough. I think they should have just given them a week, and what are the media bodies crying about six months?
Yes diplomats are upset about thses guys,maybe they were reminded who pays them,-HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE,Rb should always remember who supports the Budget every year and parliamentary emoluments,they should tell Zambians….
Iwe big nosed creature, ofcourse those diplomats cant say they said whatever they said to the post coz they did that in their individual capacity and out of sympathy for the poor taxpayer out there. Meeting with government at that level does not permit the issuance of such policy statements coz of the implications ot might have. Keep it in mind that they are not impressed by what you and your fellow RB minions are doing to this country.
These ”diplomats” should be concerned with the millions of there dollars that the Nchito Brothers have so far chewed. Mmembe is trying to hoodwink cadres from not seeing the real issue at hand.
These chaps have minted BIG TIME….!
If they cannot regulate themselves,let someone regulate them (Govt) period.Some media bodies in zed behave like political party!
Why don`t diplomats take the Post to court then? Sweep everything under the carpet type of politics! I feel sorry for people in Zambia.
This issue is just being blown out of proportion. Diplomats are just expressing their feelings over certain issues related to governance. They have a right to do so. As for Akon Shikapwasha, let him just shut up!
Those who wish to dislodge MMD are just wasting their precious time and resources. MMD is so powerful that you cannot dislocate it. I have gone round the country and saw how good the roads are taking shape. MMD is doing a very good job in the rural areas and people are very happy with these feeder roads. Come 2011, MMD will scoup elections with very big margin. Take it or leave it
#22 Shi-Michael i concur 100% with you. Its all simple. Mmembe is extremely bitter that akalilo for his pal Mutembo has been closed. Thats why he is trying by all means to draw the diplomats into his web so that people would rise against the government and thereafter make BOMA bow to pressure so that his friends could continue amassing wealth. The TASK force on corruption was an ill conceived idea from inception. It lacked objectivity as it just targeted an individual and yet there were rampant corrupt activities taking place behind the scenes. e.g the KAPOKO and Chitoba cases Thats why its unfair to continue insulting RB. Lets give him respect and a break. Lets avoid the TRAP set by Mmembe and friends for their selfish and personal gains. They have nuts to loose.
Shikapwasha supports anything without applying reason to it !
this guys face is all nose
ITS DRAMA PA ZED. CHAPS LIKE RONNIE CAN’T SURVIVE WITHOUT POLITICS. HE COULDN’T FIND MUCH IN CHURCH. TO SUSTAIN THAT NOSE WITH OXYGEN, HE NEEDS TO L I C K HIS BOSS’S SMELLY A S S.
#26 Sir Alcapone, i do not agree with you that Mmbembe can draw the diplomats into his web. The Post is trying to inform the nation of what is on the ground. What ba Shikapwasha is doing is purely propaganda. Mmbembe has got the heart for Zedian resources, but i do not see anything wrong at attacking your RB when he is going the wrong direction. Think twice or……….
yaba! LT has been taken over by OP. Some bloggers here are ranting like the rev-headless chickens
Had it not been for mmembe and tyhe post,we wouldnt have known that chiluba is a thief,we wouldnt have known that he grabbed someone else’s wife,kashiwa bulaya would have been a free man and all those army generals would have been enjoying their loot by now,we would have been subjected to the worst propaganda by the government and mmd controlled media,if the task force was ill concieved,reverend gladys nyirongo would still have been a minister up to now,the nchito brothers are succesful lawyers and i dont think they depend on the taskforce to survive,some of the reasoning by mmd caders is shocking,you even wonder how they got their purported MBA’s,the objective of the task force was to prosecute corrupt leaders and it archieved all that through all the convictions, except for one kafupi
Smoothcriminal-“Some of the reasoning by mmd caders is shocking,you even wonder how they got their purported MBA’s”.
Let alone three houses, two cars and a farm! lol
That’s your job. Come on defend the government at all cost Shika!
I KNOW SHIKAPWASHA AND HOW HE WAS LOCKED UP IN TANZANIA BY KK, AND EVENTUALLY BECAME AIRFORCE COMMANDER WHEN CHILUBA CAME IN POWDER COZ MWANAWASA’S WIFE ARE RELATED. HE MESSED UP ZAF, VEHICLES GOT LOST JUST ENTERING DAR. ZAF LOST PLANES. AND MANY MORE. HE IS WITH RB TODAY BUT I CAN ASSUE U HE IS A VERY DULL GENERAL, A BOOTLICKER NOWONDER HE HAS DUMPT MAUREEN. IT’S NOT ABOUT MMEMBE OR NCHITO. WAKE UP ZAMBIANS
You have to be very careful with Fred Mmembe. He is so desperate that he uses every available avenue to advance his agenda even if that comes at a cost to the country. I am positive these diplomats must be scorning him in their secret places.There is a whole world of a difference between reporting a news story and promoting a news story. I see the latter as being policy at the post.That news paper has ceased being a news paper it is a Mmembe propaganda machinery. Unfortunately, at the moment, the country does not have a tabloid that will report news in the manner it should. I do not know how the radio stations are fairing. There is a huge void that needs to be occupied by professional news casters.May be private radio stations must sieze the opportunity and feel the void.
Mmebmbe and his team are doing very good job. its the post that has exposed most of these corrupt politicians and not these mmd media (Times of zambia, ZNBC, Daily) whose chief editors are mmd cadres, RB and ba shikapwasha. There is no objectivity in any of these media, too shameful. Long live the Post that digs deeper!!!!!!!
Guys tekanyeni. bola panshi..mwalatuboilisha.. nala amba ukutukana.. freedom of expression is a fundermental right.. media regulation is a no no. government will not determine what I read or what I hear or radio.. like they do with ZNBC, Zambia daily mail & Times of Zambia. which we want privatised by the way. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. HO COULD ANY OF YOU YOU ARE SITTING IN PROGREESIVE COUNTRIES WITH FREEDOM OF PRINT SUPPORT THIS CRAP!!!!
MANY OF YOU SLAMMING FRED MMEMBE HAVE IT ALL WRONG. Do you understand what media regulation or any such bill means?????????? it means goverment reviewing and approving everything before a programme is run on Private TV ( MOBI, MOVI), Radio or anything is printed!!!!!!! basically .. everything we read or hear will be like ZNBC.. Press Freedom is core to any social and democratic progress. We have right o information.. Rupiah Banda and MMD is becoming a real threat to National security . This is how civil wars start.. because I like many zambians cannot take this anymore.. Thats why he went to Cuba
by the way Post is not the only media hou se targeted. if have been to Zambia.. You will find the MMD attacks on popular on Catholic run radio station s, Muvi TV, Sky FM-Monze, Radio Phoenix “let the people talk”. who all air call in programmes. people are not happy and express themselves.. now we should stop airing so called anti govt programmes.. RB whats wrong with you ??????
In my humble opinion, VJ was right to a certain extent to remind the diplomats of the diplomatic etiquette which needs to be followed under NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. However, the fact that diplomats are breaking with ettiquete shows the desperation of the situation. The diplomats made it clear that it was not their place to direct our judiciary, the merely pointed out their shock at how illogical the verdict was, considering the background which has been very public, as well as the evidence. Whether we like it or not, we cannot expect the British to subsidise our budget and yet we misuse their money. The role of the press is to inform and to educate. I believe the post is doing that, their involvement with ZA and Nchito notwithstanding.
ambia is not North Korea, Communist Cuba or Venezuela.. I have my rights and will choose to listen to what I want when I want where I want and who I want as my friends and not be harrased by police.. you cant even advise these chaps they throw you in court over bogus” pornography charges”.. unacceptable.. That parliament should vote against any such bill. I ve no hope in RB using his heart and brain for a change and veto and such bill…
ALA BANE ZAMBIA CHALO CHESU, LETS NOT LET THIS OUR ZED INTO THE HANDS OF THESE SELFISH CREATURES WHO AT ALL COST WOULD LIKE TO CEASE THE OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE OWNED MEDIA BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD THE TRUTH. REMEMBER TRUTH HATES!!!
I am not a jounalist but one thing I understand quite well is that in press freedom is included the element of REPORTING on anything and everything obviously within the cultural norms of the particular society.This freedom does not however include manufacturing news or biased reporting.At that point the news caster begins to violet the press freedom.The available avenue for that becomes freedom of expression.That leaves the realm of news casting and becomes an individuals expression of their views.Such an individual could either join politics, become an activist or something in that line. In this case considering Mmembe’s manner of reporting which largely falls within freedom of expression in my view he can’t continue holding that privileged position. Check the archives and you will…
#44.. You are so wrong. Why do not blind yourself.. At the end of the day all media houses across the world express a bias or inclination towards a certain view!!! You wach FOX news coverage of a particular event and then switch channels to CNN and hen switch channels to Euro news. totally different angled.. because all of them pursue totally different agenda’s politicall. Fox is clearly anti govt and ultra conservative. Even Im expressing a bias. Its human nature.Then your accusation that the Post manufactures stories. Which STORY HAS THE POST MANUFACTURED.. WHICH ONE!!.. who has brought Libel charges against them.. Maybe CHiluba is a thief!!. But not The FIrst Lady’s Payslip.. and not the NGO Diplomat issue.. have you been to Zambia??’ or you just talking..
Bane lets be careful with people like #44 who is the only jew who cant see what tramendous jobs Mmembe is doing. The Post do not manufacture any news, can you give an example with proof a story that was manufactured by the post???????????
#28 that is so funny! The opposition should come up with a plan. This RB team is going to be worse than FTJ and their little mafia. The frightening thing is that we are watching and can’t do anything. Who will we vote for, UNIP no way. PF/UPND what is tha party called. I really am worried about Zambia. RB has really embarassed and disappointed the nation and those who had faith in him to do the right thing. Anyone not in Zambia, have you thought about campaigning or sending a petition to allow Zambians abroad to vote. If we start now maybe they’ll listen. I have my voter’s card and reg. Would anybody be interested?
At the risk of courting controversy i would like views on the LAZ position in relation to Chiluba. Refer to lead story in Times of Zambia. I think the current LAZ leadership is inept, and failing in their responsibilities. They reacted too slowly to the Chiluba judgement circus and now they want to admonish Lawyers who were quick to comment. How come the other lawyers did not need as much time to study the judgement? Lungu, LAZ, chairperson says LAZ will not tolerate Lawyers “championing their own cause through the profession”. How is a Lawyer expressing his personal professional opinion punishable? Who the “bleep” does Lungu think he is? Power corrupts indeed.
In Africa, we do not have the sense of the absurd like bazungu banzatu.
Opposition Political are just causing havoc in the nation. Why are they insinuating donors to stop support to zambia if they care above zambians? You need to open your minds you people.
You are all machimbwi no plan but yapping yapping yapping untill Jesus come.Who is that alternative to RB? Its yapping yapping yaping as usual.
What does Shikapwasha mean when he says the Media should regulate itself? For me, this thing of self-regulation is just a ploy by the MMD government so silence the freedom of expression. You cannot expect any media to be infallible. Even BBC and CNN make mistakes and are biased in one way or another. The only thing the government can do is to fight the media in court if it sees that in one way or another, the media has erred. Its too vague to think that one can regulate the media and its too presumptuous to think that the media can be perfect. Even Times of Zambia and Daily Mail are too biased and they report false things to keep the MMD in power! Self regulation for the media is an excuse to curtail freedom of expression. Abash Shikapwasha! Abash ruthless MMD!
Media is a word that has come to mean bad journalism, Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.The government sees that social problems are becoming acute and more widespread, and are worried more media freedom to report on them will end up aggravating the situation.Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of mass media, property rights — all those basic elements of a civilized society will be safely protected by the state.
Jamal :signing off
#51 What plan do you have exactly as you knock down others for questioning? It seems that you are the hyena with no plan going by your chosen name. I take it whilst you’re in America you’re quite happy to have a president like the one we have. The funny thing is there are alternatives. However they have seen what has happened to people when they try and enter politics! It beggars belief how some of these politicians behave, I would be embarassed to be associated with them. Same goes with seasoned politicians who were busy advocating for a 3rd term. There has to be a better alternative than RB within MMD but you can see the greed in the Executive’s eyes.
What is Sikota doing with Kanitundila in Cuba?
Do some of you zambians who are constantly trying to blame the post and now the diplomats actually understand what this whole thing is about. The very fact that shika talks without thinking by saying yes and no in the same sentence makes me think that he somebody else’s mouthpiece who speaks without his own opinion, and some of you bloggers are doing the same.
Analyze issues first and try to read between the lines. This is bad for zambia.
These leaders encourage poverty so that people can beg from them and in turn people would then be manipulated.
Please say the truth and good governance prevail in zambia.
Simon # 48 You have a very BIG problem. Hell knows whether you think straight. Do not admonish the learned lawyer Mr Lungu. You can never compare to him. You are far behind. Most of your contribution can be attributed to those stories that vagabonds get from taverns. Problem is that you are so obsessed with one person. Look beyond that angle.
Whether diplomats mentioned anything or not.True or force,As per international law.Diplomats don’t need to open their mouths on matters concerning the country to which they are commissioned or sent as representatives of their countries.They as donors or whatever we call them,are there to advise their governments on what needs to be done and the like.We do not open our stincky mouths in their countries.Full-stop.
HH talks too much sense always.But for this…nope.Not at all will support this one.So when ruling us he will allow foreign envoys to stand and say a word for or against the government?
Underdog?
57 Sir Alcapone. You are entitled to your opinion. I happen to know for a fact that i am more educated than Mr Lungu, but that is besides the point. Lungu cannot stifle other members views as long as when they give the views they do so in their personal capacity. Who said being a Lawyer in Zambia means you are now a slave to Laz? Lungu himself says that some of those Lawyers are senior, more experienced, and leaders. So does being LAZ president suddenly make him wiser than them? Dont forget that even Kunda was Laz president and he is not immune to foolish statements, and stances.
Even a small kid knows there is something wrong going on somewhere.SO please Ba Shikapwasha try to be quiet on other issues.You don’t need to say diplomats this and that nope.Just prove your stance by doing what is expected of you.Let other people see your works and not words.As the saying goes on.”Actions speak louder than words.”That is what we all development .
Gordon Brown has shrugged off the Sun’s decision to back the Conservatives at the next election by insisting “it is people that decide elections”.
The newspaper’s front page on Wednesday is headlined “Labour’s Lost it”.
The tabloid backed Labour in the 1997, 2001 and 2005 elections but the prime minister said: “It’s the British people’s views I’m interested in.
Source: bbcnews.co.uk
This shows that with media freedom, a news organisation can be biased and anti govt.
#62 contd.
While the decision was unwelcome for Mr Brown, he did not expect the Sun to be as vocal in its criticism of the prime minister as it had been of Labour leader Neil Kinnock in 1992 when the paper claimed to have swayed the outcome of the election.
Former Labour deputy leader Margaret Beckett said the Sun’s switch was a “problem” for the party but not “insurmountable”.
And deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman told the conference that while the party was angry at The Sun they would “not be bullied… let us say don’t get bitter, get better, don’t get mad get mobilised”.
George Pascoe-Watson, the Sun’s political editor, said it had given Labour “one last chance” in 2005 but now felt it was time for a new government.
# 36 # 44 do you know what media regulation implies in an African set up. It’s aimed at stemming information from reaching the electorate. African leaders thrive if the general populace is ill informed and cowed into submission by threats. That way no one will question their misrule, corruption, nepotism and cruelty. An informed citizenry will demand accountability and that’s the bane of many African leaders.
Look at Zim their slide down Oblivion Avenue began with gagging the media. Today Mugabe is such a tyrant because no news organization can freely report what’s obtaining on the ground. The citizens are under constant threats and harassment, the regime continues with impunity.
Maybe that’s why RBB is friends with Mugabe. He feels such a dictatorship is the best way to run a…
#22 and #26. Govt regulated media creates Dictatorship. You do not realise what freedom of speech you have until it is gone. Democracy is about freedom of expression. You are blogging your opinion…I don’t agree with it but it is your right. People are not forced to watch a certain TV channel or read a particular newspaper. The problem with some old school mindsets they are used to colonial mentality where whoever is in power is always correct. A different view in media provides checks and balances. Most Govts tend to use propaganda If you have the wrong leader in the future like Hitler….the absence of an opposing view can create a monster.
iwe shikapwasha shut up!
nonsense in Zed!!!! Meanwhile people are dying of poverty!!!! Shikapwasha are you really normal?????
You know , what our politicians dont know is that Zambians are frastrated with the way our govt is runing the country,, therefore no amount of defence will do to keep people from talking about the evils of this team of leaders . we want development in our nation and not just talking we are fed up just imagine after 45years where are we going? no progress
number 57 dont you know that vagabonds in tervens are also part of the Zambian community ? infact they are more influential among the people in the nation than any of us bloggers
#57 Sir Alcapone leave the boy alone. He is entitled to his own opinion. You started this yeterday and I lost respect for you when you started being petty talking about your MBAs, cars, three houses and a farm. What a plonker you are! You are very childish. Leave Simon alone. The boy has made very good contributions compared to your tripe which of course is driven by the fact that you have to keep your job. MBAs are easy to get nowadays we know but please spare us your nonsense.
Alcapone,I wonder if you truely have an MBA,you are so petty and too blond to ave an mba
Lets have more information, so people would know the truth and vote for whoever they they think based on that. Who doesnt know that the reason why corrupt inept leaders have thrived and ammassed simply because information is scarce. There’s nothing like too much information, let the people speak.
I cant wait for that optic fibre network to fire up. I cant wait for those cheap PCs to reach the people in their own language to hear about what happened in Lusaka Kitwe Ndola Mongu kalabo Chipata Lundazi Solwezi Mpulungu Kasama Nakonde Mpika Mkushi Serenje mansa Milenje.
Guys you forget what made you free to contribute here, information is power. My Zambia is disadvantage because information is through rumours let the debate be ope everywhere. Thanks Lusaka times for encouraging this…
A gvnt regulated media will bring about dictatorial tendencies. We are slowly going back to the UNIP days where most freedoms(speech,association) were trampled on.
I’ve just seen a picture of RB wearing only a skirt and beads in Swaziland with King Mswati. has anyone else seen it? I’m seriously doubting his sanity and you say Chansa Kabwela is guilty of circulating porn? I wonder what Thandiwe thinks of her husband posing half naked.
Smoothcriminal # 71, at least am lucky i cannot associate with a character like you. Your pseudonym alone tells plenty. You are some little excited and misguided flick. Its very unfortunate that are you making and commenting on matters that you have on the least even taken time to read and analyse. Worse your source is extremely biased coz its all from one source the POST. If you want a copy of the judgement i would be pleased to pass it on to you though its going to be some sheer waste considering the low nature of your caliber. Take time to understand issues before you conclude. its a pity that you find studying extremely boring. Am one of the few individuals who have been gifted with the ability to read and research widely and thats why when am blogging i tend to be very objective.
What will happen to the Rev when he leaves Govt?
#75 yOUR CHOICE OF NAME IS ALSO VERY BAD. LEAVE THE SMOOTH CRIMINAL ALONE. ALCAPONE IS NOT A NAME ONE WOULD PROUDLY ASSOCIATE WITH. BY THE WAY THIS ALCAPONE WAS ANTI NEGRO.
Yeah, which church will accept this man that is full of lies ?
