SECOND Republican president Frederick Chiluba has said he will defend his statements against Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata even if he was dragged to court.
Dr Chiluba acknowledged yesterday, through his spokesperson Emmanuel Mwamba, that he had received a letter from Mr Sata’s lawyers demanding an apology for the allegations stated against him during a Press briefing.
Dr Chiluba said it was a gamble for Mr Sata to even threaten to take him to court over remarks he made at a Press briefing held at his residence on Sunday last week, and that he was ready to defend every statement.
According to a letter written to Dr Chiluba by Mr Sata’s lawyer John Mulwila from Ituna Partners, the law firm had been retained in connection with the alleged innuendos and remarks that were also published by the Times of Zambia.
Mr Sata was particularly concerned about the allegations by Dr Chiluba that he was dismissed by the Northern Rhodesia police force and that he was arrested and imprisoned because of some criminal offences committed in the police force.
He was further concerned about Dr Chiluba’s allegations at the same Press briefing that he led a polygamous life and had a relationship with a woman in Ndola, yet he was receiving Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.
And Mr Sata’s lawyer stated that the words complained of by his client were in no doubt defamatory and the estimation in which he stood in the opinion of others had been affected by false statements.
Dr Mulwila said the statements by Dr Chiluba were an infringement on Mr Sata’s rights.
Mr Sata was now demanding a retraction of the words by Dr Chiluba within seven days and an apology through an appropriate media approved by his lawyers.
He warned that legal proceedings would commence should a favourable response not be made.
Meanwhile, a Ndola-based Bank of Zambia (BoZ) employee alleged to have two children with Mr Sata has not been available to give her own side of the story following Dr Chiluba’s revelations.
A Times reporter who went to the BoZ regional offices in Ndola on Monday was initially informed that she was available but security personnel later made aU-turn and said she was not on duty.
Efforts by the Times yesterday to either see the woman at the offices or meet her at her residence in Itawa proved futile as the reporter was told that she had shifted to Kansenshi.
Later in the day, the reporter learnt, through further investigations that the woman had travelled out of town for official duties.

Is FTJ really a man of GOD! He even goes to appear on emmanuel TV and speaks good things but when he comes back he completely changes. There is something very wrong with this man. Let them go to court so that more stuff come out. I am sure the post will enlighten us. This kadoli needs our prayers. Since the death of LPM the ka chap has recovered from his heart condition, what a miracle!
Nanaka nama Politics yachilalu,plz Mr editor leteniko ilyashi limbi…
#1 whats emmanuel TV?
Kafupi has started fire that he will not put off. Sorry Kafupi, your hands are so dirty than Sata’s
Tough times lie ahead of these political giants. This tit for tat thing will change the political landscape in favour of one side, guess which one???
LT, you only get news from ZANIS and Times of Zambia,has this site become part of the government propaganda,whatever the case the better if its government controlled,then they will know what we really think of them,because obviously they read our comments
Ka chiluba ka shit,,,just a few weeks ago his spokesperson told us that he had his immunity automatically restored after his acquital,now he’s ready to meet Sata in court,whats immunity kanshi
Since when did this Zarare man get the health to be in court.I thought he is recuperating from some ficticious heart problem.Zambians should claim a refund from him over his fake medical trips
icibemba citila “akanwa kamilandu” he was acqiutted and now he has taken himself back into court. ala nobwipi bwine! this man is crazy mumangeni please:-?
Do people still Times? So the former head of state is ready to wash dirty linen in public? This man has no class!
In fact it is those innocent children that FTJ mentioned who should sue. As for the good bishop it is unfortunate that Catholic priests are forbiden from suing or taking legal action against anyone.
Chiluba kwena nausamwa bati. Only on day will make a difference. Bakakulutula ukapa saana mambala lyobe. I wish we had snippers to get this Kant down.
# Its a christian tv channel based in Nigeria. Many people from all over the world flock there for healing. Hope you get connected.
Do people still read Times? So the former head of state is ready to wash dirty linen in public. This man has no c l a s s. You wonder how a man like him managed to rule a country. Zambians reason yet again not to vote for Sata. A president/former president should rise above this cheap talk.
This is a midget who every one knows he forged papers. He has no cl a ss to start talking in public about children. He is lucky he is in a monkey country. Those children would have sued him for the millions he st ole. Lucky midget! Nansambu nomutima nomba naupola. Kalifye nga kolwe walelensala for 5 days elyo bamufukumwina mwibala lya nyanje. Nakuba takapepa nokupepa.
Bashi Mpundu, Emmanuel TV is a religious tv station broacasting from Nigeria. There is a Church called SCOAN or something where a prophet by the name of tb joshua performs all kinds of miracles, mr and mrs chiluba went for there for prayers sometime last year.
REPORTED FIVE TIMES: DELETED
Who is going benefit at the end of all this nosense.
This gutter politics at its best. Zambia needs new breed of politicians with economic discourse. So these two were busy chasing after women instead of developing this country. What a wasted 20 years of MMD. I can vomit if I continue. What legacy was Chiluba talking about? Grabbing wives and having cocumbines everywhere. Kapwepwe’s book (may that gallant son of Zambia’ soul rest in gracious peace) “Africa Twansebane” is true to Zambia today because of this type of playfulness among our leaders.
This is just ka DYONKO! I am sure we are yet to here more especially when nearing 2011.
I think Sata should stop this rot of threatening legal action against Chiluba and just spill the beans. Not long ago, this is what Sata said about Chiluba: “Chiluba will fail to take me on because Levy Mwanawasa left me enough ammunition when we met on May 14. Levy gave me information, which I did not know about this man and I will not let down the legacy of Levy. I have more damaging information on Chiluba and if he wants to take me on, let him attempt and I will finish him,” Mr Sata said. Let him just spill the damaging information now and not keep on threatening legal action for things we all know to be true, I mean, who doen’t know Sata is a horny thief?
Oh gosh ! Don chichi has now grown some wings.:-?
Going to the courts is not the answer. Face the man and the nation. Answer the allegations. If there is no issue people will judge. Is this how you hope to govern bytrying hide behind any legal technicality when challenged? It is simply a strategy to get issue from the public domain as while it is in court no when can publicly comment for fear of contempt charges. so if it drags till 2011 the chap escapes public scrutiny, that is what he hopes. Like all demagogues he is such a coward
Ulusapato ubutali kwati ni sukuna infwele
Chiluba is not mature in a lot of ways. Wynter Kabimba told him that his presidency was a flook and he should understand it from that point. Yes, truelly, in 1991, even a dog could win elections against KK because he had by any level of imagination outlived his useful mandate to Zambians. Now, for Chiluba after mwanawasa to claim he is as clean as he says, makes me doubt his sanity. How can a man who could not afford a suit in 1991 be so filthily rich and gather billions of dollars hidden in private accounts? Zambia’s wealth was in ZCCM, how can a man who destroyed Zambia’s cash cow be a cash cow himself? You must be insane not to understand what Chiluba’s motives are? Its not Sata, its not love for RBB, its not love for Regina, its his greediness. The man is mad and has a big selfish…
This man should thank his stars Levy died. He would have been in prison by now. To be honest, who ever played a part in his aquital should find themselves a place to live because this midget`s case will be reopened when MMD are sent packing. Watch this space.
Chiluba has already won this battle!
Yaku kanshi yali ni battle!:d
#22 & 23. Only poor people get arrested. Chiluba is a free man. He is a statesman. He is calling Mr. Sata to proceed with his legal action. We will meet Cobra in court. Chiluba! Nice shoes. Good luck with all the people calling FTJ names. MMD 4 LIFE. Nkani ya lula
This Chiluba cannot be trusted. Even RB must be wary of him because Chiluba is incapable of keeping secrets. Remember he revealed a state secret – the tunnels. So everyone who worked with Chiluba must be worried because very soon their secrets will be common knowledge. We really had a clown for a second republican president.
Guys – How do you put a picture on your name? Please help me Zambia. I want to put a picture like undertaker, MMD Chief Boot.
#27 Blue Blood – Ni bashikulu bandi ba Chiluba. How can you publicly say he is not trusted? He is a former head of state with top secrets. Sata should take FTJ to court, then Chiluba will expose Cobra.
:d Just seen the shoes after this mug talked abot them. If you were there in those days, they were called kunkudu!:d:d
Desipite a six inch heel the man still looks like a midget!:d
O what a tangled web he weaves. This little criminal of a poor excuse for a Man will continue to cause the country more problems than we can handle. He obviously feels confident going to court seeing as in how he is in cohorts with the powers that be, provided he campaigns for them. Chiluba can pull a crowd, just like people will rush to watch a clown or Chinyawu. RB is very mistaken if he thinks that there is any benefit to his relationship with hefty Jay. I suspect even these dealings with Katumbi are in some way linked to Hefty Jay (FTJ). From the perspective of International relations/National security, it is very unwise to involve in Shady dealings with a high ranking or (connected) person from a foriegn country. What would happen if Katumbi was thrown in Zambian Jail?
#26. MMD for life for sure. This is the only flexible party Zambia has ever had since 1964. I am looking forward to having RB wa muyaya if anything. The man is very intelligent and he does not respond back to insults. We are blessed with RB. Chwe chwe
Zambian Politics Indeed!
I would vote for that thug Sata, until someone better comes along but RB ( as Sheik) with FTJ( mine me).
Zambians forget so easly.I am yearning to hear the truth of late LPM resignation as Vice President.He told the post repoter while on holiday in mfuwe that he resigned as vice president coz Dr chiluba shielded Mr.Sata on reports of corruption.So what was Sata’s corruption did late LPM report to Dr.Chiluba?and why did Chiluba choose to shield Sata?.
#9 I read the Times of Zambia and NOT the Post. I stopped reading the post in 2008. I was an ardent fan of the Post and from its inception I bought the paper without fail everyday until the election campaigns of 2008. Now even when it is given to me free of charge I do not accept. I have some good friends at the Post but on a professional level I think it is a crap paper.

#20 Well said. I wish Chiluba could reveal more before the matter goes to court. Chiluba has a whole seven days to do that before Sata decides whether to proceed with legal action, according to Sata’s lawyer. But as we all know by now, Sata is a hot air coward. If he thought that he was standing on solid ground and he was serious about the court case he would simply have gone to court. I offer to bet K5,000,000 with anyone that Sata will do nothing come seven days from today. In any case can he afford a lawyer when he owes so much from his failed political experiments since 2001and he has to look after two modern mbumbas?
Eish Its good to be back after a long break. new and old bloggers how are you?
# 36 Kunda. You are long suffering. I stopped reading The Post in 2002. It is really a crap paper, even for the politically neutral.
FTJ and Sata should continue fighting. These 3rd Term perveyors did so much damage to Zambian politics. For selfish reason, Sata and FTJ changed the MMD consitution to allow a 3rd Term, and kicked out Miyanda, tembo, Nawakwi etc from the party. They were on their way to change Zambia’s consitution to allow FTJ a 3rd Term. It was us Zambians in general who stopped it – thru demonstrations, honking car horns etc. Sata and FTJ do not respect our national constitutions. These guys are thugs. Let them kill each other. Only an imbecile would want Sata to rule Zambia.
FTJ should finish Sata off, then go hand himself to the police.
Hear this one a man who knew he could not have an erection decided to wed under pressure. On the night before the wedding he drunk a lot of beer and as per tradition, the bride was delivered to him at night. Realizing that he could not consumate the marriage he “drunkenly” groaned “Oh Iam too drunk nkamuchita fye mailo musendeni.”
# 41 contd
If Sata and his friend FTJ did not wage war to impose FTJ’s 3rd Term on us, Mwanawasa would not have been our president. Nothing against him, I believe he did very well for Zambia. If LPM was not president, RB would not be president right now. Furthermore, there would be no FDD and no PF, as all these guys would still be in MMD. Most likely, we would have had Miyanda, Christon Tembo, Nawakwi and other more sane people than Sata as presidents of Zambia.
The 3rd Term bid really spinned Zambia’s political path into a different direction. Whether incumbent MMD big wigs would have made better presidents than LPM is debatable. But at least they put Sata in his place.
Current options, RB is a lesser devil than Sata. At least he’s predictable. HH best but not trustworthy.
#41 Sata should be arrested as well. Zambians forget easily. Take Chiluba to court and Sata will be in trouble by close of business.
#32 Thank you – We want matual politics than politics of the Pact. UPND sold to PF on basis of VEEP. Pact will never rule Zambia. Look at Western Province, its an MMD province. VIVA MMD
Those who dont read the post have no zambian paper to read. Which other paper? Because when i walk in town centre or anywhere i only see the post. Please help!:d
#32 you are saying RB does’nt insult back!! RB insults. Just a few quotes for you from RB speeches: “Vioneni vimasilu” accused the post of “Ubufi bwakunya” “A pack of snakes with two heads” “Sata is a snake with a red tongue” there is more. When this language is againts him he cries foul!
# 44 which Litunga, from chipata i guess. No tar roads in western provice no MMD. I am sure its a wet dream you just had.:d
# 39 Kunda. LOL. May be the mbumbas look after him. Or they look after themselves. Does he have money to provide for all of them and the children? He must be rich!!. Is he? LOL
As regards threaten court summons, if Sata doesnt go to the courts after 7 days, he will be humiliated. How can he make such threats before thinking? Everyone will laugh at him. It’s a non-win situation for him. Of course taking the matter to court will make more people get interested. The outcome may not be any less humiliating.
Reads like FTJ feels he has been humiliated by Sata. So he wants to land a big blow too. May be a knock out.
Big fight – heavy weight!
Uk-Zed Observer spot on, only an imbecile would want sata to rule Zambia. I mean after this what more do they want to hear. Chiluba has done our children and our childrens children a big favour, by destroying any political clout that this joker calledd Sata had left among morally right voters. I hear even his empty head followers at Kulima tower are laughing at him, and praising Chiluba what a joke. As it stands, he will never ever see what the presidential chair feels like NEVER IT IS THE END OF HIS LOUSY POLITICAL LIFE. attti 90 day formula, and even educated people believe. Viva Kafupi although I dont like you, I and many Zambians owe you one for this negative atmosphere you have created around the evil one.
# 49 Mwila You have made an interesting article to read. But the facts are wrong, Sata had two children but he is not married to the lady. He takes care of them as the law demands and Chiluba has not just discovered this now, it’s a well known public fact in Mr. Sata’s family and the lady’s. Kafupi on the other hand, started moving out with Regina when she was still married. Chiluba hounded princess Nakatindi Wina as chairlady of MMD and imposed Regina to pave the way to be seeing each other & sleeping at State house using party matters (before Regina was even divorced). Ask any MMD chap if they can refute Regina taking over unconstitutionaly from Mrs Wina & made her leave the MMD. Sata and HH throught pact are winning..so many Zambians have laughed at the Press conference as a time…
THE QUACK AND THE FOOL – SHOWDOWN
well said # 49 . How can a normal Zambian in his five senses vote for micheal chilufya king cobra satana.
why was he nick named king cobra? I guess he is a mini devil like a vermonous snake namesake. A person who grabs properties that he gave as gifts to girlfriends when sexual relations terminate.
RB must be enjoying this circus. Bring it on ba Sata, Kafupi is now healed, no heart condition to delay the long hand of the law, he is ready for you.
It’s funny how some people still think MMD is popular… “1991 repeat” in the making bane!!!
#49 Spot on-Wait for more I know that ftj is ready for Sata. It will be interesting. Have you seen hoe HH failed to address how he benefited through Grant T? Go on FTJ ichalo chileunfwa. Sata had been scr***ng around Lsk before marring Kaseba everybody who has been in Lsk knows.W Kab**mba talking about FTJ and Rejina what about him and Si***a Ma***o when they were in the council.Has he seen how that lady has finished healthy wise? even W K himself Kulwala kulya.Sata is finished politically and the Catholic should act its been long over due on Sata
Bye, bye Mr Sata – no presidency.
I hope ka chiluba and those advising him are aware that all information that came to him by virtue of his position as head of state belongs to the state and not to him; and that he will be committing a treasonable offence in disclosing such information in public, much the same way that Xavier Chungu could not and still cannot publicly discuss information that came to him in the performance of his duties as the countries chief spy because this would be against the Official Secrets Act. Ka chiluba has in the past shown a penchant for disregarding the Act as he clearly showed by his disclosure of the “tunnels” at State House when he became president.
CONT’D…That overzealousness is dangerous to the security of the nations. But then again, what do you expect when you have the likes of Shikapwasha advising you? Somebody needs to tell this cretin that he is not immune to prosecution for disclosing state secrets just because he is a former president.
#3 Shi Mpundu go to youtube type in chiluba fredrick or something related you will find him preaching. emmanuel Tv is one of the christian channels on satelite. I think its on intelsat even pas 7 but many no longer want to use Pas 7.
Mudala FTJ, amano yanono like his height. He has failed to follow the foot steps of mudala shi Panji to work for the suffering. This short man since he left office his new residence are the courts. This man cannot see that he has not added value to his life even after being a President for such a wonderful nation. Is it just his gene or probably his denial of his father is a curse to him? I suggest he visits Katele’s friends in Chiengi for some body wash. I don’t think ka mudala kalishama, kutumpa fye.
Kabolala alipola Levy alifwa. Mulekatinya nako at ‘Levy uyo, aisa’. Kuti mwamona ifyo kengatampa ukupolomya instead ya heart condition.
Ka chikala trying to divert attention. Ba Sata should not waste time with this chap….
#36 Kunda you are like me I lost confidence in the so called Post a long time ago when I realised that they were manipulators serving their own selfish interests rather than the masses. Take for instance the Zambian Air Ways saga and their link to LPM and the money. After babalishamo kuli Levy they started showering him with praise only even when things were not going well. And theie obsession with FTJ made me sick. And the way they want to drag people into their battles is sickening. I see through them. So I can’t waste my money on the Post
Can any honest person argue that RB Kanitundila doesn’t insult? My friend you have such a short memory or do you just want to force youeself to forget. Your tribal RB is a fowl mouth full of bad langwage not befitting a Pres. At least Sata is just frank and almost always says the truth, facts, he fears no one. he can handle anyone not with insults but facts. So stop lying about your RB an excuse for a President, I feel sorry for mother Zambia to be ruled by such a one who had no plan whatsoever. May God save us.
