Chief Government Spokesperson, Ronnie Shikapwasha has accused Patriotic Front (PF) President Michael Sata of trying to gain political mileage out of the death of Mpulungu Member of Parliament Lameck Chibombamilimo. Lieutenant General Shikapwasha said while the nation was mourning the death of the MP, Mr. Sata was busy without remorse engaging in cheap and selfless political rhetoric over his death.
Mr. Sata was today quoted in the Post newspaper as saying President Banda’s wish to eliminate Lameck Chibombamilimo has been fulfilled. Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha described as un-Zambian, unethical and unacceptable Mr. Sata’s conduct.
Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha said this in a statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today. He has since advised Mr. Sata to leave politics out the death of the former MP so that the nation could mourn his death in peace.
“It is shocking that while the nation is engulfed in grief and sorrow over the passing on of one of its nationals, Mr. Sata without remorse chooses to engage in cheap and selfish political rhetoric. This is un-Zambia, unethical and unacceptable,” Lt. Gen Shikapwasha said.
Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha who is also Information and Broadcasting Services Minister said President Banda as a father of the nation cared for all Zambians including Mr. Sata. He emphasized that it was out of this care that he sanctioned the evacuation of Mr. Chimbombamilimo for specialist treatment to India.
He added that Mr. Sata also benefited from the government intervention when he was flown for specialist treatment in South Africa in 2007. “Lest he has forgotten, Mr. Sata himself is a beneficiary of government intervention when he was flown to South Africa for specialist treatment a few years ago no one politicized his evacuation as he is doing” Lt. Gen Shikapwasha said.
Meanwhile, Body of the late Mpulungu MMD Member of Parliament (MP) Lameck Chibombamilimo arrived today at Lusaka International Airport aboard an Ethiopian Airways at 14:55 hours. Mr. Chibombamilimo, who is also former Energy Deputy Minister, died in the early hours of yesterday due to a kidney failure.
The late Chibombamilimo was evacuated recently by government to India at Apollo Hospital in New Delhi for specialist treatment where he died. The body of the late Mpulungu MMD MP was received by Foreign Affairs Minister Kabinga Mpande, Minister of Health Kapembwa Simbao and Lusaka Province Minister Charles Shawa.
Others who were at hand to receive the body are Tourism Minister Catherine Namugala, MMD National Chairman Michael Mabenga, Deputy Minister in the Office of the Vice President Guston Sichilima, Patriotic Front President Micheal Sata and other MMD and leaders from opposition political parties.
And in receiving the body, MMD Lusaka Central Constituency Chairperson, Chilekwa Munkonge said the party will try to avoid differences with the opposition Patriotic Front as this was a time of mourning. Mr. Munkonge noted that funerals were supposed to bring people together regardless of their political affiliation hence the need for everyone to behave as a mourner and not cadre.
He hoped that the bad behavior the PF cadres exhibited at the airport would not be extended to the funeral house or to Northern Province if the body would be transported and buried there.
And Mandevu PF Member of Parliament Jean Kapata said her party is saddened by the death of Mr. Chibombamilimo. Ms Kapata said the death of the late MP was not only a great loss not only to the MMD but the country as a whole. She noted that the PF would have loved to see the late Chibombamilimo finish his term of office because he was hard working person.
She has since appealed to the family and mourners to mourn peacefully and encouraged the widow to remain strong during this trying moment.
ZANIS
If we are to respect the wishes of the family and offer respect to those who have passed away, it is better to refrain from making all such statements, including responding to the irresponsible statements made by others. In this case, neither Mr Sata not Mr Shikapwasha have acted with the dignity one would expect.
Big nose its your foolish Ala bee ,who is senseless,he speaks then thinks later,we are watching you and Shikafuswa has more data on this,it will come out after burial,you are in trouble big nose,both you and Ala bee think through your noses.Think before you speak.
Shikapwasha will never keep quite even when he should. Sata has said the truth. What is this Shikapwasha talking about? The MMD must be ashamed to claim that they are mourning his death. They are mourning for the impending loss in the by-election come which will go to PF. Please wipe your crocodile tears, you are not mouning for his death becouse you wanted it you mouning this victory but shame, its not coming.
i cant wait for sata to die so people cant politicise his death!! Theres absolutely no justifiable reason for anyone, pf or mmd, to politicise anything relating to this mans death.
Come on MMD, you had bad words for this man in life…period.
Mfwiti ni Ndoshi Shikapwasha and others. What they don’t have is ubwanga but they kill people through negligence and repression. Munazo nyanga AShikapwasha. Mulowa muzuba manthu mayangana. Mfiti zamaloza imwe. Nkhemekhume. Fwititi yamzila Chitima.
I totally agree with the “Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha described as un-Zambian, unethical and unacceptable Mr. Sata’s conduct” statement because Mr two-degree holding-claimant Michael Chilufya SATA has proved to be unteachable or untrainable.
This SATA character tried to use late President LP Mwanawasa’s funeral to gain political mileage and other people’s funeral to gain attention as in the case that involved the Chief Justice Enerst Sakala shunning Mr Sata’s greeting. I hope Mr Sata MC behaved himself at the Airport/funeral of late MP Chibombamilimo today.
Anyhow, someone said you cant teach an old horse new tricks and so maybe it is high normal Zambians let Mr Sata MC of PF to continue embarrassing himself in political comedy.
Be blest all.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye…
Ba MMD, shedding rivers of crocodile tears now when they are the ones who victimized the chap by expelling him from the party and government.
7, you sound like Shikapwasha or Mulongoti. Are you related?
RB did victimise Chibombamilimo, when he knew it was late he decided to send him for treatment to India. What Sata is saying is right which way you look at it. The truth has to come out. We are waiting for more stories after the funeral may his soul rest in peace. The super story continues.
Maestro Hhehhehhehhe For 2011 Would-B President Of Zambia HH
For sure you sound like Shikapwasha. Are you his son?
Rest in eternal peace Hon Chibombamilimo. Big nose just shut the f.u.ck. UP, you useless, shameless good-for-nothing, pathetic old such and such, remember political position is not a career/profession its just a service.
the politics exhibited by sata was not seen even during the time of shaka zulu. shame on this old man, very sorry for his children and may those supporting sata on this issue be forgiven for you do not know what you’re doing or saying.
# 4 person,
Sata is already on the death bed. He is a moving coffin in the death chamber. Do you really think there is any life in that human shell? Its all these same MMD chaps who recklessly acted to artificially delay his official expirery by sponsoring a million dollar pace setting metal inserted in Sata’s clogged and dead heart.They shouldn’t have wasted tax payers’ money on such a useless disonour.
So Mr Sata is the one who asked the government to waste taxpayers money and send Chibombamilimo to india. The government treated him like any other Zambian who goes to UTH, until Satan showed up his red eyes, he must apologise for the money wasted.
Ask Sata why entire PF leadership converged on the funeral house of late Chifubu MP Benson Bwalya when they unceremoniously chased him from PF and labelled him a rebel MP. They never wanted to see eye to eye with Hon. Bwalya since Mwanawasa set up NCC in 2007.
MMD will lose the mpulungu by election to PF. This is punicking by Shikapwasha. Wait and see the mpulungu bye election once it is onset.
Pipping Through the PIPE
MMD has been caught in its own web! This is why it is important to treat each other with love and respect while we are all living. Rupiah made Chibombamilimo an example to his rule of the fist and now its hard to swallow the vernom after his death. Personally, I think Rupiah’s mouth & heart are controlled by evil and good. It becomes hard for him and his little men to reconcile when situations like these arise. Sata has every right to politicize this coz RB mentioned PF when he dismissed the duo.
MMD & Death
I believe RB still want to send Chibombamilimo’s body- mhsrip- around the country just like he did to Levy’s body to gain sympathy and political mileage on a speedometer of 0 to 10 km/hr! As citizens, we need to come in the open and denounce this trend. I wonder what RB’s plans are concerning the upcoming demise of FTJ’s passing! Will he send the little man’s body around? Im sure FTJ’s body will be hijacked and burned in places like Western & North Western provinces where he neglected the people while stealing money and other people’s wives while the GRZ had to pay for his ex Enlish lessons! Remember how Vera was an embarrassment on TV? The lady had no English language skills but thanks to her tutors who did a good job and now she can read & understand my blogg!
Mpombo & MMD
If Mpombo was sexually attacked and stabbed from his jail cell and eventually died, what would Alaa Bee’s MMD say? Will they blamed it on the Post Editor Mmembe who they have accused as a Homosexual? Or will they blame it on Sata, their greatest threat? These are petty but big game changers in Zambia’s politics. Why don’t we blame poverty for our atrocities and history? Are we so blind that we cant VOTE and VETO the MMD out of power? I am impressed with the previous by-elections where MMD lazos have lost lamentably!
MMD & Copperbelt Police
By now everybody should know that the Copperbelt police officers turned out in large numbers to VOTE against the MMD in the Chimwemwe and Chifubu by elections. The officers are used by the government to do things that are outside their duties yet their salaries are nothing and are always 30 days late! The MMD IG of police can transfer these police officers to rural areas as punishment but come 2011, these same officers will voice their demands and VOTE against MMD. Police officers are not dumb. Ask KK how the same police after receiving free bicycles and mealie meal still VOTED KK out! People of Zambia are educated and know what is best for them and their families! Viva 2011!
MMD & Chiluba
It is just a matter of time before RB will throw in a towel against the greatest lazo of Zambia. If you are a thief, just pray to the lord for forgiveness because there is a bigger and evil thief called FTJ Kafupi! This guy wanted it all! He never cared of you and me at all! Look at him now, his notorious son Castro is no more and almost all but his lawyer is by his side! Some NGO churches are busy plundering the same Kafupi who plundered Zambia. But who was this Kafupi? FTJ was a very lucky thief who took advantage of KK’s failure after his 27 year in office. FTJ became big headed abused the Zambian people by even allowing his son Castro to even shoot ladys in their knees without justice! Vera didn’t know English so we can forgive her. FTJ. Sata hired FTJ and lost.
Sata & MMD-RB & Chiluba
Both Sata and RB will and have realized that FTJ is no longer a popular little man he was in the 1990s. Times have changed and Zambians know what FTJ did to them. FTJ killed and silenced his opponents. Paul Tembo is long gone, Zadeco President was a threat! FTJ even sacrificed his own son to dupe some politicians to take him to a club and on the way was involved in a mysterious traffic accident. Lawyers died in traffic accidents, Mazoka of the UPND died from poisoning! Sata is still alive because he knows the crooked methods used by MMD. Ministers have died without help of the government. Poor people die everyday without the help of our govt. People its time to Change the REGIME!
Well said Sex Old Lady it makes a lot of sense.
#18 to 23. I love you. You are great. Tell them- the sleepy Zambians. However, most of them have awaken from their long slumber. Trouble is more than 99% of Zambians in Zambia can’t afford the internet, let alone a PC- in this time and age. ITS A SHAME.
Zambian politicians have nothing to politicize about. They all want to gain political mileage by taking advantage of the situation such as the death of their fellow politician etc, so whether one is in MMD or PF the behaviour is no difference from the other. Lets just worry about the money to be spent on by-elections which otherwise, can help the disadvantaged people in so many ways. Rest in peace Hon. Chibombamilimo and my deepest condolences to the widow an the entire family.
RB & Chibombamilimo
Does the name Chibombamilimo mean that who do the job? This guy was a hard worker for Zambians and RB didn’t like hime! RB instead fired him because of his hard work! 2011 is time to fire RB!!!!!!!!!! Why do we have a sick man as Minister of Justice as well as Vice President? I now believe George Kunda is clever than I thought! If RB needs a VIP he calls on George and when he needs legal advice he calls on the same sick man! Interesting!!!!!! Viva George, you are smarter than Kavindele, NCC President Nevers Mumber, Leut General Christon and Mwanawasa under FTJ! George is greedy thats why he has two portifolios! Wake up dear Zambians!
Nevers Mumba & Zambia
If Mr. Nevers was ordained to rule Zambia why did he sell his small party of little men to MMD? The answer is obvious–he was interested to quit God’s work and be a stupid politician. Nevers as his name suggests mean ‘NEVER’ and he cant be a leader! The guy is now a diplomat with no works but chewing tax payors money. I lived in the same room with his nephew in Hurst Texas USA and I knew then that our former VIP’s family was a wondering family trading in second hand clothes from Mexico to make ends meet. If u see this guy ask him of Gideon in Texas.
Sexy Old Lady,
What the h.e.l.l are you babbling on about? Sata, RB, FTJ are all thugs cut from the same rug. I dont seem to get your point. What regime change are you advocating?
Woza S.O.L
SATA is very correct coz he was just saying what R.B said when he fired late Chibombamilimo. We all know what R.B said & lets not pretend now. Am only worried that Zambian ministers seem to have little things to do despite earning alot of money thru continuous travels and allowances. Just imagine, the only job 4 this big nose Shikapwasha is just to make comments on what Sata (others) say & nothing else. What a worst of money.
By the words of Chibombamilimo let MAESTRO HHEHEHE judge his own reasoning “But should they continue on this path intent on gaining their political fortunes through fraudulent means, I call upon church leaders to commit the nation to prayer so that the God that has kept this country in peace all these years may come through for us at this hour of great need.”
As if that is not enough, some are condeming Sata for his comments on this misfortune! Alas! when RB dismissed the duo, he specifically mentioned PF & the post.Even if the curtains were rolled out,some zambians will always be scared of shadows in the name of Sata & rather go by what they have. If the duo’s expellsion succeeded earlier-these guys would be PF or UPND & trully they have prooved against MMD. So,Sata is right in all…
So now when someone dies from AIDS its Rupiah?
So now when some one dies of AIDS its Rupiah’s fault?
So today, when Shakafuswa a self proclaimed ****er of prostitutes dies, it will be Rupiah’s fault? Just because you’re sick dont think that you can insult or criticise your govt left right and centre and still hope to be returned. So you,the sick guyz(SATA, Geoge Kunda, Chiluba etc) dont expect any sympathy from anyone when you die soon.
Nothing political about it. The man was a treated like a leper in the MMD.
Ba MMD lekkani hypocrisy. Its also it is un-Zambia, unethical and unacceptable to play good when someone is dead when you are the same people who haunted his life. Lekani unfiti or witcraft manners. Munapaya munthu period. I am just looking forward to seeing you guys compaign niecely in Mpulungu. I am sure your boss will use the same words he used at that cadre infested fateful day when he fired Lameck and Shaka. Just use the same vigour against the man and you will win the bye elections bosses. Sata is just speaking the truth. These guys killed the fellow with depression. I dont see why Shika is talking now. Let him encourage his boss to talk since he is the one who said he will follow lameck wherever he goes! Its not even wrong to incite Lameck’s family to tell these liers off!!!
…’He spends billions of taxpayers’ money to take a mere knee for check up. George Kunda has never slept in UTH University Teaching Hospital even for his lips. And Chiluba came from Chifubu straight to South Africa. So what does he talk about politicising?”
The Red Lipped Snake is busy sucking blood from all these deaths in paliament you are seeing. He is a vampire of death.
SOL mwavoka sana
Well said Sexy Old Lady. I will post similar comments today.
Chibombamilimo warned that the politics being currently practiced in the country of using people for personal gain would eat up every fibre of morality leaving none for future generations.
He said any by-election that would take place in Mpulungu following his sacking by President Banda would be a bitter and fierce battle.
Lets remember Chibombalimilimo
Chibombamilimo said he had already been found guilty and left to dry because of President Bandaâ announcement.
… I live it to the Zambian people to interrogate this brand of justice employed by a party in power and what signals it is sending to the rest of the country,” he said.
I thought other MMD officials had dealt with this issue so is the Gen trying not to be out done
AS USUAL SATA HAS STARTED HUMILIATING HIMSELF WE KNOW HIM AND HOW HE GETS EXITED AT FUNERALS OF WELKNOWN PIPO. REMEMBER IN CHIPATA HE CHATTERED A PLANE TO FOLE BODY OF LATE MWANAWASA AND HE WAS CHASED LIKE A DOG BY MAUREEN. AT JUDGE CHITENGI’S FUNERAL HE WAS AGAIN REPELLED LIKE A LEPROSY PATIENT BY CHIEF JUSTICE. DURING GREY ZULU SON FUNERAL HE UTTERED SOME GIBBERISH WORDS. LETS WAIT AND SEE HOW HE BEHAVES THIS THIMAROUND WITH HIS COBRA TEARS
Sata is only speaking the truth.. it is really unfair that LT tries to twist the facts! banda’s narratives about this late mmd guy are even on youtube.
Learn to tell the truth, Well i bet its harder when your pay masters are (mmd & government)
Hear hear hear No.45
“LAMECK Chibombamilimo was a politician and he died a politician.
And there’s no way politics will be removed from his death. The death of a politician is a political event. All that Lameck did in his political life will be brought up and remembered by our people.
All that was done to him as a politician by anyone will be brought up and remembered by our people. Those who did good things, those who shared good moments political or otherwise will talk about them. In this regard Jonas Shakafuswa shares something very profound, very interesting with Lameck – they were fired the same day at a rally by Rupiah Banda. Both of them were deputy ministers.
Lameck were also expelled from the party at Rupiah’s instigation.”-Th Post
MHSRIP, this is a reminder to chaps like Shika that death always comes calling and when it comes it leave a bad taste in the mouth. today is Chimbs, soon it will be mulongoti and himself, and the zambia have only few good words for the mentioned dimwits.
No 45, Kalinsky, well said, Sata is really a disgrace.
Big Nose nad all those writing ill of Sata, have you forgotten that Bwezani, expelled Lameck and Shakafusya from MMD? How come he is now being missed by the same people that did not want him in the party?
Mabenga was the chairman and if it was not for the injunction, the two could have been out of MMD. Please leave Sata alone after all Lameck was only sent to India after Sata complained.
Scares me to imagine that if Mpombo dies in prison today, MMD would quiten sata if he talks about it. Further shocks me to know that some bloggers would even try to defend Ronnie’s hypocrical annoying statement. Chibombamilimo (just like mpombo) was mentaly tortured and that was eating his flesh day & night till he gave up. I ‘ve never been a fun of both, but simple common sense would tell you lameck (like Mpombo) was being killed slowly. Mpombo is old and his ability to absorb depression has gone. Out of humanity, people ought to be treated as equal citizens. it’s disheartening to see hear Ronnie say ‘our friend…..’ Rubbish, devlish, evil, headless hypocrite, shameless old liar- above all a lucifer incarnate. MMD bloggers, do u defend MMD or just do it for mental exercises…
MMD killed Lameck Chibombamilimo…we we need a new MP now from the opposition…
@45. One day anything may happen to you or me or any other zambian out there & you may need govt help. There will be no zambian who will be brave enough to attack the state to help,let alone Sata. He believes people must be accorded what is due to them. For chasing Sata at Levy’s funeral-Maureen was just an egoistic human being who thot upon the death of her husband, she may gain attention & sympathy, therefore stand on MMD ticket-it never came to pace & will never. We love sata even if people dont love urgly people.
Rupiah & Chibombamilimo’s Body & GHOST
RB will be haunted till his death! RB and MMD have so many ghosts running behind them. The little men in MMD are so scared to the point that they cant even enjoy spending time in state house. RB cant even spend time with his wife because he is scared of everything. His shadow is thicker than ever and he runs away from it. Its time for Zambians to elect a new leader and new government.
”George Kunda has never slept in UTH University Teaching Hospital even for his lips.” Manje mwona ba Sata banu
Why africans doing cheap politics.
