Government has assured that presidential elections will be held within 90 days in compliance with constitutional and legal provisions following the death of President Mwanawasa.
Justice Minister George Kunda said at a Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday to explain the available Constitutional and legal provisions following the death of President Mwanawasa that all provisions would be strictly adhered to.
He said the date for the election would be announced in accordance with the constitution and the Electoral Act after consultations between the Ministry of Finance and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ).
“This is a Government of laws which believes in constitutionalism and will follow all legal and constitutional provisions to ensure that elections are held within 90 days,” he said.
On the availability of resources for the elections, he said that the country had no choice because constitutionally, the presidential election was inevitable and that Government believed in constitutionalism.
He, however, said that according to the Constitution, any person who would be elected under these circumstances would only finish President Mwanawasa’s term and thereafter become eligible for a single five-year term according to Article 35 (2).
“Such a person could potentially only hold office for a maximum period of eight years. Such person will have twice been elected and will not be eligible to seek a further term,” he said.
He said that after the death of President Mwanawasa on August 19, Vice-President Rupiah Banda took over as acting president but was not required to take the presidential oath because there was no legal requirement.
“He will merely act as president in the interim period before the assumption of office by the new president to be elected. Neither the Constitution nor the Official Oaths Act provides for the oath of office for an acting president,” he said.
The vice-president already subscribed to an oath of office as vice-president and merely became acting president by virtue of being the substantive vice-president hence he was not assuming the office of the president to require an oath.
Mr Kunda said that although an acting president had power to perform all the functions of the president, he could not dissolve the National Assembly or revoke any appointment without Cabinet advice.
He said there would not be any general elections because parliament was not dissolved and the new president to be elected would only fill the presidential vacancy.
Asked what would happen if an opposition leader was elected as president, he said that Zambians had experience on Government operations and knew that it was better to have a president who was supported by members of Parliament.

Emukwai ee.
This time we need to vote for a young, Healthy and rich man for President.Why young? We need someone with fresh Ideas, someone who is active to get the job done. Why health, we do not want another cabbage in state house, so lets all say no to Sata, we do not want to have a reputation of having stting Presidents dieying.Why rich? The Zambia Ministers a now money hungly, if we vote for a power charecter no matter how good he is, they are going to turn him into a plunderer.You all know waht happenend when you voted for the pennyless bus conductor(Chiluba).
HH is the man we need, young, rich and very Healthy

Why health, we do not want another cabbage in state house, so lets all say no to Sata, we do not want to have a reputation of having stting Presidents dieying.Why rich? The Zambia Ministers are now money hungly, if we vote for a poor charecter no matter how good he is, they are going to turn him into a plunderea.You all know waht happenend when you voted for the pennyless bus conductor(Chiluba).
HH is the man we need, young, rich and very Healthy
the last question is very important but not answered. Kunda dont evade the question
even if its Sata its ok we at least have the experience of how to handle presidents funerals so we shall handle it with more experience
3 DXB. WHO SAID HH IS HEALTHY
#5 It seems you do not pay tax. We can not be wasting Tax payer’s money for state funerals….. so let us eliminate the sick contenders, we only need the healthy ones.
Sata is the new Cabbege, give the Presidency, he will be stressed and get another heart attack which will result into a Death, another funeral, tension for the country, money for state funeral and new elections. i say no no no.
HH is the man
We need to seriously consider people like Miyanda – thats a man with discipline and INTEGRITY. He has the interests of the common man at heart. Even his wife would make an exemplary 1st lady. Look at how she has run that orphanage in Kabwata. These are the kind of people I would be proud of at Plot 1….Don’t vote for crooks and smooth talkers
#6 I did not understand you quetion well please give more elaboration.
I support #8 Miyanda is the man not HH we dont know him. Who is HH. He needs time to grow in politics not enough experience to become president lets just follow suit and wakeup Miyanda from his sleep and make him president. As for HH I say a big NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
#10 and #8 Miyanda might be good but he is too dacile, the man has no virgure.He can be great for a vice President.
I say we go or HH, Young, Healthy and Rich, that the way to go.
#9 the question by #6 is that who the hell tells you that HH is healhty?
LT which is which after 90 days or within 90 days, I hope the way Kunda was looking amphatically on TV is the same way they will emphatically implement this close.
You guys lets give the old man a chance just for these 3 years I mean Sata.to finish levy’s term of office then we vote him out in 2011..let us go back Mubwato where we belong.Remember how we supported him in the last election.lets not disappoint him now…
“emphatically” and “clause” pls guys
MTN is right; the only suitable contender as president for our beloved zambia is Ba GENERAL MIYANDA, if only he can wake-up from his slumber or we wake him up.
I actually think if there is a deal to be brokered between UPND and PF, let Sata stand and HH be the deputy or vice, then oncehe has messed up like the way the PF has messed up in the councils they are working from, then we can kick him out, if he succeeds, this will still benefit everybody, so it is a win win situation, we do not want HH to be in power for the sake of it but for the purpose of moving us forward.
#16, forget about Ba Gode; he has lived beyond his usefulness, he is intelligent and all but the issue of defending the chiluba slush fund, that is just one of the things that went agains Mr Miyanda
and in addition he is a general, once a general always a general, see how Botswana is suffering, 70 duty on beer, next will be no one should be seeing hugging in public, watch the space in bots.
By aligning himself under SATA, HH has simply compromised his stature as Presidential aspirant.
May the best man win…..
#12 TKC, who tells you he is not????????
3 years is short I think the opposition should not field any candidates but instead let RB continue as president un opposed in return he should appoint Sata and HH as his vice Presidents
I hope you chaps that have just been sworn in will do a good job this time around.90 days is ok.AN ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT DR. LEVY PATRICK MWANAWASA AND THE STATE OF THE
Monday, 14 July 2008
President Mwanawasa, Zambia is gripped with immense anxiety and sadness that President Levy Mwanawasa lies critically ill in Paris , France at Percy Military Hospital .
In the evenings of Sunday June 29th, 2008, President Mwanawasa, on the eve of AU summit, and whilst holding preliminary and consultative meetings in Sharm El-sheik , Egypt , was rushed to hospital after he collapsed.
It has now come to light that doctors diagnosed that President Mwanawasa had suf
#17. Mwiinga, Lusaka, Zambia
I disagree. SATA has been in politics for long so he knows the “how to’s” of the Zambian political game.
Lets not give him a chance because in those three years which you are giving him, instead of building the nation, he could be plotting on how he is going to rig and steal the presidential election in 2011.
I say give it to another man/woman.
HH FOR PRESIDENT
How on earth can a hyena share the same crib with a vulture unless with a scavenging gain in mind.
I SAY YOU SOULD VOTE FOR A WOMEN TO BE A PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA.
lIKE WE IN UK HAD MAGY THATCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uli gaukide choma 1.koile koona biyo oko bboyi…
# 27 which woman do you suppose we vote for, when need people with subatant, I do not see any woman with leadership qualities,
I say we just go with HH.
Two will not walk together unless they are in agreement.
Birds of the same feathers flock together the bible says.
Now, what is the principle and cardinal shared and common ground for thier agreement?
Do we sence greed , desperation or what?
HH is the way to goooooooooo
What is the principles that divide capitalists on one hand and communists on the other hand?
ANS: PARALLED PRINCIPLES
So that one cant claim to be a capitalists while still hanging onto communist ideologies.
Where ‘PRICIPLES ARE COMPROMISED’ INCREDIBILLITY ensues.
The penniless and thiefs are once again on the door looking for the top job in pretence!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zambia, lock them out!!!!
Costain Chilala for president!
We have issues of who should be the next president,let us look to young contenders with a vision and not a dream for mother Zambia.
Believe voters this time around won´t go for them expired and radom politricians if the country will have to move forward. The best presidetial contender should be the one at plot 1. Voters,plz make sure you go out in numbers as your single vote will count. to the gov´t,no rigging…….let them votes talk as voters go out there to vote with high hopes.Don´t let them down.
Go Sata, go!
Our Beloved President of all Zambians he had wanted Inonge Mbikusita Lewanika to become AU Boss meaning he held this woman in high esteem.She has the qualities of making the 2030 vision come true
My friends, the Bembas, Iam told have a ingenious way of capturing monkeys. They entice the monkey with a banana stashed inside a whose mouth is only big enough for the monkey to slide his unclenched fist through. The monkey upon getting hold of the bet will however, be completely unable to remove its hand. The bottle is secured with a small rope and I hope you see the point.
What is the strategy here, the glass is transparent for the monkey to see the bet. The monkeys greed cant will never allow it to release the bet once held. I guess HH is that Monkey. I am not trying to insult here.

Remember that I worked with LPM for a long time and we brought this economical change you are talking about together. I feel am the most capable MMD candidate to carry on with his vision.
Chaumfwika icho chena Lupando mune. Ponyax is behind you. Bane please vote for Lupando Mwape coz asosa ifishinka.
I’ve just abandoned the other news item were some uninformed jades and bakwindi critized my timely warning about us not considering floating a Lozi candidate. Guys I’ve worked in Mongu before and I know these chaps. They’re no different from Tswanas and their South African kin and kith who recently lacerated immigrants. These chaps are itching to grab our mines and secede. For now it’s enough for Lozis to be ministers and diplomats, not president. We still need to observe them. GO SATA GO!! I hope to get sympathy from “Anonymous” who’s wise enough to support UBWATO!!! Nipali SATA. AbaLozi nakalya.
Lupando Mwape was the worst VP in the history of this country (Even Nevers was better). He even failed to rig. HH for president…though Sata’s tax relief is very tempting. Convince me some more mudala…Twachula PAYE na VAT.
Why mention people who have no INTEREST let alone the charisma to stand up and take the challenge WOW!!!A share waste of computer keyboard!!!!Lupando is resting and has no clue of what is happening late alone what happens to his positon after 90 days, let us talk about people on the FRONT and not behind being laid!!!
No 42 i’m from Luapula and i think ur a fool. There is no time and space here for tribalists. Go to Rwanda, maybe they’ll listen to u there.
ITS GOOD THAT WE HAVE CONTINUED UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW EVEN WITH THE CURRENT CRISIS, BY HAVING A PEACEFUL TRANSITION AS PER THE CONSTITUTION. THE ONLY ANNOYING THING IS THAT THEY HAVE MADE A DECISION TO PARADE THE BODY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AS IF IT IS AN OLYMPIC TROPHY. I FIND THIS NAUSEATING AND UNDIGNIFIED. A DEAD MANS BODY SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A CAMPAIN TOOL. I THINK THIS TYPE OF EXPENDITURE IS PRECISELY WHAT MWANAWASA WOULD HAVE OPPOSED.
# 44 lets talk about every possible candidate man. If Lupando is picked by MMD I will give him my vote.
Now, which is stronger the vulture or the hyena.
ANS: Of course the Hyena.
The mere fact that they are incompatible and have different dispositions and personal inclinations there pact will not last long. But who has gained out of all this?
ANS: The stronger and bigger and domineering hyena of course who basically reaps a huge ground out of the shameful pact.
I can hear the hyena laughing away into the dark with a big chunk of flesh too heavy to be carried by the vulture.
Lupando Mwape was rejected by a constituence. Why should the name consinder him.
nation i mean

you are just a party carda.

what more willl he do if you give him the country?

Elyo unfortunately teti ulande ati ok nafumako, fi pact tafilibwino. Iyo mune, webo usumine kale.
The list of candidates so far put forward is uninspiring.
Sata is sick,
HH looks like he has no clue,
RB is not popular in his new party,
Magande is a Mr Know-it-all loud mouth
Others are simply not easy to sell…
Lesa twafweni.
I do not waste time discussing events that will not materialise, It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY THE MMD would pick on Lupanda when he himself has no self confidence and is not an elected member of parliament. On a comparison by comparison RB would even perform beter than ba Lupa!!!
The title is misleading. it says elections to be held after 90 days when in fact Kunda said within 90 days. English language is a problem for LT.
Ni nkoli ieshele fye mumutwe.

Oh waite God has given us HH.
#55 Quite on track, I like the American elections were candidates who lose the last elections have no chance of forcing themselves on the people, which is naturally the same here why vote for a candidate who did not win the elections in 2006 does it mean these are the ONLY people who are reliable, straight, practical and such that we the Zambians are unable to reason why some who got 29% in 2006 can now get above that percentage?
HH is not the right person for Zambia and he will never be president.God forbid! I was for Mazoka but not this guy.We have a leadership vacuum sadly, but we need people like Miyanda, Chirwa and Fundanga.I wish Chirwa could not associate himself with the MMD because that tarnishes his image.All we know about Chirwa at the moment are his qualifications and his ambition,not character. Miyanda is the best we have at the moment, but he is in the wrong party.Additionally his christian issues make him too idealistic…Zambian politics is dirty period.Fundanga has no time to build his political CV. It is very sad but the current situation of leadership vacuum, will lead to SATA. Mayo! God help us!
whoever blogged at #47, can you be civilised enough to find your own blog name? shame on you
#59 iyo kwena ee you are really in love with HH has he promised you a post nga awina? looks like you have been. Even replaced my Miyanda with your HH awe bane its HH looks like he has no Clue Miyanda full potential. Between HH and Sate I would rather go for Sata. Even Ngondo better hahahaha

Yeah can the HH enthusiats tell us his how he made his fortune,positively please?
well if no one is suitable then why cant you 66 take up the challenge and stop talking rubbish
The tribal bigotry that bedevils the Zambian mind sucks real big time. You can bet it every man on this forum supporting Sata is Bemba, all those supporting Miyanda are Nsenga and all those supporting HH are no doubt Tonga. If you guys are not careful, this country is doomed. Sata is just too tribalistic and sick to rule, please spare us another state funeral. HH is oozing tribal bigotry from every body pole, you have to be senile or Tonga or both to vote for that skunk of the worst ordour. As for Miyanda, who in their right frame of mind would vote for a man who expired in their combat, atase, chiBeira!
MMD might field Kavindele or whoever they field he is going to win the elctions.
Stop dreaming of HH just because you like the man or Sata. Lets be realistic and accept that the elections are MMD to loose.
Look at things from a broader view and you will see MMD winning.
they started planning for this last month, just as Katele Kalumba.
Ok let me Just own up guys…I am Tonga and I want a tonga guy to be in the State House.
bane,
tribalism PANSE,PANJA(One Zambia,One Nation),i am from Luapula but will give my vote to any deserving Zambian….North, East,West,South, wherever that Zambian comes from as long as he can deliver……lets choose a person who has the aspirations of Zambia….LPM has left a legacy which, if not careful, will go down the drain and we will go back to the bus conductor days…..CAREFUL and WISELY
RIP LPM
I would want to go for HH but I have not heard his position on fighting plunderers since he shared a bed with them at some point. Now he is in alliance with Sata, what a shame! Cobra openly said he would stop the fight against plunder, so why should we even debate his chances?
Since it will be difficult for the opposition to win, let MMD continue under the leadership of Magande.
Blamelesschild (DXB),… ok now that makes sense…thanks for being honest.
I must say I’m very much encouraged by GRZ officials so far. Adherence to constitution is paramount and we need to demonstrate our maturity.
Let’s show the world that not only are we peaceful but we can be self managed without ‘facilitators or mediators’ as is the case with ‘neighbours’ – Zim.
So far so GOOD..GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
This country needs a level headed bloke to guide it in this time of turbulence. In my honest opinion, I would bring in Dr. Roger Chongwe as president and Christon Tembo, Aka, Ben Mibenge, Matongo David and Sikatana to work with him. Further, I would edge them to quickly for a military court, find Chiluba guilty on all accounts as charged and hang him until he is pronounced dead by Dr. Manda at UTH.
#72.Some loon(#69) is trying to pose as me. The Tonga blamelesschild is a copy cat…….. I stand by my comments.
Number 69 please get your own blogger’s name.
Am not a Sata admirer. Guys honestly rewind the way the man supported the third term for Chiluba? And when Kafupi drbbled him thats when he resigned and formed PF. I cannot trust the man to be our next presido. I am a Ngoni and meanwhile am putting my vote of HH unless something comes up that will tell me otherwise. I am watching all the political players from the terraces.
Natangilako ine naya ku airport mukulolela ba Levy
True, whoever MMD fields will win the polls. The opposition is stone broke. HH will break his financial back trying to capture state house, after these bye polls, he will be pauperised big time. Sata will suffer another heart attack before elections day from which he will never recover. Miyanda, as usual, will run yet again and curve out another ridiculous electoral margin at the polls.
#25, given 60 days for him to go round will just be the same as what happened in 2006 and he might just lose again, unless there is information I do not know about what he has been doing in the past 2 years, otherwise if he lost twice in a two year period he might be consigned to oblivion. I here your assertion, as a matter of fact if given the details of the pact, I would prefer HH stands, this is what I am suggesting, if they are going for a PACT, then HH should stand, if not then he should not go it alone, and this will depend to a greatest extent on who the MMD field as Presidential candidate. The advantage MMD has is that they are still a strong hold in the rural areas, they have not…
#65 just go wikipadia.com and type Hakainde Hachilima and you be well educated on how this remarkeble man got his cash.
Hey after reading, please let me know what you find out.
… contd 79… lived long enough to mess themselves up in the rural areas the way UNIP did, that is why I said what I said, I might be wrong but this is a calculated risk I would HH to take. The fears about Sata with the current eletoral college that exists, he is a Chiluba sympathiser yes, that is why I think MMD should rule until 2011 as long as they explain the salary issue.
Where is BY and Katele and where do you mput them?
Ok manje let people start campaigning coz by the time we finish mourning it will be 59 days remaining.
Levy RIP & we r ready for complete new leadership
We put BY and Katele in oblivion. OK # 82.
Why can’t we leave state house without a president, lets say privatise it and we continue with our chaos?
Only shallow minds think in terms of tribe. Look at individuals for what they can bring to the development of the nation. Questions to ask:
1) Can they be trusted to seek out the best for mother Zambia?
2) Can they unite the country or lead us to another Kenya or Zimbabwe?
3) Do they have the capacity to deliver (economic/social management)?
4) If they are rich, how did they get there?
Once you ask these questions and try to answer them, you will find that both Sata and HH are hard to sell. To me their alliance is a confirmation that both are outright opportunists!!!!
You guys who are busy talking about Sata, are you not courting another state funeral before 2011? Things are very clear for everyone to see that Ba Sata is not sick but terminally ill.Once beaten twice shy.HH do not be deceived, open your eyes widely as you might fall into a bottomless pit if you align yourself with devilish people.This is a timely warning take it to be safe and leave it if you want see how sata and his puppets who include stone throwers behave. Lastly remember again that Sata is currently ill. fullstop!
#86, actually perceptively what either of them (HH/Sata) does in this by-election will reflect what kind of people they are. This is what I would have suggested, HH stays put (I am his symphathiser) first goes for a convention, gets a fresh mandate not one laced with tribalism and then go int 2011 with all the steam meanwhile he would have layed the ground work especially in rural areas. Look the MMD do not have what it takes at this stage to keep the oild burning till post 2011 election. And on the side it is my hope that whoever is elected President will not dissolve Parliament to suit himself.
blameless child or wateva yr name is bushe ulibekodictionary pa fupi? yr spelling is just as rotten as yr ideas!
I have been readin yo comment but i pity the shallownes of most bloggers. HH wont win-thats a fact. what has he done that will make the over 70% that didnt vote for him vote for him. Sata may have lost but we all smelt a rat at how the MMD sudenly won. the man has potential-that u can neva take away from him. go sata go. Pa bwato..epo tuli!
Mwiinga,
You nevers tops amuzing me with your street type analysis.I doubt if you have any professional background involving critical thinking.You are better off investing your blogging time in self intellectual development for for a probable future.Can you show us some maturity and depth please! I see no different btw your analysis and that letter in the post by a Sunday Chanda who takes pride in self humiliation over things he is blank about.HH has never recovered from the Tonga only for President T tag beside being an ordained Mansonist with a Grand Master Mansonist louge.Are also a mansonist inductee?
America just rejected a wealthiest Mansonist Candidate in the presidential race who pumped in the primaries his own US $55 Million.They rejected him because they know what is in masonary.Zambia is a christian nation and never be bought by masonary funds.To be an economist is not qualification for Presidency.Michael Bloomberg or Bennanky could have been presidents the.Politics is a very unique social science.Good luck thought i they crash you again in the next 29 days a week after burrying Ba Levy.

#91, you would have attacked my ideas not me as a person and psychoanalyse me using this blog, it looks like you are blogging for the first time, we have an agreed form of etiquette on this blog and attacking people using strong words such as “street type thinking” is not part of the deal. I think I am old enough to deserve some respect, speaking good english does not necessarily make for a good analyst, using catchy pharases “like inductee” “masonists” etc pretending to have a monopolgy of knowledge when you are not does not cut it for me. I am not Sunday Chanda and I havenot read the letter, so please if you want to engage with me,address yourself to issues not be guided by your…
contd 94… pathological hate for HH who I still say I sympathyse with. I usually would not use strong words against people who engage with me inttellectually with a BSc and MA, I take strong exception to your making reference to my interllectual ability, so Mr Pols tell us, what is your indepth analysis other than these funny allegations you posted up here, we are not compaigning here, we are discussing the possible scenarions, stick to that and not attacking me, challenge me if you have a better idea and we shall discuss your idea, simple!
may his soul rest in eternal peace.
Headline is misleading – after 90 days?
Ba # 11 is HH rich guys? Have we seen his bank account or he just said it? This is politics guys. I ask again- Is HH rich? I have spoken to HH in my office and most of the time he is complaining about not having money and claiming his the only one funding the party. Is HH rich people?
i agree with #62, something wrong with this chap #47,very primitive!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with #62, something wrong with #47, very primitive chap!!!!!!!
sorry #47 i meant this HK or whatever..
Guys someone answer me. Is HH rich?
wat time are they burying him?
Go Michael, go!
number 74(Muuba) you are the biggest ***** I have ever come across.. U r a F@#$en piece of Dung how dare u wish death upon Chiluba.. My fren mark my words u or some1 close to u will follow LPM to the world 6feet under us.. U monkey. U are not the law. Justice delayed is justice denied!! it has taken them 7years to prove nothing.. ******we!!
May the best man win Zambia deserves a president who will cast aside all personal issues i.e tribe, friendship, personal wealth etc.. As impossible as it may seem there are pipo out there with pure hearts..
Why hold elections when there is a vice President. A waste of TAX PAYERS money. RB was appointed by Mwanawasa as his Deputy, now that Levy has passed away it is logic in my thinking that RB takes over.I do not understand why we should hold elections. If it is the law that says so then it should be amended forthwith. RB should continue in order to finish off Mwanawasa’s term of office, after all it was not Mwanawasa as an individual that won the elections but MMD. Either RB continues or MMD appoint someone else to be President and let that Person rule for the remaianing time. Remember it is 2 terms of 5 years each
The time is now that all Zambians should awake from their deep slumber of ignorance, lets vote HH, young, healthy,intelligent, successful and rich.
We do not need dead man walking(Sata) in plot 1, nor do we want poor and ignorant(RB) who will end up like bus conductor(Chiluba), by plundering with this money hungly cabinet we have.Neither do we want the clueless(Godfrey Miyanda)he will lose track of the good economical direction that the Cabbege but hard working(LPM) left us in.Nor do we want the I know it all(Magande) who will not be able to listen to advise as he thinks that he know better than anybody else, this will reduce investor confidence in Zambia.
Lets all vote HH.
#106 Na iwe wine uli fontini. U must be an illegal immigrant.
#102 Response. I dont think HH is rich. He could be at the Zambian scene say in comparison to the people at my home district YES. But the man is confortable
“Wat you small-time small-nation bloggers otta know is that only GOD will guide this country. So set yo lousy setnimentalism aside and carry on with yo daily chores of survival in zedland.”
>BETTER TO GO TO A POOR MANZ FUNERAL THAN TO A SUBSIDIZED ‘ROYAL’ ONE<
MMD should ask Sata to rejoin MMD and request him to stand on MMD ticket or else thats the end of MMD
Vera should be floated. Vera for President
Mukaye na mu ku vota pa Zed,don’t just work your mouths pa blogg.
you chaps you cant see that the extension of the funeral from 7 days to 21 days is a trick by MMD to give themselves time to reorganise they in such a confused state with no presidential material
It is not a problem at all. 90 days are finishing, they will blame themselves.
In my entire life I have been sickened by the hate between Bembas and Lozis and vice verse. Sadly, those who are able to write re-inforce such behaviour.
I take every Zambian as a Zambia, FULL STOP. Bemba, Lozi, Kaonde, Lamba, Tonga, Ngoni, etc…
I noticed the same exists between Bembas and Tongas too… the only tribes that speculate about each other, yet 80% of fishermen in western province are bemba… what the hell u talk about?
