The MMD has charged that it has now taken over the areas where the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) was a stronghold.
And the MMD has disclosed that the party will next week devulge a new campaign strategy ahead of November presidential by-election.
NEC Chairman, Michael Mabenga, says the ruling MMD is now stronger than before and the PF leader Michael Sata should know that his party is now weak.
Addressing scores of MMD cadres at the MMD Secretariat in Lusaka today, Mr. Mabenga, who is also acting Party President, said the opposition will not get the votes which they got in 2006 presidential elections.
The cadres marched from Town Centre to MMD Secretariat in solidarity of newly elected MMD presidential candidate Rupiah Banda. He polled 43 votes beating Finance and National Planning Minister Ngandu Magande who polled 11 votes.
He said this time around, the ruling party will sweep the presidential elections as well as the three parliamentary by-elections in Kanchibiya, Mwansabombwe and Ndola Central constituencies.
He cautioned Mr. Sata not to panic about the presidential election date because the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) will set the date and it does not need to be told or reminded.
Mr. Mabenga further warned the opposition political parties to desist from engaging themselves in dirty politics but conduct politics in a clean manner that is peaceful.
Mr. Mabenga said the MMD presidential candidate and acting President, Rupiah Banda, will take on the legacy left by Dr. Mwanawasa because he is the most preferred candidate to take Zambia to the next level.
He regretted that Dr. Mwanawasa is no more but assured that NEC that Mr Banda would do the best for Zambians.
And speaking earlier, MMD Lusaka Province Youth Chairman, Steven Bwalya, appealed to the party members and other MMD sympathisers to start campaigning now.
Mr. Bwalya commended NEC for settling on Rupiah Banda for MMD presidency.
And MMD Lusaka District Chairman, Paul Chihande, said Mr. Banda has committed himself to what Dr. Mwanawasa stood for in areas of corruption crusade in oder to restore dignity and selfless nation.
Mr. Chihande said Mr. Banda is the man entrusted by both the ruling party and on behalf of the nation because he is mature, trusted and tested person who will pursue the late Mwanawasa’s legacy.

The only way to find out is to go to the polls…Viva PF Viva Sata…
SATA fired his own MPs so thats why MMD is doing well.The man cant not run his own party
We have never voted before. This will be the first time and our mother tells us the good things Sata has achieved and we guess he is ou man….
No 2 you have lost your marbles…He is an action man and who ever is not working gets fired.Why can’t we 4 once appreciate hard working people.
why take over something that is bad? mwalishiba ati sata is the man for the job that is why you re trying to decampaigne him,,,nomba the sad story is he is the man for the job!! nipabwato guys!!
go sata go
we are watching from the terraces bakamba come november. we shall no them by there fruits.
check sata’s website for current infor from him…
www . michaelsata .co. zm
MMD stop ukuyufwa pantu nga mwalusa tukamuseka cibi.Wether Sata wins or not ni pabwatooo!Dont think Northen province is yours,if One MP speaks in honour of MMD,does it mean the all provice has spoken? “We shall hear since we cant see”It is the mater of time,theres no need to start provoking Chilufwa Sata my neighbour when im in my village.
Dont cheat youselves Sata has expired.He is where near a presidential candidate worthy his salt.Move on and go for a younger candidate even within PF not Sata.His chance was 2006 just like Mazoka 2001.For now forget because Zambians have moved on already
If its true you have taken PF territory then stop singing about avoiding the elections.
The MMD chaps are so scared ofthe opposition that they don’t even want the bye-elections to be held. Let them go to the polls if they think RB is popular.
MMD is facing the biggest challange and fear is amounting to panic.
Sata is a man of action. I do believe teachers, police officers, nurses and other civil servants will vote for Sata.MMD has failed these brave men and women who have shown passion and love for their work despite being paid nothing unlike the Army,Zaf and ZNS who are paid well for little or nothing they do. Sweeping in baracks with duty free beer and meal mealie. I cote’ all the flowers of the tomorrows are in the seeds of today’ You vote wisely better things are on your way you pipo who have been neglected for too long by the selfishness and uncaring MMD politicians. Vote for them and give them 300% salary increament
There is no reconciliation between these two parties! power is too sweet! Sata please rest!
Sata wont win the elections for sure and all those who think he will win will be shocked. I am sorry but that is reality. Sata has created so many enemies even among his own people who are ready to decampaign him. I am very sure he is not going anywhere.
Bloggers the truth of the matter is, if PF does not agree with UPND to field one Presido candidate, believe me, they will again hit their heads against the wall.
With RB and MMD in power, VJ in the picture, it will be another sad story for the opposition. RB is already enjoying power…tooooo sweet to let go. Umulopa ukufuma nipa lulembo.
The only big problem is that PF or UPND are very big headed they think they can manage to unsit the sitting Govt with state machinery at their disposal!!
Lets wait and see.
You have heard its your vote that will make them richer on your own heads.RB has failed to refuse this 300%. How many times are they going to feed you with lies? Zambians wake up it is your time for change. The change I believe in, lies in your votes. Too many years in power will make them so powerful such that you will be told shut up as they have always done it.The boom in economy is on papers, Whats makes the economy healthy is the increase in disposable income.
No medication in hospitals, Universities closier, low paid and motivated workforce in civil service, Highly skilled man power leaving the country for greener pasture.Sata made all ministries he was in-charge shining like a Cobra.
LPM may have been a good president better than Kafupi but the MMD should not assume that he was the best zed will ever have. Its because we have set our standards so low that even fools appear to be clever. We have not achieved much in the 44yrs we have been independent. We have been overtaken by even villagers like Botswana and we are boasting about development and keeping someone’s legacy. What exactly have we achieved? Infrastructure is none existent and democratic trends are still influenced by cadres. The world has moved on and we need leaders who have the technical knowhow. Lets not take ourselves backward even further. Please those at home use your votes wisely come November.
Man of action kwisa??? PF have failed to deliver in the councils after all those promises of 90 days. Word of advice Mr.Sata forget about State House! your chance was 2006 and you blew it by not campaigning in western and other provinces.
Its unbelievable! No one can ignore Sata! Just read the mail on this site. The poor workers are angry those are the ones that will make the difference in this bye-election not Mabenga and RB Viva Zambia
Imwe mwe ma Diasporians at least send messages of Condolences to Wilfred Wonani’s Family…Zambia has lost another patriotic son who contributed greatly to football and politics in Zambia. Pafwa bantu pa shala…..bantu Viva Zambia!!!!!
No4 You are talking about history and no one wants to go backwards.Ubulimi bwakale tabutalalika umwana.The current and future challenges of running a gvt are far beyond Sata.Thats why he has failed to run his own party.PF has become too big for Sata to lead what more the nation?I dont mind whoever takes over as long as he has the level of education,acumen and diplomacy of running a gvt.It takes far too much than what sata can offer.Do you even know sata’s manifesto?There is nothing sata will do apart from taking us back to corruption like when he was min without portfolio.he knew what kafupi was doing and didnt work,how do you expect him to work now?
#18 i agree with you,thats what we need
Bane who are going to vote for. The candidates who have come forth so far are not worth the salt. Rupiah Banda, Michael “cabbage” Sata and Ichilema. God help us! Even people like Vernon “panadol”Mwaanga has come out of “retirement”. Vote wisely bane otherwise we will go back to FTJ’s times.
did you guys see VJ the double master dribler. RB is on good for MMD for for zambia. if mmd was mindful of zambia they should have settled for a better candidate for the nation. not RB the man with no political agenda but only a fortunate misfit in the mmd gigsaw. get rid of the those thive mmd, clean up your own house. otherwise viva sata
Wait on us like bush fire, we are coming in style.Any vote for PF,UPND,RP,UNIP and all titular satelite parties other than MMD is spoiled vote.Even all nullified PF constituency cities due for bye-elections, we are sweeping them.We are going to make Western, Eastern,North Western and most part of Northern provinces fired up until they become no go areas for PF.
we all know that michael sata was party to corruption. what make you think he would be a good and uncorrupt leader? can any of the sata supporter honestly answer me?
mr sata is a ood general to have in ones army, he spits fire and is aggressive in his manor, but mr sata is not commander in chief material.
Pragmatist, Eastern province has just become MMD due to Chief Mupezeni and Levy’s promise to appoint a easterner as VP if they vote for him. Western and north western it is obvious case. Northern MMD will struggle unless Mbala and Nakonde for various reasons. When time for has come the results and the people wish to change will come true. Civil servants are fed up with MMD and the 300% increament. We want to see a cleaner capital city , improvement in health, education, transport networks, housing, water and agric.Why should we be buying medication such as panadol, anti malaria before going home on holiday? shame. My friend Pragmatist it is time for change.
Guys stop troubling ba Sata. We know that bagawine but let him rest and assist the forth coming president. We don’t want by-election kukonkhana konkhana one after another mwaziba ka. Remember that ei post needs a lost of time and a person to be fully dedicated.
All those who are against king cobra you will never change our minds, mind you people from chibolya and kanyama do not even read this, those are our areas. i challenge you all to go and convice them with your cheap agendas.people in the villages in case you didnt know have not been paid money for maize they sold to FRA, they dont get fertilizer in good time and you are busy praising yourselves and assuring yourselves victory. i maybe in town but my influence goes very far even to the remotest part as long as i pick up ZAIN and call, am ble to sale. viva king cobra
pafwenamwine#27, you seem like an intelligent person, so could you please explain to me how you think mr sata would be beneficial to zambia as a president? and in your expalnation, kindly take into consideration that this man has been party to corruption in both the unip and mmd governments.
may be im just not getting it. i would honestly apppreciate your answer.
these might just be the last kicks of a dieing mmd
viva number 27. ulinanzelu some of these chaps they dont even go to there vilages. we want someone who will change things, a mad person to turn things around, even those people in nakonde and mbala there also fedup of MMD,if it is nakonde to make matters worse there mp(mmd mp) is in jail.
MABENGA DONT WASTE PIPO’S TIME. TELL THE NATION THE ELECTION DATE. ITS NOT ONLY SATA WHO NEEDS TO KNOW. EVERY ZAMBIAN NEED TO KNOW THIS DATE SO THAT THEY CAN START PLANNING OR JUST MERELY KNOWING. NO ONE IS PANICKING. STOP USING YOUR BOTTOMS FOR THINKING. USE YOUR HEAD, MAN. DELAYING TACTICS IS PART OF RIGGING MIND YOU.
In Zambia, former president, Frederick Chiluba, has endorsed presidential candidate Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front Party (PFP). Chiluba is presently facing corruption charges causing some to view the endorsement as controversial. Sata has said that he will drop the charges against the former president if elected and some analysts believe this is why Chiluba endorsed him.
September 2006
So who exactly is supporting plunderers?
#13, YOU HAVE JUST HIT THE NAIL ON ITS HEAD. MY YOUNG BROTHER IS A POLICE OFFICER AND HE TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN VOTE FOR MMD AGAIN AS POLICE OFFICERS. THEY HAVE SUFFERED MORE THAN ENOUGH. HE SAYS ITS BETWEEN THEMSELVES AS OFFICER THAT THE BALLOT IS INVESTED ON SATA. GO PF GO. VIVA STA VIVA PF VIVA ZAMBIANS.
Members of the ruling party Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) have been calling for amendments to the country’s constitution to allow President Chiluba to take part in elections for a third term. MMD’s national secretary, Michael Sata, said: “President Chiluba needs another term in office so that he can complete the development plans he has started.”
January 2001
The ruling party’s national secretary, Michael Sata, made it clear that Chiluba was being backed for a third term.
“I’m sure 10 years is not long enough and I know it’s painful for those who have started warming up (to become) president,” he said.
April 2001
Can you trust this man to rule Zambia?
According to the independent press, the violence on Tuesday started after minister without portfolio Michael Sata led a gang of unruly ruling party supporters armed with machetes and stones on a tour of the 34 polling stations.
“The violence was engineered by the ruling party, and Michael Sata in particular, to create confusion and so enable MMD to tamper with the ballot boxes,”
2001
This what they mean when they say Michael SATA is a man of action…if you value democracy vote wisely!!!
Zambia deserves better.
interesting
johnny cage, thanks for accurately quoting sentiment of our recent past involving mr sata.
im am not one to judge people just for the sake of being judgementalbut pf supporters, please enlighten me, why should we vote for mr sata. do you all forget allthat is listed in the above blogs# 34 #36 #37
#27Pafwenamwine, dont waste time on #25 Pragmatist. He is a mediocre child of previledge. Just concentrate on spreading the good news and ignore some of these headless chickens.
Mabenga ku tumpa sana uku. How can you say MMD is now strongerr than when Levy was alive? You think Sata is weaker than the marketeer RB? You messed up for not using Magande, MMD was sick now its over….
#32, tell. Did he slaughter a woman or women by force. As this is MMD’s main preoccupation and they are voted in power mainly for that.
Those for the merger of PF / UPND. You can send a suggestion email to [email protected]
Its better than having RB Unip / MMD for president. i am sending in my suggestion are you? Lets unite for Zambias sake, our country.
The only way will have change is by having PF and UPND merge. If these two don’t merge then they will be no change and RB will be the president. The results will be as follows: RB=38,Sata=34 and HH=28 The votes for the oppsition will be morethan that of the ruling party. I am looking for the cell no. for Sata and HH I would like to talk to them.
#30 Zambian, first of all, Sata has exellent record in managing any ministry he has be put to run.You remember when he was Lusaka governor, the city became the cleanest in Zambia, over bridges were made to prevent pipo being killed when crossing the railline and roads ( Kafue and kabwe over bridge) Water fountains for both kafue and kabwe roundabouts. Council workers were paid on time and motivated. The same with ministry of health, Drs and nurses worked well to deliver the best health care coz he created and implemented policies that made the workers as custodians of these policies. Every district had enough man power and transport.Hospitals stopped being dirty and smelly.He used to
contd. visit remote areas every province unexpectedly.motuaries were clean and no rotten body due to fridges working. Medication was in abundance.
Corruption, #30, To tell you the truth, if Sata was involved, why Levy who was his worst enemy didnt follow him up? Neither his name being among those facing corruption charges? If Sata is corrupt, he must be one of the richest living politician having served in UNIP & MMD govts when politicians were untouchable.The truth is, when you go in rural & urban areas pipo they want change and change maybe on it way.How can you have the govt with surplus money in billions and your own pipo are living in absolutely poverty, no meds, Drs, nurses,teachers
pafwenamwine, i honestly appriciate your direct reply to my question. i love to see a zambian with a passion for their country as you do.
i definitely remember all those this that mr sata did when he held those position and those were evry big accomplishments on his part.
i maintain, mr sata is feared by workers in the civil service. the mere fact that he holds a position in govt makes them do their work. thats excellent.
but with leadership comes more than fear. you need to have the respect of your people, you you need to inspire growth in your economy and be know for much more than having a harsh mouth.
respectfully, mr sata is a good general in an army
Contd: demotivated civil servants. Developments none existant. Only politicians driving posh and expensive vehincles bought by the govt. Surely you men and women abroad or oveseas you will agree with me that mismanagement of resources, lack of priorities, visions and contigent plans are the down fail of MMD.How can the govt have more highly skilled manpower when the pipo who are suppose to produce these pipo are paid K700.000?(teachers) clean hosps nurses are paid peanuts and leaving Zed. ZNS lines Corp with grade 9 cert K1.5m? just cleaning the barack? High learning institutions closed frequently and less paid & undervalued lecturers! Maybe it me seeing and witnessing the unfairness of govt
he isnt commander in chief material.mr mwanawasa went after chiluba and the peolpe that helped him directly siphon money out of zamtrop. he left alot of people who held cabinet positions in ftjs govt alone. why? i guess we will never know.
but you honestly have to admit that mr sata , while an honorable politician, has been involved in some less than admirable behaviour.
once again, thanks alot my zambian brother/sister for answering my question.
those are injustices that need to be addressed urgently. the people who are putting out the most (doctors nurses and teachers etc)are being rewarded the least.but who is responsible enough to address the concerns and get them taken care of while at the same time , take our economy in the direction it needs to be? this individual needs to be a diplomatict leader and not isolate us from the international commuinty aswell
#47 You and I are overseas, when it come to work, we work hard and produce the best for our employers.pipo above us they dont follow us coz they know. In Zed if we were to go back home we will be given names for trying to make others seriously commit themselves to their work. If it is a white person, they will be calling Kabushe that they are being treated as slaves.Zambia deserve better and if we can have 40 pipo in various departments like Sata what a progressive Zambia will be.We dont want to see pipo starting working at 12hrs instead of 0800hrs or leaving early to buy sand for building their houses or drinking.Br, employees are lazy, they need control and coersion if necessary.
thats very true. people at home may not understand the work ethic we have inherited.
in this last statement you have inadevertantly answered the question i have been asking. whats zambias future? the answer is , we are!!
WHAT MAKES MABENGA THINK THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER PF TERRITORY AND WHY ISN’T HE MENTIONING UPND TERRITORY? PF IS INTACT. JUST ANNOUNCE THE DATE FOR ELECTIONS!!
#50 God bless Zambia and you too as well as your family.
Signing off. catch up later.
what we have seen in the past is all failure and we are not going to vote for failures.Why cant M.M.D GO TO REST.we do not want to see thieves prevail.VIVA MAN OF ACTION VIVA SATA.we the people of zambia are just tired, very tired of this company M.M.D.Plc.
Most of the Diasporians from Zed are not registered as voters hence stop this Noise!!! R.B is not ready to be president stop this sickening crap. You vote RB you are asking Mbita Chitala to run the country You vote Magande you are asking Maureen to continue running the country…We need sober minds to help us go through…By the way when are you guys returning home to see how bad Mpika-Serenje road is and Mpika Kasama road is…and pay 200000pin to go to kasama one way. Pay for one month’s rent at 3.5million for two bedroom house in Chilenje…Diesal per litre is K9000 the list is endless…these are issues MMD has failed to address….VIVA Zambia
May iplease know who Ruphia Banda is?What has he done in the past?
Voting for sata is also going backwards. Levy was sick when you voted for him and you were warned but you went ahead and voted for him. Today sata is sick and you are already singing about voting for him. Do you people have chicken brains? Voting for sata is just like voting for RB maybe even worse. You have a vibrant young man HH. why cant you try him for the remaining three years. Zambians lets be wise and move our country forward.Sata is not investor friendly and he’s just an embarancement.Remember those issues about his passport? Remember his taiwan connections and how he opened his mouth carelessly? Let’s face it Zambians he’s not what we want for president especially in this century.
Hope the elections will be free and fair,also peacefull co’s l love mother Zed.
#22 Ala bamayo ba jemboG nipabwato tuli. Stop wasting your energy trying to convince people with your little knowledge. Thank God you won`t be going home to vote like me.
As a tax payer, my money will not be used to enrich few people. 300% pay rise is immoral. The vote should stop this nonsence. VIVA Sata.
#58 being healthy doesnt immunne you from dealth.It is about having pipo how can delivery and serve pipo all heartedly. Being young maybe HIV or having fetal illness with no leadership qualities.
#58 One wonders what you are doing here then.
Twalaita Hitler nomunankwe Musolini! lol
Dont condemn Sata unless you are lazy. The old man during which time he served as minister in various portfolios, results were seen. When he became minister of health he introduced various policies which the present govt has stuck to. Sata introduced quality health care system, fee paying wards such as low, medium and high cost. He brought in new uniforms to dress the nurses who were at that time looking like marketeers. The hospitals before were smelling but now you can even eat from there. He changed the local govt when he was in that ministry. the man was actually earger to change the Police had Chiluba appointed him Home Affairs minister. Come Nov, he will be in control of the engine.
PIPO lets be upright,sata is not an alternative,why?1.he is sick with a disease called CAD(coronary artery disease) and currently with a stent or rather a dialator in one or two of his arteries,this plus his old age and long standing history of past smoking puts him at higher risks for further near future so called heart attacks.its in the best of his interest and the nation at large to stay in the background politically.2.as a 3rd highest man under FTJ,he was at the centre of chawama panga saga,perenial closures of UNZA with the worst in 1997 when we stayed home for over 7mths,strong advocate of the 3rd term for FTJ untill he lost IT when the late was picked by FTJ,the list is endless.
now that magande lost it,the other LB is just as old as sata with questionable past according to the post,HH please prove your worthiness,and come in for mother zed.seriously young blood is needed,eg.HH,MAGANDE,C.CHIRWA,F.MUTATI,C.FUNDANGA etc.spare sata and RB,They had their time.come 2011,lets be upright!!!!!
It’s tricky!!! Our great grandchildren will never forgive us for our lack of farsightedness.
# 51,i liked wat u streched abt zambians having a very bad attitude towards work esp in govt offices were u will find jus a jacket in the office and the owner is gone to town.imagine thts during working hours,when does tht person?and cn we really progress to have such kind of workers?I think i really need to change our attitude towards work.I hav learnt alot here abroad and hv com to believe tht back home people hav bad working attitude
#58, i know u bro, i wil try to make it one of these weekends to visit u as i promised earlier.Abt tht place i’l wait and see hw things wil go wit u then i cn join u ltr.gudday
I am a gentleman aged 32 and looking for a young lady aged 25-29 for a friend. Regards
No 70 Iam here for you let’s talk
16 I agree with you. If PF and UPND dont come together ninshi lets start getting used to the idea of having MMD being wamuyayaya.
# 70 LOVERMAN, I sympathize with you, why dont you try lifestyle section. My fervent prayer is that this guy RB proves us wrong after three years of reign- thats if he’s voted into office come November. Speaking for myself, theres something weird about RB and if i had it my way he would be the last person i would entrust having access to our scares resourses.
I can only imagine, am sure his sons Nenani and others are already in the cuckoo land, dreamland.
#70 There are no girls here. You have got a computer/laptop that is why you are here. Try google. I might meet you there!
Those with Cell number for HH and Sata please assist me I want to petition these guys to merge. This is a matter of life and death for mother Zambia. Together lets save Zambia.
Its shocking!!!
RB had a stroke before by the way!!!
So Zambians wait and see the outcome!!
Though he is my name sake, Sata tasambilila, that’s my issue number one I have with him. CV ya u cadre and trouble making not enough for my vote. I need a presido who will understand and take written advice. Plus worse still, ka heart attack history? Ma!
Watch this space …. it’s about to get ugly.
Lesa e Kachema…
I din know that 90% percent of zambian bloggers are in diaspora until LT attached flags to all comments made indicating country of residence
Mr Mabenga wants to take Zambians for granted. We are still mourning our late president. Already MMD started campaining before the their party president was buried. Wait for campain period to start. You will see how the mood will be. I agree with those who are saying PF+UPND should choose one candate if they have to win these election i see split which will give chance to MMD remember 2006 election.Mr Sata should allow HH to lead because of his health issue and form a colliation Gvt.HH has a vision just like the late. Go foward Opposition this is your chance dont waste it.
sata is the only candidate with good past record besides massive experience.It is sata.Zambians lets decide our deestiny.Dont miss this one!
If wishes were horses MMD would ride.
# 63 wake up its 21st century. Don’t be retrogressive!!!
WHETHER PIPO SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT SATA, I THINK MY MIND WILL NEVER CHANGE FULL STOP. IT’S TOO LATE TO CHANGE… ALL MY FAMILY IS SATA… ELECTIONS DATE WHETHER TOMORROW OF NOVEMBER IS SATA.
Pa zed, you are on the right truck.Lets put the result oriented man in office. Ni ba sata fye
Vote for Sata pliz
I’m watching from the terraces to see how wise Sata and HH are. If these guys don’t merge, then Zambians must start questioning their common sense. I sometimes fail to bring myself to comprehend why these guys can’t see that they can not make it alone. Who advises these guys? Napapata if there is anyone on this blog related to any of them please get in touch with me. I’ve got to talk to them.
Wanting to know the nice flag to use
#70 you are not on a dating WWW, sun of a b1tch.Out!
Sata is corrupt as well as katele and chiluba.It is even shameful that some zambians want him as president.the man is finished.we are not that desperate.we have younger brighter,intelligent,educated zambians than Sata.please get your heads examined.Sata is not the same as when he was governer or when he was minister.forget about him.I wouldnt mind votingPF if he would field a younger guy with proper qualities and ability to run our country NOT Sata please
forget about sata, violence, third tem bid, kaponya mentallity, gross foul language, womaniser, arch thief
Ooooh,so that s what you think? Or is it by taking the body around the country so as to win sympathy? Don t even think about the chiefs support may be from east or north western.The issue is it is too early for you to start those declarations.
YOU CHAPS LETS JUST WAIT AND SAY THE RIGHT THINGS AT THE RIGHT TIME OKAY!NO WONDER MAGANDE STILL BELEIVES HE IS THE RIGHTFUL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
JUST SHUT YOUR BEAKS.
We know how MMD rig elections through the use of ZAF helicopters that transport ballot boxes from rural areas. Your sins will find you out. How long will you continue rigging the elections? Mwaanga a professional rigger is back. Watch out for him mudaala oyu!!

# 81.Zulu LT is just being funny. am in the mother land pa zed but the have given me a ka wrong flag. Their flag thing is just messed up
By the way,iwe MABENGA when are we going to be informed of how much was spent on the state funeral before you start throwing your wait around.Mind you there were alot of unfinished businesses even before the funeral.Issues such as the unpaid retirees benefits country wide ,unimplemented 2008/9 agreed and signed salaries at UNZA.Talk to the nation rightly MWAICE
Sata is not a man to trust all, today he says he will accept Chinese, why cant he stick to one conclusion
HMM! ZAMBIANS,ARE WE REALLY RESIGNED TO GOING BACK TO THE ARCHIVES OF LEADERS TO FISH OUT RUPIAH FOR PRESIDENT? WE WILL HAVE OURSELVES TO BLAME IF WE ELECT HIM.
lusaka times be seriours.I can’t write comments.Why???????????
SATA HAS MONEY HE CANT STEAL FROM THE GVT HE OWNS AN AIR STRIP IN CHIBANSA MPIKA AND A HOTEL AT THE AIR STRIP.HE IS A HARD WORKER A MAN OF ACTIONS, NO NOSENSE. DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER VIVA SATA NEXT PRESIDENT NURSES AND DOCTORS ARE COMING BACK HOME.
flag
It seems Sata has already won these election which are to come.Why are they only talking about Sata and not other political party president.His Excellency President of the Republic of Zambia Mr.Micheal Chilufya Sata.
There scrared that when he comes into power he will not encourage laziness because he is a man of action, he will not allow them to be having two hours of lunch time instead of 30 minutes.He is the man we need to enhance development in the country and better peoples lives. HIS THE MAN FOR THE JOB
#102 MAI BABE, WHERE DO YOU THINK HE GOT THE MONEY TO BUY THOSE PROPERTIES? THEFT!!!!!
nothing seems to change in Zambia, same old story, but in all fairness and justice Levy’s passing may have been a blessing in disguise, the MMD has been in power since 1991, that’s a long long time to be, for the sake of democracy and development lets us make sure that no party should ever think that they can never be removed from power. development should be driven by the fear of being booted out of office for incompetence and under performance, So who ever this RB guy is he is a lucky chancer but honestly 17 years in power is too much lets go for change. we waited 27 years to trade off UNIP i guess we still have 10 more to go for MMD to be told it’s time up.
sata is the man.to hell MMD.Tulemimona bena Katele bakabolala.
Better vote for someone who is action oriented regardless of his health.The money will always be there for bye elections.The so called boom is only enjoyed by the few corrupt guys in private business and in supply business on the copperbelt.
#76 EYE OF AN EAGLE, #89 FROM THE TERRACES. Just google michaelsata and his numbers and email are there.
#105 have ever heard that Sata is in court for theft have respect.Sata is hard working even outside politics he does farming in mpika.You SAD where do you come from? Your father is one of the contesting thief polititian.Never ever lable Sata as a thief if you hate him thats your own funeral HE WILL BE THE NEXT ONE IN STATE HOUSE
Pipo in zambia must learn to play the hardball when it comes to politics.Data has been withdrawing from his political account and now he has gone into overdraft in other words apart from playing region politics he has nothing to offer.HH made a mistake his image was destroyed before he could define himself.he could be brilliant but that tug of tribalism will hinder him from making a national concesus that will win win election so the merge of HH and sata is will just blessing.Mangande has just killed his political life by trying to run on the endorsement of the dead man instead of his record.come 2011 we will be looking for new blood and he will not be one them
IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL WE WILL LIVE 27 YEARS WITH MMD.PLEASE PEOPLE
KNOW THIS NO TWO PEOPLE ARE ALIKE.NOT EVEN THE KNEES ARE THE SAME.
RB HAS HIS OWN AGENDA DIFFERENT FROM LPM AND RIGHT NOW HE IS PLANNING
TO ‘FIX THOSE WHO OPPOSED HIM AS THE SOLE CANDIDATE’ FOR MMD. MAGANDE
WITH HIS BIG MOUTH WILL HAVE IT THICK IN A WAY.COMING TO PF AND UPND
LET THEM REASON IF AT ALL THEY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN OPPOSITION
FOREVER.BAKAMBA BA SATA WISE UP FOR YOUR AGE READ BETWEEN THE LINES
OF THE CURRENT TIME.MMD IS BIG HEADED NOW JUST BECAUSE ZAMBIANS HAVE
NOT EXPERIENCED A DARK HOUR BEFORE AND THEY CAME IN EN MASSE TO MOURN
LPM.THIS IS NOT POPULARITY.IT IS SIMPATHY AND NO WHERE NEAR EMPATHY.
you see even people my mbuya told me about like bene Rogers chongwe have come to light after been in the dark for so long, this man RB is not good who when he finish gathering his old UNIP friend what will happen
# 59 Rupiah Banda is some individual who our late president found fitting amoungst our friends in the eastern province( LPM fulfilling his promise to apoint one from the east as Vice president if they voted for him)and secondly he has done absolutely nothing in the past not even make any productive suggestion to the late. His moto for the future is to carry on from were LPM left. And it looks like he did not get the excact shoe size of the late am very sure he will never fit in his shoes…….he is a man in his old age who is not suppose to be forcing him self in other pipos shoes.The pipo who are for him know that he is easily controlled. very indicisive
114 i meant # 57
ala guys, word of advice, its now or never for sata to rule. sata is for every one the poor, rich,educated, ignorant etc. Viva money of action. ni pa bwato fye. Those who are against, can you honestly compare RB with Sata. RB has no vision, he is just a cry baby, HH need to be nutured into politics.

Yappy, Yappy…. so goes the song. hh or hb pencil or r&b or whatever the acronym Zambia needs a good leader not regionalists. U can fool some but u can’t fool all. Personality attacks are a sign of a clear lack of understanding of what is obtaining on the ground. Get real papi!
PA BWAAAAATOOOO IWEEEE!!!!!! MOCHEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Sata had a lot of chance before but things are no longer the same.
Those who think that he still has as much following are devorcing themselves from reality.
They are simply exercising their political attitude though knowing the truth, which is democratically allowable.
What would be sad is if there any who genuinely dont know that staff has changed on the ground, that sata’s popularity has dwindled.
Anyway, we see with different eyes, because you dont need to be a support of someone else to see this fact.
This makes me feel that Zambia has a lot of actors/actresses (artists) who have a nutural talent of pretence, whom if well-tapped zambia can earn much forex.
Chi# 133 you are a real son of a witch, how do you honestly express your ignorance like that on the net sure? Are Mabenga’s son?
It’s seems you are the only person who deoesn’t know that us patriotic Zambians want change.We have suffered for too long and it’s only sata who will deliver us
For the record – Michael Sata as minister of Local Government introduced centralised purchase of water purification chemicals. More than 600 people died in kitwe when cholera broke out and they had to be buried in mass graves. As minister of health he misused the Zambia Flying Doctor Service planes. The success he sings about is a lot of rubbish.
We have no IDs so Muzadadwa ba movement.
it is true ba MMD…Pf is sinking everyday…i feel for Sata dn nyandule scott and lubinda…
breaking news!!! Sata has been flown to SA for treament!!
is this the kind of leader we want ?never again!not in mother Zambia…RIP sata…..
i think PF is more popular than ever now especially with the likes of a small boy hh and unpopular rb its going to be an easy ride for BA SATA. VIVA SATA VIVA PF VIVA AMAKA
mr SATA HAS a jet now so campaining will be easy we will in kafue this thursday at 14 hours.viva pf
Would you want to question SATA where he gets the money for flying/hiring his JET, or you would wnat to talk about that?
Be careful with these leaders who actions are usually unpredictable.
Any, human beings like shokes; even when i was young in secondary school, I remember we used to like movies which had in them a lot of suspense. You just hear some sound and you begin to anticipate some unknown action, and the would make the movie extremely enjoyable to watch. So some people think unpridictable leader will be as enjoyable as those movies.
Be careful, because life is reality; it is not a movie!
Sata can never be President for our country. It will be HH come November. You think by being quiet he is sleeping??? You will be shocked. Sata concentrate on making press statements then get shocked in Novemeber. MMD lost it by rejecting Magande. I wonder if it is a disadvantage to be hardworking and educated in Zambia because I see wer also choose the opposite. What a shame.
“A week before we lost president Mwanawasa, Mr Sata was on Radio Phoenix where he was discussing why ministers should not have an increment on their salaries. I phoned and asked Mr Sata why this should not be, but he instead started assassinating my character and insulting me,” he said.
Mr Siulapwa said it was sad to note that elderly people like Mr Sata had no respect for the young generation. On the contrary, he said the young generation was respecting the elderly.
“Within two weeks we will have a youth rally in which we will be able to announce whether I am standing or backing Mr Banda or Mr Hichilema,” he said.
Mr Siulapwa, however, said the party was not considering backing Mr
Siulapwa is nothing but an opinionated loose canon used for one thing he needs cash. The so called generation party is a smo congregation and if he thinks he speaks for the youth I guess he is notches off course coz the rubbish he utters each time he opens his trap with his scared looking posture makes u wonder whether the DEC should not court him. The guy is hopelessly dull.
4. Zambia Daily Mail, 09-08-08, page 2: “Sata ‘Dumps’ PF MPs” – Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata has said he does not need the support of the 26 MPs attending the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) during his campaign for the forthcoming presidential by-election and has asked them to resign from the party.
Guys, This is Sata for you.No sane zambian would like such a mad old man as president, would you?????Unless you are mad too
Siulapwa in the first place accuses Mr Sata of not respecting the youth,and then gives him a threat to appologise within a week or else …… all this is NOISE. Siulapwa i hope you are fit enough for the fight you are starting and i hope that so called buddy backing you will be with you the whole time…… i pitty you.
Do you even have respect for the elders, oh i forgot he might not even have access to the net to read this please some one tell him i need an answer
Sata is a thief, remember Mezzarf flats saga.Sata is cruel,remember Chawama saga.Sata is heartless, remember how he hounded our late president.Sata is everything satanic.He will never be president of this country.Mark my words.
THIS IS THE END OF SATA AND HIS AMBITION TO BE PRESIDENT.
HEY GUYS U CAN TALK ON TOP OF YOUR VOICES OR IF U WANT U CAN CRY THE FACT REMAINS THAT SATA HAS THE SUPPORT AND BELIEVE U ME THE MAN IS LIKED BY MOST ZAMBIANS
MMD is saying sata is finished, you will met us voters in the flied then you belive that croba is croba came to chipata compound.HH STAY WITH SATA AS YOU THE BIG MAN IS NOT BEYOND 2015 SO STAY WITH HIM AND YOU WILL BE THE NEXT CROBA THAT THE COUNTRY WILL HAVE GO GO SATA AND HH
MMD you are ok, people wanted change, now change has come to Chipata.
Infact dont even respond to this tu ma small ntemba politics. Sata naena alimukufwa.
Dear RB, Please consider me for position at the Zambian High Commission in Afghanistan or Somalia
We are mu cibwatooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wina! Azalila!!!
its PF, ni PABWATOOOO!!!!!
NIPABWATO BIGGIE
coz of levy,now everyone is referred to as corrupt even without entering a courtroom.the man was a joke and zmabia will better off without.sorry but just because he is dead i am not going to start singing praises.good riddence if you ask me
I think we need a president who’s heart is after Gods own heart. Dr. Mumba, please do know and remember that someone is praying you through. I will pray that the Lord would put you in that office for the good of the country.
#153…Just wondering…what’s a ‘CROBA’? You used this word 2/3 times in your post…
its time for sata to rule this country and ensure that the atleast for once zambians can learn to be had working. Get me right you people sata is the only man who can change the mind set of the poor working zambian culture.
IN AFRICA HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RULLING PARTY LOOSING ELECTIONS.MIND U PIPO THESE ARE JUST BY ELECTIONS.THE BOAT WILL AGAIN SINK TO THE SEA LEVEL.
sata will never rule this country.let him continue imagining asif he is in the state hse
Sata & Rb have outlived their usefulness. If PF & UPND can merge then lets us support HH. He is the only vibrant and full of ambitions presidential candidate to take this country forward.
Ba Sata shikulu, eshini pact and let the Young man lead (HH). If only you could do this,You will be serving yourself from the critics of your so called lebel mps.
Hi fellow Zambians, its time to change the gorvernment of these old job seekers who are failing to develop their farms even after they are retired they still want to come back to politics and try their luck. It time for Sata to do that which he has worked for. Viva Sata, Viva PF.
Ba Mudala Ba Lupiya namukula, Why are u still trying to do things that u were suppose to do 20 years ago. Your agemate like KK are just resting and advising the new generation on matters of national interest. Please you are a retired UNIP member.
today MMD hired some people to help them file in their nomination papers,they were promised some money but they ended up not giving them and the same cadres started decampaigning MMD chanting slogans of pabwato pabwato meaning boat. RB is the most corrupt leader that zed has never had and the useless mulongoti

You pipo stop wasting your time and forge ahead on what is next….believe me you sata is the best candidate we have right nw its just the three years we are giving him meanwhile Hakainde should remain in the incubator for 2011.He needs all the secrets to lead this nation right now i feel his too pompous and has to calm down, that position needs a sober mind just like abakalamba ba sata is calm and cool now after loosing 2006 elections. WATCH
am so glad magande was punished over his careless statement of our hard earned money paid through tax that he wanted to divert to his minions for salaries.magande said what they were asking for was just a drop in the ocean.i need someone who will make sure i see where the tax i pay goes and if whati pay is too much right now then obviously it must be reduced so i can send it to the village for my relatives in the village.to all my relatives in the village voting for mmd come november monthend i cease to send them support,RB will take care of them.
mule 21, thankyou for paying tribute to mr wonani.he was a great man whose death was caused by a disgruntled youth who wanted to steal empty coke bottles from a hard working selfless man.such are the youth of our nation currently being bred. he died from the very people he has fought for all his life. he had a wonderful send off! long live wonani!
