The Patriotic Front (PF) has not appealed to the Supreme Court contrary to the earlier intention. A check at the Supreme Court on this morning revealed that there is no appeal entered in the registry book.
MMD Lawyer Sunday Nkonde has also told ZNBC that the ruling party has also not been served with the notice of appeal by the PF. Mr Nkonde has challenged the PF to go ahead with the appeal saying the MMD is ready to meet the opposition party in court.
Yesterday, after losing their case, the Patriotic Front indicated that an appeal would be made to the Supreme Court against the judgment delivered in the High Court over President Rupiah Banda’s parentage.
PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba said the Judge misrepresented herself when she threw out the case.
The High Court yesterday dismissed the petition by the Patriotic Front to restrain President Rupiah Banda from filling nomination papers for the September 20 general elections.
Judge in Charge Jane Kabuka dismissed the PF Petition following the Preliminary issues raised by the defence lawyers.
Judge Kabuka ruled that President Banda, who is the subject of litigation, is not party to the proceedings.
She states that on this ground, any adverse decision on him amounts to the breach of rule of natural justice.
Prior to the ruling, Defence Lawyers submitted that the action be dismissed.
They argued that the High Court has no jurisdiction to preside on controversies on Presidential qualifications.
The Defence lawyers submitted that any controversy on the Presidential qualification is the preserve of the Supreme Court.
In the absence of any legal impediment against his eligibility to file contest the presidency, Mr Banda was therefore able to file in his nomination papers Wednesday morning as per the Electoral Commission of Zambia timetable.

Malabishi – anyway muzaona pipo. SATA ni nambala wanu!!! Pa BWATOOOOOO
whatever the boat is carrying looks like a corpse
It could a dead body from the pangs of hunger, poverty and disease as a result of 20 years of MMD misrule
but ba sata awe sure,,,he just wasted his tym all this drama was unnecessary
How do you expect a lawyer to does not know how to sue to know how to appeal
But how can RB be sued with all the immunity and who will remove the immunity without parliament?
no need to appeal….justice is very copromised in zed
What a climb down for Mr Kabimba after making live threats on TV
They have no grounds of appeal. Just playing to the gallery as usual.
Ba mudala ba Sata
Ati mwaitaya
MMD 4 : PF 0
SUING OR NO SUING MWALUUUUZA!!!!NI DON”T KUBEBA!
this jus shows that the boat was sinking but now its sunk…shame
Very GOOD PF, We shall beat the man through the ballot. Time has gone for RB. MMD & RB Kuya bebele VIVA SATA. PPPPFFFFFFF for ever
MMD Courts anywhere….ITS the MMD who wanted to do this, NOW LETS SEE HOW THE KING RIDES……..NIPABWATO IMWE……………………………………………….
Ba p.f mmulekwatako nnensoni aataseÂ
THE OUTCOME OF THIS CASE IS NO SURPRISE, THE ISSUE WAS HIS PARENTAGE, WHY GIVE JUDGEMENT ON WHO TO SUE, WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE DID SHE AGREE TO ACCEPT THE SUMMON…..SOMETHIN FISHYY…ZAMBIAN LAW IS FOUND WANTING ON THIS ONE.
if you dont understand the legalities at play, just ask instead of showing your ignorance to the whole wide world (www)
YOUR LEVELS OF IGNORANCE ARE ALARMING
Ba PF just concentrate on campaigning, you have already made the point clear that after all RB is may not be zambian. judicial system pa zed is highly compromised. When you come into power please reform the judiciary so that naifwe fwe balanda we will obtain justice. VIVA PF!
THE EXCHANGE RATE IS NOW K5020 AGAINST A DOLLAR….WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT IS THIS? MMD KUYA BEBELE….YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY YOU DOGS
exhange rate doesnt determine the economy check the exchange rate of Japan compared to the Pula and tell me which one is a strong a economy of the two Use http://WWW.OANDA
I think that the Judge is very sharp. She quickly realised that the real preliminary issue was denying RB natural justice and decided to throw out the case. On this premise alone, she did not even consider the arguments from the defence lawyers. Mind you PF cadres, the Judge is not saying that the defence arguments are wrong.
Maybe someone at PF Party H/Q has been reading our comments and concluded that sleepy Zambians are happy to be led by foreigners …no wonder chi RB dishes out public holidays like confetti, he don’t give a monkeys about you lot, give him 5 more years and he will be giving loans to GRZ!!!Â
I just had a heated debated with my Zambians friends. Zimbabwe is better than Zambia in everything. We provided you with a president!Â
Zams GDP is 3 times higher than Zims; Zams exports are more than double Zims; Zams per capita income is 3 times higher than Zims; Zams FDI over the last 10 years has been well over $1 billion per year compared to Zims $100 million in a good year; the economic growth rates are about the same but Zams is from a base 3 times higher than Zims; Zams life expectancy is 2 years more than Zims. Maybe you can explain what you mean when you say Zim is better than Zam. Okay, Zims AID/HIV cases are double those of Zam, so at least there’s somewhere you’re beating us.
Ha ha ha ha ha….!
@ 15 if you dont understand the legalities at play, just ask instead of showing your ignorance to the whole wide world (www)
By the way, where were you when others were going to school? Zambians, you will never rule yourselves. You helped us during the liberation struggle and now we are paying you back by providing you with a president. How about that Â
PF ni ma labish.
@Zimbabwean Born
So if you so good how come you’ve only had 2 presidents since 1980 and Canaan Sodindo Banana was just a ceremonial president warming the sit for Mugabe. In short you’ve been ruled by one party and President since independence!!
Sata should just drop it. No need to fight a losing battle. You cant fight the goverment, more especially a rulling party and expect to win. Not in africa!!!
THIS NATION IS BEING RULED LIKE ANIMAL FARM WHERE THE LAW ONLY APPLIES TO THE POOR….ONE DAY THIS WILL BACK FIRE….VOTE FOR CHANGE SO THAT WE SORT OUT THE MESS…WE ALSO NEED TO COME AND ESTABLISH WETHER RB RULED THIS COUNTRY LEGALY
#19 Katie Good: RB steered the country out of the worst effects of the financial melt down created by the US sub-prime mortgage crisis. He took all the correct decisions and saved many jobs on the mines. As for you Pali Fwaka (PF) members, all you do is make wild accusations of corruption which have no basis. Regarding the Chiluba case on which you base your accusations of corruption on RB, the fact is that RB exercised great wisdom by not appealing to the Supreme Court. People need to learn that Wisdom is sometimes more important than justice. Did you want Chiluba to die in jail so that there would for ever be divisions in our country.
PF, what a bunch of idio’ts.Â
#25 – Dnchi Kubeba Reloaded – If you are expecting Sata to bring justice to Zambia, then you must be the most ignorant person with no idea of Sata’s history. Sata is the most inconsistent and unprincipled scound.rel in Zambian politics. All his positions on Taiwan, the Chiluba Third term, UTH Doctors strike, policy toward China, the 2006 Constitution, the 1993 state of imergency etc.. were all disasters. Is this the man to bring justice to Zambia? You must be absolutely mad.
It is a canoe, not a boat. It will take a very long nkoloko to cross the ocean of problems in Zambia. Sata and Scott are old and paddling will be very difikoti for them. We need a united national party for development that has moved the country forward in terms of democracy and economic independence.
New Mandate for our leader RB and people’s ruling MMD party means:
More Subsidies at production level than at consumption,
More better schools,
More hospitals,
More food security through bumper harvests,
More good markets,
more road networks,
More bridges,
More dams,
More livestock treatment and replenishing centers,
More quality education,
Massive investments,
more dignity for every hardworking Zambian,
Guaranteered national security,
More political stability and coexistence.
More subsidies at production (maize) the don’t collect from farmers or don’t pay them in time,
More sub-standard schools,
More hospitals that aren’t worth their salt because they don’t even have medicine most times,
More food security yet some people eat once a day in this country,
Shit markets,
More roads that will not even withstand one rainy-season,
More bridges initiated by previous Presidents,
Which new dams have they built???
Massive Chinese investment which does not benefit the common Zambian,
Guaranteed national security because Zambians are naturally docile (even if you steal from them),
etc. Â Â
Politics is neither academic nor a social science of the faint and fragile hearted but strategic, selfless, pragmatic and agile which RB has proven a complete package.Let Sata keep his hallucinations in courts and RB intensify his galvanizing momentum around the country.

RB……Nafuti Nafuti!
#28 Pupwe – Indeed Sata is the only man with a chance to bring sanity and justice to Zambia. The biggest enemy in Zambia is corruption but RB has declared that it is non existence in Zambia. Sata will institute policies that will stump out this corruption evil once and for all. Can you possibly consider RB to remain in Govt with such silly observations. If you retain RB, you will be a foreigner in your own country. This dillusional RB is selling the country at an irreversable rate. Time to kick him out.
The boat is sinking. yanguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. ubulanda bwaisa to all those on it.
Good analyses on this forum. We must praise genuine exploits. NO BLIND LOYALTIES IN 21st century
By 21st September Senior Citizen would have disappeared from blogging on this site. Can’t wait for that day.
@34 Amayama, there is no sanity in what you are saying. How do you bring a congregation of plunderers to fight corruption? Do you know the shadowy characters that surround Mr Sata in the background? Mr Sata’s history is well known by all Zambians, violence, corruption, nepotism, tribalism etc etc, and do you need reminding that he is the most accomplished liar that Zambia has ever produced? Lies and corruption two sides of the same coin.
Pure Faggots (PF). Mwaba utuma to.le ubunono kwati ni sata wenu.
MMD rodents wait u will be taught a lesson sooner than later. namulya na fifula bakose!!!
Who would risk crossing the Mighty Zambezi with a canoe.Only Learned Lawyer Winter Kabimba with a record of all successful court cases.A lengthy CV
My opinion is that Sata would want to change the constitution so that he becomes a life president.If he championed the late Chiluba’s third term what do u think he would do for himself.He can also make a the worst ever dictator in the world anyway.
Yes, people want to air their views.PLEASE let us spend more time on our KNEES than insulting each other. We are all Zambians and we must try to live side by side. May GOD bless Zambia.
# 11 jane nafuti nafuti, a u not supposed to be on that muvi tv program for prostitutes(whores) ready for marriage? what a u doin bloggin shit
This PF to me looks like party of desperate people who will try and use every mean at there disposal to come to power. Such as telling people lies, use the defense forces and even the courts of law to come to power. They have now seen that their scheme has failed hence they are not willing to appeal. We are yet to see many more attempts from them before and after 20th Sept especially if as I think the end up losing the elections. Let all well meaning Zambians just ignore them by putting their votes on the new broom and new blood with fresh ideas. HH is the answer to the problems this country is facing today. VIVA HH.
kabimba was playing to the gallery when he said they would appeal. Like most of the time, he didn’t actually know what he was talking about.
Is the boat paddling in a sawer pond?
Lelo~Lelo~lelo-LeLo-NI-Lelo:The Pathetic Fools are at It with The Phost News(Past News) these Clowns need ideas or even 1% of my brain activities on my worst day,what a bunch of monkey in suits even my cats at home have better brains than these suckers.Kabimba ni Sata luli ki sanganu.Lelo-Ni-Lelo Ki-nako Ki-nako Ki-nakoooooooooooooooo UPND4LIFE shikulu Yama Mwapya Baisaaaaaa Ki-Nakooooooooo
#44 tony blair, this is what everyone is talking about…as kaponyas (PF) you can’t hold a debate because you have nothing to talk about except insulting people just like your mentally unstable leader! PF is not the leadership we need in this country…not ever!
MMD, for:
More subsidies at production (maize) which they don’t collect from farmers or don’t pay them in time,
More sub-standard schools,More hospitals that aren’t worth their salt because they don’t even have medicine most times,More food security yet some people eat once a day in this country,Shit markets that aren’t maintained,More roads that will not even last one rainy-season,More bridges initiated by previous Presidents,Massive Chinese investment which does not benefit the common Zambian,Guaranteed national security because Zambians are naturally docile (even if you steal from them or step on their toes),etc.
Can you honestly imagine this bunch of PF led by Sata confused mess running our country?
NOOOOO way! Any other party will do much better. Not PF please.
lelo- nilelo-ki-nako. You have animal brains because of your failure to see beyond your nose.
The only credible pat is UPND all the others are just there without clear passion and vision. For once lets go in new era of leadership and thinking please zambians.

NUMBER 42 I AGREE WITH YOU. IF SATA IS ELECTED PRESIDENT HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF LIFE PRESIDENT. SATA IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. I REPEAT SATA IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL!! THAT IS JUST THE FACT.
PF is used to losing.
They lose elections
They lose court cases.
They lose popularity.
they lose members
They are ready to lose almost anything, and that is their lifestyle.
Sigh.. Can’t wait for the final sinking of the ka bwato on 921.
Zambians should avoid electing the PF that is comprised of tyrants. Infact Michael Sata is like Idi Amin
Cool all of you this is 50/50
