A group of politicians and chiefs is allegedly holding dark corner meetings to try and convince former Republican President, Rupiah Banda to bounce back into politics.
Patriotic Front PF Eastern Province Chairperson, Lameck Mangani revealed this during a live political hour programme on Breeze FM.
Mr. Mangani however, warned that the dark corner meetings amount to treason and that those involved should immediately stop.
He explained that government is aware of these meetings and that President Michael Sata should not be blamed should he decide to arrest those involved for plotting against the government.
And Mr. Mangani has advised former president, Rupiah Banda not to listen to calls from people that he should get back into politics and contest the 2016 presidential election.
He says that MMD, Movement for Multi-Party Democracy will not bounce back into power adding that it would be tiresome for the 76 year old former president to get into politics when he is attending to court cases.
Meanwhile Mr. Mangani says that the PF will soon write to ECZ, the Electoral Commission of Zambia asking them to change officers, who have been handling elections since 2011.
Mr. Mangani says that it is strange that during by-elections in Eastern Province, PF has been getting low votes even in areas where PF candidates enjoy popularity.
Mangani Pan your par call take your stupidity far away from Zambia
Saka you really took Ngugi Wathiogo’s advice seriously. Mangani needs his brain checked if he has any. When did meeting to encourage someone to get into politics become treason? Is it the president who decides who to arrest as Mangani is putting it or it is the police when they have established that an offence has been committed? Who is Mangani to advise us or to foretell that MMD or indeed any other party will not bounce back into power when he has lost an election to MMD twice and PF is still losing elections to MMD? And in the same breath he says PF has been getting lower votes even when fielding popular candidates. what is his measure of popularity. Mangani ni zende bati?
Ba L T, can you please publish a nice neat portrait of Mr Mangani.
Me and many others would to print it to show our children what a real life basket-case looks like.
Tx.
Mangani… you are forget that the hate which you are directing at RB is what is making you unpopular amongst you own people!!!
These are the same fo*o_lish statements that made RB drop Mangani as Minister of Home Affairs. In RB’s words the position needed a mature person.
People,people, dont blame Mangani. The poor man is simply by all means to please his master. The boss challenged them to speak out on any matter to defend the pf and that is exactly what stupid mangani is doing. Carrying out instructions to the later
PF just scared,
“Mr Sata has proved to this nation that he is nothing but a liar. His second name is Mr Liar. Everything that he has promised the Zambian people he doesn’t do it, look at the public order act, implementation of the devolution of governance-decentralization, where is the judicial reforms, where is the constitution, to mention but a few?,
He lies in the morning, he lies at lunch time; he lies before going to sleep. He can’t argue with this; his middle name is liar. He lied his way to State House. Mr Sata Liar the Deception! He needs to address the press and people through Question and answer but he can’t because he knows that he lied. What Sata the liar promised the people he has not fulfilled look at the high prices of fuel, food, dirty in the streets- Sweep Zed…
Mangani mangani mangani….how many time hv i called you,,,,,,don’t wast our time ….you own pipo hv rejected you …..so what ar u talking abt? go to hell with your st,upid sata idio,t
It would have been better for Mangani to be silent and be seen as a fool than to speak and remove all doubts.
Lameck Mangani, are you aware that your own members in Eastern Province have rejected your appointment as provincial chairman? Please sort out your own mess before you start talking about others.
In any case what is treasonable about asking someone to stand for elections? Indeed, this PF is full of dull people.
Id..iot! Are you in Govt,differentiate between Party hogwash and Govt statements!
Treason? Dear lord where did these PF buffoons spring from? Rupiah Banda has the RIGHT to contest for any elective position!
These PF retards don’t believe in rule of law.
Is this man for real? He must have been extremely high or has simply reached a new level of being dull! Please define treason Lameck. Planning for elections in 2016 is not planning to overthrow the Government. I doubt you understand the constitution but it states that Presidential and genral elections shall be held every five years. I understand your mathematics must be pathetic but 2011 + 5 = 2016. By simple deduction, this means a Presidential and general election will take place in 2016. Being broke has really had an effect on you!
Mr Mangani, you never cease to surprise me. Is it hunger which has caught up with you or you are simply genetically dull? May I ask you: Who, among the two has committed treason between the group that is urging RB to consider getting back into politics and contest the 2016 elections and Wynter Kabimba who literary, still wants the President’s position even when the latter still has exactly three (3) years ahead of him in the office (today 20th September, 2013)? Who do you want to please by uttering that statement, dull one? You’ll never stop being an embarrassment even to your children.
Is dullness a prerogative to hold a post on PF?
Meant ‘in’ just thinking of PF makes one dull
miz respect the president is nt yo agement, ifant no 1in yo family wil b the president of this nation until the end of time.respect mwana is gud
just write properly iwe galu!!!
Treason Mangani is using unlawful means of getting into political leadership, like you did. You failed on two occasions, but still conured ways of getting into power. That is treasonable by all accounts. PLEASE JUST SHUT UP…..WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST RB?? Iam planning to contest 2016 elections, will I be arrested and charged with treason? Just wants to know
We have a very big problem in our country especially when ignorant, uneducated and dull people assume positions. Since when did asking or encouraging someone to contest a political position become a treasonable offence. Can Mangani or someone please quote the section of the Zambian constitution that says this? And if it were to be the case then the PF police should begin with arresting GBM and all those PF cadres that are endorsing or proposing Sata to contest for the 2016 elections. Mangani please spare us those tantrums of yours you exhibited in MMD when you were home affairs Minister and was directing the police to arrest or investigate opposition leaders for flimsy reasons, I am sure to you even greeting Rupiah Banda, HH or Nevers Mumba would be would be an offence!
Well, well, well what can we say? I guess in the camp of many I D I O T S every I D I O T needs to make himself USEFUL. Good attempt Mr Mangani, I must say
Unless Mangani and his masters don’t realise, RB constitutionally has never served two terms as president and as such just because he took retirement does not imply he can not come out of retirement and get back into active politics. All the government can do is withdraw RB’s retirement package. There is nothing clandestine or treasonable about asking RB to return to politics as some people may feel RB is a better presidential candidate. Issuing threats is unproductive, rather concentrate on selling your own party and president.
Knowing that RB still enjoys popularity accross the country,especially that the PF has lamentably failed to deliver,it won’t help for the rejected Mangani to pose threats on RB; the man is far much credible in governance than the ***** SATA! It’s only fools like Mangani himself that can insinuate that RB’s second round in politics is treasonable.Sure ba big-headed mangani,even if u’ve a humble education profile,how can u say such a thing to the masses that understand TREASON than you do? you are a shame! VIVA OPPOSITION,ABASH PF!!!
When I first heard that lameck mangani was a dull stupid fool I argued! Iwe mambala who taught you english! What is treason! Is wanting Rupia to come back to politics plotting against the government? You are very dull wamvela! You pathetic fools you know that Rupia if he is to bounce back into active politics he would hammer you pants down come 2016! Old fool!!!!!
the problem with PF think zambians are so dull that what stupidity they throw on us we accept.mangani please take you madness somewhere else.can you point out treason case by asking someone with right to stand.Yesterday NEVER MUMBA was surprised at the level of dullness in PF GVMENT.l
The baboons in PF never stop to amuse
Praise the Lord that even ka Leonard Banda in petauke has been promised a job,otherwise the boy is a destitute being kept by a wife like Mr Phiri Mabulu…during his campaigns in 2011, the boy could go in the field without eating anything,only to survive on a rotten paw-paw on his back sit! hence the ‘aulcers’ he is suffering now.(believe it or not)
Mangani is a political liability (danger) to PF. Mangani means what? Maybe the meaning of his name may have it all, i.e. reasons why he seem to reason/think like he does. May be his double loss of the seat has made him mad. One time he wanted the court to declare him winner of Chipata central seat even after conceeding defeat to MMD, he is now on RB and TREASON issues.
No comments. President shall tell Mangani to be careful and consult before issuing such far reaching statements
Perfect Calls. Chi Mangani shut ur dirty mouth what do you know about treason you failure?
….and this is the man who has been appointed Eastern Province PF Chief! What is treasonable about an act of coming back into politics, that is if it is true?So the President could not find someone more intelligent than Mangani? Pityfully bad!
Mangani should just keep quiet and he has been punished by PF to usher him into a PF chair for the same area and this is now to weaken the party in the Province. How can you put a failed PM to be the chief whip in the province where people has rejected the man?
RB has a constitutional right to come out of retirement…..
Please bear with him fellas he lack reasoning.He is a PF cadre trying help you understand that next time be serious to vote a wise president.
former minister of home affairs no provincial carder
kikikikikiokikikikikikikiki….hahahahahahahahahahaha
pweeeeeeeeeeekeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekeke
NA NSONI ULIBE IWE CI MUDALA,PF IS DEAD IWE MOON
YELLO WAKO.
According to Ukwa opposition is weak so it should be neither here or there if RB wants to stand in the next presidential election which I personally dont think will happen.
Mangani…manganic….If you have nothing to say better you keep quiet.RB has rights to come back to politics.If he is being cheated that he can pounce back to power well and good bt he knows how Zambians hate him bcoz of his bad rulling style.
LOL. In football terms, this guy has just been substituted into the game and is asked to take a simple goal kick. What does he do? He faces the wrong way and kicks the ball straight into his own goal. And he happily runs towards the centre circle wondering why spectators are laughing into tears.
In his dull thinking, he thinks all zambians are dull and do not know their constitution. He wants to please his appointing authority. Chipata central will never vote for you again as their area MP. Baba, your double loss to the same person has nothing to do with ECZ officials. Zambia wants to move on under the direction of focussed and serious minded people like RB. Having tested the two leaders, we know who the better one is; RB.
If RB is agreeable, RB should not rush in anouncing his comeback because the useless PF government will initiate new criminal charges against him aimed at keeping him busy at the courts.
Ayamba nakunama pamene apa uyu mangani?

I dont support this fellow. Uh!!!!!!! PF in eastern province is now gone, with such danderheads to be our provincial leaders. I will consider resigning my job as attoney general and foregore my K353,000,000.00 salary.
Fresher!
It is common knowledge that a first time employee will always go outside the box in exercising work as compared to the not so jovial lazy funny old colleagues who knows better just to try prove a point to the Big Boss, or is it your initiation trial Humpty dumpty….. Tie Him (Mangani)?
Reading Mangani’s reasonless statement, I really do not know whether I should love or cry. Perhaps, I should cry that we have such leaders.
Oops! He has rubbed unreasoning on me! Meant “laugh or cry”. Yuss!
“Mr. Mangani says that it is strange that during by-elections in Eastern Province, PF has been getting low votes even in areas where PF candidates enjoy popularity.”
AWE KWENA NDELOLESHAFYE
It means people don’t like PF.
Whatever Mangani si smoking MUST be very SWEET!
Whatevrr Mangani is smoking must be very sweet
Treason, like really?
Stu.pid Mangani. Just rantings of an idi.ot. If he has nothing to say its better to keep quiet than expose foolishness.
Saka nyini ya mai bako
Stop the nonsense. You hav a mother too and they need our respect!
Lt just black this unethical bloggers immediately .
The PF is never short of clowns in its busy circus. It seems the word treason has assumed a new meaning in the PF dictionary. Why is RB giving them sleepless nights and is it their business whether or not he returns to active politics? Why the panic?
RB for 2016. Yes RB.
Iwe Chi Colour Mangani Ma Paul Law Yako!! what do u take zambians for??? Fools like you?????
Since when did holding meetings asking RB to bounce back ever became a treasonable offence under our statutory books? I agree when Nevers Mumba when he says that the quality of ministers and people around Sata are seriously dull. Kabimba tried to convince people that people who are not lawyers should not interpret the law. Mangani is doing exactly the opposite of what they preach about and got it horribly wrong. First we were told that the law states that the ACC needs to seek permission from the President to investigate Kabimba and GBM.In all case the law being referred to is unknown or is not mentioned.What a clueless government indeed.
Clowns for leaders
This just vindicates the people of Chipata even more, if any vindication was ever needed. Mangani is a lunatic who deserves to be in Chainama. This guy has become so parochial he can sell his children to be an MP. Nyamunyokola njala.
Mangani manga pakamwa iwe!
Mangani, mangani!! This man is suffering from political defeat such that he no longer thinks using his head. What a foolish statement from a foolish old man. Which treason?? Why choose to be Rupia’s spokesperson in the first place?? Wether Rupia comes back to political arena or not that is his democratic right and not mangani’s.
Whether RB wants to stand or not in 2016, the fact remains the same,he is a bettter leader than Sata.
After all has been said and done I can only watch and listen to the so many wise thinking Zambians who do not cheat about treason. HEHEHE-HEEYA lol
Throw him a bone and he thinks is running things.
He has been watching a lot of Star Trek, tv series and is failing to separate reality and fiction.
TREASON! Where is that coming from?
Better he consults GEORGE MPOMBO to understand the meaning of Treason. If not, he must ask Mpombo to spare him an English Dictionary.
This is good comedy!!!
The mojority of bloggers here are just good at conclusion. I don’t think so Mangani said that becoz some of Lsk times reporters are fond of making serious errors in their reporting. The point is that RB is popular is still popular in Eastern Province & so in the country at large. RB coming back in politics would mean the end of Homo Habilies (HH) as he could come 3rd in the general elections & 2nd for RB
Twala ubushilu bobe ku chipuba chinobe (Mangani). You obvious have not followed Mangani’s short political career closely. Search the archives on statements he issued while serving as a Minister in the MMD Government.
Why are people getting so worked up over Mangani???? He is merely expressing his opinion. Surely, we live in a free world. Respect his opinion even though you do not agree with him.
Mangani is free to put up political fights against RB. Nothing wrong with that.
*** Unless we have bloggers who don’t know what constitutes TREASON.
Mangani is a waste of space, thanks to Chipata central for rejecting the *****. Zambia deserves better than this type of dummies.
u cal tht an opinion wen somone is trying to infringe someone’s right.
One of my nephews is called MASULANI and he is very intelligent. I rest my case.
Magnani is one of the fulishi men PF. He is uzifu idiyoti with no brains.
This is an ***** beyond redemption I wonder which political school he went to if at all
Welesnky (Former Northern Rhodesian(Now Zambia) Governor) come and see the leaders you left us with” These are the Elite in the PF camp???. One does not know whether to cry or laugh.
Mangani, tell me something: these people who are holding your so called “darker corner meetings”; are they trying to persuade RB to bounce back into power through the ballot, or the barrel of a gun? I guess you don’t even know the difference. Because of that, I was going to compare your brain to that of a chicken but on reflection, I thought I must show respect to the chickens and leave the rest of the bloggers to come up with a fitting comparison.
Mangani as a PF Provincial Chairman in Eastern Province will be the most useless tool to kill PF popularity in the Eastern region. Having lost twice to Mtolo Phiri, Mangani belongs to the worst eilthy noxious dust bins and waste-damps in Chipata.
Appointing Mangani to a regional leadership is like appointing a known thief or gangster to position of Village Headman. The consequences will be the migration of descent families to settle to other villages.
If Mangani has been hired to sustain Sata’s attacks on RB, this halfwit and brainless imbecile will entangle himself in his own cobweb, The more you attack RB and HH the faster you lose popularity in Eastern and Southern Provinces.
May be PF has no intelligentia to analyse issues for President Sata.
Shocking bwana mangani but may be you we’re misquoted, but we yet to hear what you meant by treason.
Amangani Chimutu chikulu muliye na tomfwe!
Mangani ndi galu wachiwewe. Since he comes from the Eastern Province he should know what that means.
Yes Rabid Imbwa indeed.
Mangani is not totally useless,he’s still useable as a really bad example.
Now I understand what a real used condom looks like – Lameck Mangani!! He is such a wet sock that one wonders what the PF see in him. Perhaps the PF need to visit a psychiatrist to assist them recover some neural elements so that they can leave Mangani alone with his empty head-shell!
At this juncture, we can only speculate that perhaps Wynter Kabimba had correctly assessed Mangani’s lack of intelligence when Kabimba suspended Mangani and Lucas Phiri in the PF’s structure in Eastern Province. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to make comparative assessments between the wisdom and administrative judgement of the PF President to that of the PF Secretary General.
Mangani’s “fulishi” and careless pronouncements will soon make President a big laughing stock in Eastern Province. As people get a glance at the portrait of the Republican President in public Offices, Banks and business houses in Chipata, they will just be bursting into uncontrollable laughter – linking UPUBA/UZENDE wa Mangani to President Sata.
PLEASE PLEASE PIPO STOP INSULTING MANGANI.ITS UN AFRICAN TO INSULT A MAD MAN LET US MEET AND ORGANISE FUNDS SO THAT WE HELP THE SICK MAN BACK TO NORMAL PLEASE EVEN KA K20 WILL GO A LONG WAY.MAY THE LORD MULTPLY FROM WHERE U WILL HELP OVER THIS ILLNESS
Rupiah was the worst 10% for 2 years that was nosense.
Where the PF finds this uneducated *****icall demagogues?
