President Edgar Lungu has called on chiefs to strengthen their unifying role in the country.

President Lungu said chiefs play a critical role in bringing unity and fostering peace in the nation.

The Head of State said this in Lusaka today when he met 25 Chiefs from three Provinces at State House.

President Lungu said he regards every tribe as equal and to him there is no such thing as a small or big tribe

He said he was not impressed with the voting pattern in the elections as it reflected what is actually happening on the ground.

President Lungu said he is concerned with the tribal divisions that have rocked the country’s political arena.

He said he did not call the chiefs to condemn them on their voting pattern but rather to call on unity.

President Lungu said Chiefs should not be blamed for the voting pattern that characterised the January 20 polls.

The Head of State had lunch with the traditional leaders and later held a closed door meeting.

After the meeting Chief Mumena of the Kaonde speaking people of Solwezi described the meeting as cordial.

The traditional leader said it was not time to engage the president on sensitive issues but rather to interact with him.

Chief Mumena acknowledged that the voting pattern shows that there are divisions that have been created on tribal lines and need to be addressed in order to heal the country.

Among the chiefs that attended the meeting are Chief Nyampande of Petauke, Chief Nyalungwe of Nyimba, Chief Musele of Solwezi, and Chief Mujimanzovu of Solwezi

Others are Chief Sailunga of Solwezi, Chieftainess Ikelenge of Ikelenge, Chief Munkonchi of Kapiri Mposhi, Chief Katete of Isoka, and Chief Chisunka of Mansa.

    • One Zambia One Nation … And Zambia Is Greater Than Any Single One Of Us. I was glad to hear you say that in your inaugural speech. Divided we fall, united we stand.

      One Zambia One Nation

    • Imwe a Lungu, you at are a president, stop blaming voters. You arrived at night for a rally in l/stone, spent 20 minutes in Monze and Choma combined and cancelled rallies to Barotse! Can you shut up and sort the constitution…..you are now a president for heavens sake.

    • How can you unify a nation while allowing your cadres to portray their intention to kill all UPND supporters like dogs, by dressing a Dog in a UPND T shirt and carrying a coffin.

      In this day and age surely , PF is displaying barbaric acts of violence in the open like that at the inauguration ceremony of a president.

      Are we Zambians really serious with life and democracy sure?

      PF under Lungu will continue to be a huge joke and lead to dividing the country even more.

      Only time will tell where this PF is taking Zambia to.

    • That one Zambia one nation moto is now useless if other tribe feel and supporters of opposition parties are being victimised marginalised.

    • Tiyende pamodzi ndi mutima umo …. Tiyende pamodzi ndi mutima umo! Tiyende pamodzi ndi mutima umo, Ba Zambia tiye tuli pamodzi … UPND tiye tuli pamodzi, UNIP tiye tuli pamodzi, PF tiye tuli pamodzi, MMD tiye tuli pamodzi, NAREP tiye tuli pamodzi, FDD tiye tuli pamodzi, Heritage tiye tuli pamodzi, Bonse tiye tuli pamodzi ndi mutima umo!

      Twauke Zambezi ndi mutima umo, twauke Limpopo ndi mutima umo, Ba Zambia tiye tuli pamodzi, tiye tuli pamodzi, tiye tuli pamodzi ndi mutima umo!

    • @ wanzelu, I thought you got the memo! Clever (HH) lost the election, Smart (EL) was chairing a cabinet meeting at State House before preparing for his trip to the AU Summit.

      Hey, you don’t want me started on this, EL was being humble as per usual when he said there were no losers during the inaugural address, you really don’t want to go there, pal!

      I told you, your guy was losing and I thought uli wanzelu and would see but I was wrong. I am pretty much a good judge of character but I must confess when it came to you, I counted wrong!

      After a serious attempt at vote buying in three entire voting blocks “Clever” still fail shot, mind you the dynamics for 2016 will be totally different. Sorry but this is the closest to State House your guy got … we will tighten the grip now.

    • After breaking all ethics, you still lost after all the innuendos you still lost, after using all of Lumba’s buses to ferry people for votes including paying some to go to polls, which I must add is illegal … you still lost!

      After staging false opinion polls skewed for yourselves, you still lost. After holding your sham of debates by your paid minions, you still lost! After wanting to blackmail EL using your Grand Coalition for the constitution, he defiled your blackmail, you still lost.

      After pretending to be Christians while labeling him a Muslim, you still lost and he used his candor during inauguration to remind you that Zambia shall remain a Christian nation.

      After getting a head start when he was fighting for his party’s nomination, you still! I will remind you more…

    • HH should have gotten more votes from lp Mu and NP looking at the effort he put in. But since he is not one of them they could not give it. Tongas leave politics and poverty to some people. Do what you know best work hard feed them and prosper.

    • Talk is cheap.all the chiefs in attendance were from nothern block,northwestern,eastern.if president EL is serious of tribal sentiments he would have invited senior chiefs from southern,western,central and lusaka.otherwise this was media show.you dont invite the chiefs pf percieve enermies in second phase.Mrs Wina as a peace ambasador is well vested in conflict aproach but i hope EL should utilize her.

    • @ “Wanzelu

      Kindly change your title from “Wanzelu” to Wachipuba or Walibenzelu. Please Please Please. That will fit your brain squarely. Peace

    • What unifying is he talking about when people are being attacked in markets of Lusaka based on their tribes and for not supporting PF. Please be serious and cage your cadres for the seek of peace in this nation.

    • @Mr BR Mumba Snr
      Stop being a hypocrite seeking popularity on LT.
      I did tell you the I shall trail you for calling me “bluff” when I criticised those jumping on FlightHH2015? You praised your “smart Zambian enterprise” for backing HH’s empty promises and what are you saying today?
      And where is your smart enterprise? To have proven my very point I made then.
      Have principles and believe in them and stop the cheap lunacy of seeking popular votes on LT.

    • @ It’s a worry:

      Mistaken identity … go sober up, kid. Read this blog and refer to right B R Mumba, Sr not some illusion in your head.

      Also, I don’t need popularity at LT. For what??????!!!!!! I have not been for HH here not once. Also I am not PF either but EL is my president and I hate to say it but I told you so … I am a UNIPist and I am proud of that.

      May God have mercy on your soul.

  1. Good way of starting work by engaging the chiefs early. Chiefs tell off politicians that come to entice you to support them on tribal line. You are the custodian of wisdom. We are all one regardless of tribe or province where you are. Do not take the meeting lightly, things start small, but the consequences become fatal!!!

    • Actions speak louder than words. President Lungu is also a Tribalist! Why didn’t he start his meetings of Chiefs with Chiefs from Southern Province? Tribalism will not end in this country if the President himself is showing a bad example! This is a very bad start! Horrible!

  2. There was nothing tribal about the votes. People just voted for those they thought would take the country forward. If one was not worthy of the peoples’ vote, then they did not deserve it. Please be sensible and reasonable. Even chiefs have joined in this rant. What type of a country.

    • Southerners won’t support you degenerates. They are too intelligent for you. You can elect yourselves if you want to. Southerners can survive on their own.

    • @ 3.1

      THEN LET SOUTHERNERS NOT I MEAN NEVER COMPLAIN ANYTHING CONCERNING THIS COUNTRY’S GOVERNANCE. AND TELL HH TO QUIT POLITICS SINCE HE TOO IS A SOUTHERNER.. AND STOP CRYING ABOUT LOSS OF ELECTIONS, HE AND ALL U SHOULD BE CELEBRATING THAT HE LOST. IF AT ALL U MEAN WHAT U’VE JUST SAID.

  3. OK bakateka, nice one. I just hope the voting pattern witnessed recently will not happen again in 2016, no one is to blame here, almost all the tribes have become tribal, but for our friends in Southern province, they are at 98.9% tribal

    • When i hear allegations about tribal segregation of those in the south by other countrymen,i find it strange as it seems other tribes are blind to their nepotism practises. As to every action there is a reaction ,i want to believe that tongas are just reacting.So were also the westerners due to developmental isolation.Therefore,i urge those who point fingers at other tribes(be it tonga vs bemba or vice versa)to stop and think why they are doing so.The obvious answer is that themselves are tribal inclined.It is like the tag of racism which of late has been lopsided.It becomes only racism when a man of color is mistreated by the white but vise versa ,it seems not to apply.So you who is busy calling others tribal are the most tribal person.

  4. Imwe a Lungu, you at are a president, stop blaming voters. You arrived at night for a rally in l/stone, spent 20 minutes in Monze and Choma combined and cancelled rallies to Barotse! Can you shut up and sort the constitution…..you are now a president for heavens sake.

  5. Good start, we in North Western are not happy with selective development that was encouraged pursued by our late president where, Muchinga province in terms of infrastructure looks more developed than North Western province which contributes a lot to the national budget. We need unity, and no tribe should they more entitled to rule than other tribes. We should see a cessation in the family forest sort of deployment to national positions. K.K is a good example of a man who embraced all people and previous government is an example of grand and institutionalized nepotism.

    • @ 7 Lonwabo Tsotsobe. Stop your ZWD exaggeration.
      I was in Muchinga in October and travelled through Mpika, Chinsali, Isoka and Nakonde. I did not see the development you are talking about apart from the university and a few office blocks in Chinsali – which is the provincial HQ. Infact the road between Isoka and Nakonde was dangerously bad and I saw many overturned lorries as a result. I know you have an agenda but be fair.

    • campaign strategy.If they can win northwestern province over then they reckon 2016 will be a win with a bigger margin

  6. ‘He said he was not impressed with the voting pattern in the elections as it reflected what is actually happening on the ground.’
    May I kindly remind you in case you were drunk when you uttered these words.
    1) I don’t need the votes from Southern and Western province.
    2)You declined to appear on the TV debates
    3) You either cancelled some meetings in Southern , Western province or you were late.Worse or it all you did not even dare to go and introduce yourself.
    3)You spent a lot of amount in the Northern province.

    • So your excellency ,how did you expect people who have never seen of heard of you to just vote for you?HH touched every corner of this country but was rejected because he is Tonga

      You are the president of Zambia and please can you folster unity by first apologizing to the people of these regions for calling them tribal and then immediately appeal to the North Eastern Zambians to avoid the xenophobia that is being unleashed on the Tonga people.

      YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL TO ORDER YOUR CADRES TO STOP THE ETHNIC CLEANSING WHICH STARTED THIS MORNING IN KITWE AND LUSAKA MARKETS!

  7. Zambians have a profound respect for their chiefs. I’ve been propagating since 1989 that rural development should be channelled through the chiefs. Rural citizens respect their chief more than the MP. Good move Mr President. I could not have done it better. This will be a formidable platform for Unity, Progress Nationbuilding and Development (UPND)…..Sorry guys, please pardon the pun!

    • Does the president want the chiefs to tell their people who to vote for? The chiefs have nothing go do with the voting pattern. People were simply voting for a candidate of their choice that’s all.

    • @Zambia United, no paramount chief Mukuni has already won that battle. So the president has no chance on this one. If you think and do not acknowledge that what southern chiefs did was implicitly telling their subjects to vote for a particular candidate (HH) then we are in trouble as a Country.

      “We the chiefs of southern province (in short Tonga chiefs) sat and resolved that we shall endorsed Hakainde Hichilema.” Mind you, they sat and discussed this! Other chiefs in other provinces endorsed candidates on a personal level, not as a regional block. Now if you think this kind of behavior from our chiefs in southern province is not sending a negative kind of message to their subjects and citizens from other parts of Zambia, then you need your head checked. Seriously!

  8. BA mudin’gai mean nyenga yetu you refused to be relocated to pave way for the biggest shopping complex and the state of art intl airport which govt suggested in solwezi. Why complain

    • In your dreams. The brazen tribal regime of the former president never had those development plans for Solwezi. You must be in a stupor of some sort to come up with such a lie.

  9. State house is now open gates. Let school kids visit state house as well.

    And not only expired products.

    Let opposition leaders go to meet El.

    Dont follow tricks of bitter hh.

    Am sure hh will even stop southern chiefs goin to meet EL

  10. When is lungu calling chiefs from the northern region? Is lungu saying the way the Northern people have been voting has been right?

  11. Xenophobia is looming in Zambia if this tribal talk is not controlled. Selective development overlooking Northwestern with three major mines contributung to the National treasury, tuji enu tuwa,

    War will be on Western Zambia Vs Eastern Zambia…

    Continue pushing us too far before we explode.

    HH was talking of uniting Zambia now this ka Rabbit Lungu is talking of vegeance…we shall fight

    • So which is Western Zambia and Eastern Zambia if I may ask? Don’t include Copperbelt because it does not fall into your selective development rant. Oh don’t include Southern as well because it is one of the most developed.

    • So when are you fighting u coward, instead of hiding behind a computer with a fake name. Come out and make bold threats, id10t

    • @kasaka you don’t understand anything just enjoy your stay in the big apple.
      Xenophobia is being encouraged by leaders who are supposed to be fostering unity.People are being persecuted for supporting HH.
      Are we in a one party participatory democracy where Lungu is standing with Frog ?
      No the best candidate who sells his vision gets the most votes…Oh no not in Zambia any more because if you are Tonga even if a dog today stood for pf,the dog will be voted.

    • Who are your parents, where were you born and are you normal? So, your parents taught you to call others names let alone the President a rabbit? Listen pal the Internet is not a hiding place. Your posts here have your IP address and we can find you very easily in just minutes.

      Don’t be gullible, we can get everything about you in a stroke of a second. Don’t insult the Head of State, it’s still illegal to do that in Zambia. The long arm of the law will find you.

    • Iwe chi @NorthWestern…, your rubbish is getting way out of hand. Use your original pseudonym too, you coward! These things you are yapping about can only get your cousins and relatives in Zambia killed while you hide your shriveled up b@lls in some Western country. Don’t try to be a toothless keyboard warrior for nothing you !d1ot!

      Lambaland is the source of wealth on which Zambia has been built since the arrival of characters like Cecil (sp) Rhodes. And rarely do Lambas say !d!otic stuff like some of you scumbags. When did Northwestern province start contributing even a pound of copper to the wealth of Zambia?

      By the way, NWP only contributes about 40% or less copper wealth. The rest still comes out of Lambaland. So please shut the fcuk up you genocidal maniac!

    • Iyoo uluchipumbu “NorthWestern Zambian”, where has President Lungu ever said revenge? Some of you lumpens should avoid social media before you insite people to war. You are truly the epitome of a lunatic!

  12. PF is a useless party and its going NOWHERE under Lungu. ECL is such a confused fellow and will teach him a lesson.

    We r not scared of anything as people of the South. The spirit of Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula is still alive even today NO ONE CAN STAND ON OUR FEET.

    • Nkumbula was a uniter and he brought his party to join UNIP so that we could move the nation forward. Let me ask you this, if HH really loves Zambia the way he says he does and has a formula to uplift lives of those living in poverty, why not tell us that secret formula so we can start implementing it now.

      Why wait 5 more years until he wins the election to show us if he really is a patriot? I once asked him that question in a private setting and never answered. That’s when I knew that for him, it’s all about himself.

      A doctor anywhere just into duty when he finds an emergency. You could be on a plane, at the railway station, in a common toilet, anywhere and when an emergency occurs, he jumps.

      If Zambia is an emergency, HH has the SOS, he would have joined forces like Nkumbula…

    • Ba @Anderson Chisala, please learn your history. Harry Mwanga Nkumbula was a gentleman and a Zambian patriot. He was NEVER A GENOCIDAL MANIAC like your little toad HH. Everyone respects Nkumbula’s legacy and what those gallant men and women of that era stood for to unite Zambia and its people. Neither you nor HH can walk even a yard in Nkumbula’s shoes. So stop dragging his name in dirty you losers. Get a life for goodness sake!

    • To All thugs and political demagogues

      Please allow the President to run the country. Stop victimisation of individuals who belong to opposition political parties. If anything, we should thank them for forcing HE E Lungu to reject Sata and PF’s way by doing the following:

      1. Recognition of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu
      2. Appointing a VP from a province which did not vote for PF
      3. Holding Press Conferences
      4. Reviewing the Public Order Act
      4. Releasing the Constitution Roadmap etc

      We thank HH for putting pressure on the PF government while the MMD (except Dr Mumba of course) knelt down to beg the people of Zambia to retain the PF government so that a few individuals could be pardoned in suspected criminal cases in the courts of law. Thank you HH for sacrificing.

    • Continue ranting year in year out you f00ls. Nobody in their right mind pays particular attention to your foolish poorly thought postings. Most of you are not even living among us and have little impact on the lectoral process and the governance of my country Zambia, thank GOD!
      Anderson Chisala which feet would anybody even stamp on, you have feet of clay, like the biblical ruler, you cannot stand as youir foundation is shaky and crumbles at every quake Zambia produces. Go get a life you sad mother fcuker.

    • @Anderson Chiwhatever..
      You are the reason why Doctors spend conutless hours trying so hard to discover medicines to treat people with a skewed brain like yours. And you are the reason why Garry Nkombo had the audacity to ”think” that Zambia is full of id!ots because of meat heads like you living amidist us! Where your brain was supposed to be, I guess, there must be sewer water! The likes of you are people who are making the work of your candidate very hard and difficult….damn what am I saying, nearly forgot that he cannot be a President because he is an id!ot! Mind you it’s not me saying that it was Garry Nkombo!

  13. there’s no tribalism.If theres then its not only southern province but Muchinga,Nothern and eastern.They also voted for LATE SATAS PARTY not EL as such.Mr president look at your former cabinet was it inclusive?That’s the root cause of the so called tribalism.Remove speck from your eyes before you do so from anothers eyes.PF brought in tribalism.Just look at the previous appointments?

    • What I admire about the Tongas:

      1. So independent minded.
      2. Determined and goal oriented.
      3. Open and forthright. Most Tongas are generally reliable and will not steal from you. Till today, Tongas respect property and wont generally steal someone’s chicken or goat let alone cattle. Animal spend the night unguarded, outside!
      4. They are studious. I know from experience at yunza!
      5. They are faithful to what they believe. See how long they stayed with ANC, UNIP, MMD and now UPND.
      6. Tonga men will declares kids born outside wedlock and raise them but other men’s kids are only known at their funeral!!
      7. Tonga women are the best and hardworking. They wont insult you in public!

    • BR Mumba

      Brother Mumba, I would personally pursue what you suggest for those who insult on these blogs. The following cowards need to be unmasked and brought before the courts of law:

      Yambayamba
      Gen.
      Kudos
      Haleisa Halenya

      So if you really mean what you are saying and seeing that you seem to be well connected in the PF government, please help us. The language I read on these blogs can easily lead to civil strife and even worse, civil war. So if you love President Lungu, please help him to unite the country. Mocking HH for losing this election only makes those who voted for him, their families and friends bitter. Bitterness only leads to hatred and hatred leads to fighting. EL and those who voted for him want to prove their worth and not to torment HH. NO. b

  14. Y u guys keep crying over Bembas, Bemba’s don’t just support pipo just for the sake of supporting, their support is based on thorough analysis that’s y they av supported different pipo since the coming of democracy, and that differentiates them from their Tonga brothers who vote bcoz someone is their on. this is the reason they always support their on HH whilst claiming he is intelligent and except others to support him. they cry if others do the same. Look HH is saying his votes were stolen bcoz he is Tonga, I don’t think this wl gain him votes I feel it wl even cost him in 2016 if he keep crying over tribal.

    • Many people would say Aka was intelligent and popular. During the 1996 elections when Agenda for Zambia contested the elections, he was getting 0 – 2 votes in the Northern region.

      Mazoka was also said to be popular but in 2001 he lost the election because the northern regions rejected him.

      Let us help our new and young President to rebuild this country by uniting its people. I am not PF supporter but now that EL is President, let us support him. I urge HH to seek a private meeting with EL and reconcile. HH’s anger at the outcome of the election is understandable. HH was consistent and courageous even during the late Sata’s rule. The late even encouraged cadres to ridicule HH by publicly despising him. HE EL be your own man as the late Levy did. Ditch hooliganism.

  15. HE EL has recognised Kanyanta Sosala as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba with immediate effect. He signed the SI today.

  16. Those talking about tribe are the first believers and actors of tribalism . Look at the precious cabinet , if it was inclusive who was from North western? Observe the current regime instead of making the poached young man Kafwaya into full cabinet minister he is made provincial minister to further cause more confusion in the province. Really it shall be an uphill battle for the Youngman to influence people of northwestern. To avoid the belittling of tribes govts developmental agenda should cut across whether or not the area voted for you. We shall always remember our late president the late Mwanawasa( mhsrip). Let us stop insulting each other,I never chose to be borne in NWP neither my children to be hated . The one Zambia is fading slowly because of the political conduct.

  17. IF IT TRUE SOUTHERN AR TRIBAL .THEN WAT ABT NORTHERN I FEEL IF THESE ISSUE AR NT SORTED OUT. THEN ITS BETTER WE SHARE THE LAND.THEN TO B CONSIDERED. AS DULL TRIB. BCOZBTIM WIL SOON REACH WEN WILL NT ACEPT.

    • The only person and organ which can resolve the rise of tribalism since 2011 is His Excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu.

      I suggest the following to him:

      1. Outlaw behaviour and talk that promotes tribalism.
      2. Transfer public servants to provinces other than where their tribe is dominant as KK did.
      3. Discipline Ministers who publicly talk ill of leaders of opposition parties. This role should be left to the party spokespersons and the Head of State.
      4. Stop talk of favouring areas that support the ruling party in terms of development. Government revenues are generated and contributed by all Zambians regardless of political affiliation. Needless to say that HH is among the biggest tax payers in Zambia due to his personal businesses. We need more HHs.

  18. @BR mumba,its a pity that a person of exposure can think so [email protected] truely u live or lived in usa you should be well vested in policy matters b/n democrats and republicans.A vision cant be transfered though can be copied.Hh is not the only rich guy in zambia But He is the richest political leader.upnd has its manefesto .use your exposure to elevate the zambian common man mentality both in blogging and intellect.

    • @planzo, which America are you talking about? I live in the USA and B.R. Mumba is right. Even if we have Republicans and Democrats with their separate party manifestos notwithstanding, when it comes to governance issues both parties almost always try to influence policy. Even the Medical Insurance Reforms that Obama passed, Republicans had their own proposals. In fact, some of the provisions included in the final Act (Law) were Republican ideas. For instance, the Insurance Medical Exchanges.

      And on so many occasions I have heard the president, Republican or Democrat, tell the other side to bring forth their ideas. So, just because you are in opposition doesn’t mean you can’t make your ideas known and contribute to the policy making of the nation.

      No secrets here!

  19. The big deal is, the West, South and North West can’t trust the Northeners and Easteners no more and theirs every reason to believe them. People are feed up and shouting party- tribal rants won’t solve anything. Some one needs to listen to the rural folk and attend to their need now because it’s a now situation. Life in rural areas is unbearable and town folk are being selfish with their developmental
    priorities.

  20. @7.1 Kasaka I really don’t know how long you have been away from Zambia, have you been to Solwezi of late? Can you point at any 6 storey building in Solwezi? The tallest building in Solwezi is like a 3 storey building which is a Napsa building. The proposed administration offices in Muchinga goes to about 6 floors, being built as we speak. There are two universities in Muchinga and none in NorthWestern. Our mines are churning out money for the nation and the previous govt decided to only build in Muchinga Province because the president came from there. Please will you kindly point at any project that makes a difference in the entire North Western Province. Or please just do yourself a favor and just shut it.

    • So if they had built a single storey unit in Muchinga you would then not complain ???
      Don’t compare newly designed things to old stuff. If there was no developments in Muchinga again you wouldn’t have your complaints??? Please lets not be retrogressive as a nation. Don’t stop Muchinga developments but encourage same to also go to North west.This syndrome of saying its either I have it or nobody does is pure trash.

  21. LIER.
    eL. Why didn’t you condemn chiefs who were publicly indorsing you and encouraging their subjects to vote for you on tribal line?

    The only credible chiefs who remained neutral was the Litunga (KING). not these other small cadre chiefs like Mpezeni,

  22. It was avery experiencing period for those of us who participated fully in the recent elections. I have gone through most of the statements that people are posting on this platform, but I feel pity on them. There is no way you can talk to the president right now and think that when election time comes he will abide by the proposed approaches. One thing to realise is that, ELECTION TIME is a different ball game all together. People or polticians tend to envolve during Campaign period depending on the messages from the opponents. Sometimes these politicians just find themselves drifting into tribe alliances to make it to parliament or statehouse. Mind you, in Zambia, politics is a source of employment. What needs to be done is to tell these politicians never to use abusive language on other

  23. ?@Let me say this, I can not agree with you more, you have the answers for the dilemma currently engulfing the Nation. One thing to realise is that the fever is still fresh and we shall soon get over it, but we have to really look at some permanent solutions. But importantly too is, let us not use insults towards our fellow humans, their creator who is above may get annoyed, more especially when they make no responses.

    Generally selfishness starts at household level, then to community, then Societ as a nation. What I am trying to say is, at individual level we should be as analytical as possible on isswues that are happening at National level, because the source is actually at household level. As for politics it is equally the same.

  24. Yamba yamba dont be dull, can you compare the infra structure in Lamba land to that of the North Western Provice? You are not complaining because not only did your copper build other towns but Lamba land also. What has Copper built in the NWP??? Dont just talk for the sake of it, be real.

  25. Things could get worse in the next 20 months.He should have extended an olive branch to HH and offer him a power sharing deal to heal the wounds.Obama did that to Hillary Clinton.Be smart and tactfull.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

    • Hilary was a fellow Democrat. What you are talking about is the healing with PF i.e. between President EL, Miles Sampa, Dr. Kaseba & GBM, if that is possible! Not Obama with George Bush in a government of power sharing? Some bloggers are so ignorant that they should completely avoid political discourse on social media

    • CAF U
      Iwe what power sharing deal? Two different political parties with two very different ideologies? You must be a retard! Am off to China malabishi ya blogging!
