FORMER First Lady Christine Kaseba has eulogised her late husband President Michael Sata, who died a year ago today in a message to mark the first anniversary since his death.
In the remembrance message, Dr Kaseba, who dotingly referred to the late head of State as “Bashi Chilufya” or “Ba Mikaeli”, has also thanked God for President Sata’s life, saying it touched many souls in different ways.
“We thank God for giving you to us. Everyday is a constant reminder of the good and bad times we went through, the loving and sharing, the giving and caring. I miss your jokes and Bemba sayings. With fond memories, I remember how we stood together facing those difficult situations till we conquered. Oh how I miss my friend and confidante,” she reminisced.
She also remembered one of Mr Sata’s favourite Bible quotes – Luke 23: 28, which reads: “Weep not for me but for yourselves and your children.”
Dr Kaseba said the scripture has come to pass that she and the children have been left to cry for themselves.
“It has been a painful year, full of hardships, trials, tears and sorrows. I search for you and find you not, wake up every morning reaching out for you but the harsh reality of your permanent absence haunts me and I cry my silent tears hoping that it is just a bad dream and one day I will see your face,” she reflected in part.
She thanked numerous friends and family that have supported the family throughout the year, saying the support and care have been a source of strength and hope.
“Through it all, I have learnt to trust in Jesus and I have been amazed at what faith in God could do,” said Dr Kaseba.

Michael probably the most powerful politician of the modern times. He was a political heavy weight no one in his/her right frame of mind can dispute this. M.Y.S.R.I.P Michael.

Sata was a thief, ruffian and political prostitute. Kaseba was and is still a prostitute, husband snatcher and living on treasury, shameless widow of a snake, a real snake.

Are you aware that alot of UPND members were still PF when Sata was president, I am proudly one of them and alot more are leaving. So that doesnt mean I cant pick a phone and call Mrs Sata on her sad day to wish her well just because I am now UPND. I thought you attended 18th Oct prayers, thats a problem with stunts you are all coming back to your usual self.

Mulichipuba.To most of us we will remember Sata for what he was an illiterate dictator who should have been nowhere near power.Those of you who chewed with him just moan him in silence.Ati man of action see where his so called action has left you.Sata only serves as an example of what a leader should not be.Most idiots out there cant even see the link between his incompetent leadership and why life is so hard today.That is n African for you.What a waste.

Yet Edgar Chagwa Lungu kicked her out of the party she and her own husband founded and helped to grow. Edgar need to apologize to her and other PF Founding Members he has sidelined. Ati… prayers of reconciliation. This is one evil man who all of a sudden its all religious in past 3 weeks. Founding PF Members are still banished to the peripherals of earth yet he thinks he can fool Zambians with reconciliation prayer stunts. Why didnt he first reconcile with his own PF Founding Members if he was genuine about it? Secondly, for using Sata’s vision has he personally acknowledged and payed homage to Dr Kaseba on Sata’s death 1st year anniversary? Talk about hypocrisy in capitals.

This was a leader who gave a premium to every pronouncement and coined the 90 day time frame. Unfortunately, things run at a pace slower than words and little wonder is there to marvel at the legacy left. It’s a time to reflect on his efforts against deeds and a sharing experience to upcoming political aspirants. MHSRIIP

Wake up you sleepy Zambians. For all the RIP I can wish Micheal Sata, I can only say he was a selfish and useless leader. He was a very sick man for a very long time but he kept acting out he was in good health. Why else didn’t he choose someone to succeed him? Because he thought he would live forever(unfortunately a trend with most African leaders). Live forever indeed. Even advanced private medical treatment in England didn’t save him. He just left a hefty medical bill for the government. Useless and selfish to the core!
