Respect for each other is one of the most cardinal aspects of life more especially to our leaders. Zambians have always been known to be people with utmost respect for everyone, and that is why we have not experienced any wars. We have always lived as one with much consideration for each other’s feelings. Do you know that Zambians are easily welcomed in most lands in the diaspora? It is because of the way we carry ourselves. Realistically, there are very few Zambians who have been paraded as crooks or thieves in the diaspora than we can compare to other countries.
However, this nice picture we have built for many years is fading away very fast. The people who have been making the dent of this clear picture of Zambia are mostly elders who are leaders for that matter.
The following are some of examples on how certain characters have caused the fading away of this good picture.
Mr. Sata Michael, the current Zambian President has lived almost the whole of his political life as an extremely abusive person. He has never respected anyone starting from the eldest to the youngest person, from the smallest person in society to the biggest. He extended his insult donation to almost all the leaders within and outside the government.Mr.Sata has never cared about anybody’s feeling whatsoever, anywhere and anytime. To add more weight to his decorated system of tantrums and insults, Sata would take advantage of his well-connected Bemba vocabulary to unleash them to anyone who crosses his way.
For instance, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa really had a very tough time living with Sata in the same country. No sooner had Mwanawasa become the President than Sata started decorating him with serious abusive language.Mr.Sata was really ready for this as he promised Zambians including Mwanawasa that he would make Mwanawasa’s rule very rough. This is the same Sata who would mock the healthy condition of Levy by calling him “cabbage”. During a well-attended rally in Lusaka, Mr. Sata even showed a cabbage to people and said this was their president (Mwanawasa), and then he cut it into two pieces. At the same rally Sata said Mwanawasa’s brain was just picked from the tarmac after an accident and packed it in his head then he is called a president.Mr.Sata heavily insulted the president and even called him a fool. While all this was taking place the PF cadres were extremely happy and clapping hands and shouting, Pa Bwato.This was in 2003 in Kanyama Constituency.
There was nothing good Mwanawasa did which received Sata’s applause. He criticized anything and in each critique he produced, it was spiced with several insults and mockery. It was during this period that Sata, the cobra, started campaigning on tribal lines by showing how Bemba’s were suffering under Mwanawasa’s rule just because Chiluba F.T.J was being pursued for corruption. It was also within this period that Kenneth Kaunda, the first Zambian president, father of the nation, called Levy Mwanawasa, a fool and an abnormal president.
Again do you remember how Sata told Maureen Mwanawasa that she needed alangizi for answering back on the insults leveled to her? For a lady to be called you need alangizi, it is a serious insult to that woman’s integrity and respect. Do you think these victims of Mr. Sata’s insults were happy? No.
Further, Mr. Sata recently nicknamed the late former vice President George Kunda a red lipped snake. When Kunda was taken ill to South Africa, Sata was at the center of gossip and talked badly about the sickness of George Kunda who was vice president at that time. Sata said these words “when I was taken ill to South Africa, I came back with intact lips, but this George Kunda should tell us why his lips are like that. He talked a lot of bad things about Kunda’s illness. This showed that Mr. Sata, who doesn’t want his illnesses to be talked about, had no respect for the Vice President. He only showed respect to George Kunda after his death because even when Kunda was in the hospital, Mr. Sata together with his wife Kaseba never went to see the sick George Kunda in UTH.Dr.Kaseba perfectly avoided going to see Kunda in the hospital even when she was few wards away from where he has sleeping. We haven’t forgotten on how Sata called George Kunda the dullest lawyer in the world.
Next, do you remember how Mr. Sata and Winter Kabimba enjoyed calling Rupiah Banda Nyama Soya? During a particular discussion with the fourth organ of the government, The Post, Kabimba, the secretary General of the PF, called Rupiah Banda, Nyama Soya repeatedly. The Post Newspaper using its puppet, Chocklet, drew Rupiah Banda and called him Nyama Soya. Most of the PF cadres in the streets, churches, schools, generally everywhere were happily calling Rupiah Banda, Nyama Soya. The PF and its president, Sata, never cared about the feelings of Rupiah Banda and his family.
Is it not the same Sata who called Hichilema, the UPND president the under-5? How can a grown up person with children be called an under-5? All the PF cadres upon hearing this were very happy and jeered at the UPND cadres.
Finally, I want all the PF cadres to know and hear this. We are really enjoying it today to hear Mr. Sata be called Ukwa or Chimbwi No Plan just as they enjoyed insulting other leaders. Just as they found pleasure in either insulting others or enjoy hearing others being insulted, we are surely finding pleasure and leisure in either insulting them or hearing other people insult them.Mr. Sata is not a god who can’t be insulted back at an appropriate time when he insults others. A lot of PF cadres are very annoyed hearing their president being called Chimbwi no plan but they should have been on the forefront helping their president Sata, Kabimba, Kambwili etc. to not only control their tongues but also be economical with their words on others. Is it not Kambwili who told people from North-Western Province that they are as behind as buttocks? Do you think people from North-Western Province were happy to be insulted?
What the Pf cadres including the President Sata and his family feel today after being mocked and jeered is what we felt that time he was championing his talent of insults on us and our leaders. In fact we will never stop this as he never stopped to date. We cannot apologize as he never did to anyone on earth. He only carried an apologetic nose after he fell ill and flown to South Africa for treatment by Mwanawasa. But even after that, Sata said that Mwanawasa took him to South Africa for treatment for political reasons and gain. How ungrateful the character is.
Let all those leaders of crude governmental organizations and Churches tell their boss, the pay master, Chimbwi no plan and brains to apologize for all the insults he heaped on people dead or alive before we can apologize to him and the PF minions. In fact the insults flashed on President Sata are far much less, in size and meaning, than what this Sata used to flash on others.
These guys forgot that their time would come. Yes time for them has come. Time for insults, nicknaming, jeering and mud-polishing is now on them, for them, because it was by them. In fact we as amateurs in these things as are just assisting them, pioneers of Insults
WE WILL CONTINUE TO CRITICISE THESE PF CADRES, WE WILL NEVER STOP CALLING YOU NAMES BAD OR GOOD, WE CANT STOP INSULTING BACK AND WE WILL CONTINUE ENJOYING HEARING THE PRESIDENT, MICHAEL SATA AND HIS BRANCHES BEING INSULTED ALL THE TIME. In fact SATA taught us best ways of insulting of leaders when he did it to Kenneth Kaunda, Mwanawasa and Rupiah Banda.
Find out from Kenneth Kaunda, the best ally of Sata, how he suffered insults from Sata after 1991, then Levy from 2001 to 2007 and Banda from 2008 to date.
Later you will find out from us how Sata suffered insults from other people from 2011 to…
We will never stop no matter what even if Sata, Kabimba, Kambwili and Gay Scott turned into vicious lions for what goes round comes around.

zambians,do not think that sata and pf will rule for ever. if Dr Kaunda who gave us free education and free all most everything is now out of power.Only GOD rules for ever. HH is just giving out checks and balances but because he is Tonga all what he says is concidered as useless.And what we should not forget is that zambia has 72 tribes if not more hence anybody can be a president.I do not know why when HH talks he is said to be tribal.Mind you Mr Sata is not only a president for a certain tribe but for all Zambians. Ladies and gentlemen lets not divide the country. ”One zambia One nation”.If we are not careful, this media will divide us.All tribes are equal in the eyes of God.

“WE WILL CONTINUE TO CRITICISE THESE PF CADRES, WE WILL NEVER STOP CALLING YOU NAMES BAD OR GOOD, WE CANT STOP INSULTING BACK AND WE WILL CONTINUE ENJOYING HEARING THE PRESIDENT, MICHAEL SATA AND HIS BRANCHES BEING INSULTED ALL THE TIME”
IT IS TRUE THAT SATA MADE SOME DEROGATORRY REMARKS AGAINST OTHERS AND WE SHOULD NOT DEFEND HIM WHERE HE WENT WRONG. YES HE IS OUR BELOVED LEADER . NO DOUBT. BUT THE AUTHOR IS FORGETTING THAT SATA USED TO RESPOND TO INSULTS THAT WERE INITIALY POURED ON HIM. OF COURSE HE DIDNT NEED TO DO THAT. ALSO, TWO WRONGS CANNOT CREATE ANYTHING GOOD. SO YOU AS UPND/MMD ARE ON THE MISSION TO INSULT SATA. PLEASE CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR ALREADY DYING POLITICAL PARTIES. IT IS ALSO DIFFUCULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE WITHOUT PROVOCATION WILL JUST WAKE UP ONE DAY AND SAY “SATA IS A HYENA, CHIMBWI” UNLESS YOU ARE HURTING FROM SOME LOSS SUFFERED AT LAST YEAR’S GENERAL ELECTION.
