SATA Tells the Bemba Traditional Council NOT To Install Sosala as Chief Chitimukulu
SATA
Patriotic Front Northern Province chairman Everest Chela said in an interview that Mr Sata had called him to relay the message to the BTC not to hurry the installation of Henry Sosala as paramount chief Chitimukulu.
Mr Chela said Government wanted outstanding issues with the BTC resolved before the installation as it was the presidents wish for harmony to prevail.
Sosala
The BTC has in the past maintained that despite Government’s decision to degazzette Mr Sosala from his position as senior chcief Mwamba, it still considered him as such and went on to appoint him as the next in line.
Minister of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Nkandu Luo had made a statement that as far as Government was concerned, there was no Chitimukulu.
The BTC responded by saying Mr Sosala was now Mwine Lubemba and would be treated as so.
However, Mr Chela as emissary of the president said he had a telephone conversation with Mr Sata where the head of state said he had not degazzeted Mr Sosala as “he had managed the fete all by himself.”
Mr Chella appealed to BTC to have accommodating dispositions to enable Government to participate in the installation and to ensure cordial relations between Government and BTC prevailed.
Efforts to get ta comment from the BTC spokesperson Chief Chimba failed by Press Time.

Learning what from HEMCS who does not understand the Bemba culture? Is it the role of the President to install a chief in Bemba tradition? Democracy must start with chiefs as well. We expect another Pobo after Pobo by bashilu -Bemba TC. Faka Pressure please!!

You must be a 24-carat ***** to want to learn something from Sata. He has failed to bring GBM and Wynter together and you expect him to preside over the Mwinelubemba issue? It is not the preserve of the president to choose ANY chief in Zambia. These are trraditional issues so Much that if the BTC so wishes to pick a ****** f**l like the president himself, so be it. After all the chief would be superintending over a smaller area compared to him.
