    What about you Sata, who is going to consider you just as a Zambian icons? Mandela is considered as a world icon. KK=mad ,Chiluba =thief,Mwanawasa =Good.RB = silly,Sata=Useless.

    7 days is too much.Two or Three is ok

    The real heroes of the RSA struggle are unspoken many lie in unmarked graves others live behind the scenes and no one even cares about them. Mandela was just the face of the struggle and not the struggle itself

      As participants in the global social situation Mr Sata is merely being socially appropriate. Mr Mandela stood for equality and justice for all. Any one who believes in these I deals will be proud to associate themselves with the Mandela legacy cause if not then …………….

    surely! Why mr president? 7 days is too much, this is what mazombwe shud ve had. These shaka’s decendants ll never moarn KK like that. KK did a lot more than mandela without KK MANDELA was going to rot in prison forgotten by all.
    Mandela, good as he was, i think he has been exaggerated by the whites just coz he forgave the their fellow whites in south africa. They ve pushed that idea down our throats just as useless zambians ve been brainwashed into believing the english premier league is the best in the world yet its the most amateurish.

    Its fun how some small minded zambians are even insulting sata and KK for someone they ve never lived or spoken with

    Thanks President Sata though the 7 day mourning has come a bit late. Mandela valued Zambia very much such that its the first country he first visited just after being president, and he persuaded Angolan president not to go at military war against Zambia when Chilba was gun running with Savimbi.

    1. Gracia Machell, a presidential material to marry KENNETH KAUNDA of Zambia.

    2. Nelson prison number was 4-666-4.
    Mark of the beast in the Bible is 666
    And 4 in Japanese is SHI meaning a closed door.
    (666) is a number for Nelson. Nelson has 6 letters, Madiba=6, Mandela with its origins from M’ndela=6 letters

    Is the fool going? He will just embarass us there will be world leaders there and some may have no hair. The idiot is capable of making that an issue and he did this at RSA signing of book of condolesces! Irrelavnt issues during a serious occassion.

    @ Sorry and @Mwanamubotu III: you guys really cracked me….”That’s wat u get wen u hv a grade 1 drop out as prez…”….”Is the fool going?…..Irrelevant issues during a serious occasion…” I cant agree with you more. Anyway I am told he is not going but sending KK….If you ask me I think it wont look good. I was of the view that he and KK must go together because he is the current president!!!!

    Are you Zambians learning something from your fellow African neighbours on how to mourn soberly? The South Africans haven’t brought their country to a halt like you did when levy died. Rugby,cricket,football matches are being played with only a minute’s silence as a mark of respect. Commercial Radio stations are not dictated to as to what kind of music they should play. In short business is going on as the nation mourns
