SATA Family Talks Tough

LATE President Sata’s family has condemned the abuse of his name by some family members engrossed in succession wrangles.
Speaking when some family members went to lay wreaths at the late president’s grave yesterday, family representative Sylvia Chalikosa said it is disappointing that the family has shown disunity instead of supporting each other.
Ms Chalikosa is President Sata’s niece.
“It should be noted that none of the family members involved in the race consulted us or sought our advice from the family of President Sata,” she said.
Ms Chalikosa said instead of washing their dirty linen in public, well-meaning family members should resolve their issues behind closed doors and devote their time and energies to bringing unity in the family.
“We should state that the family has not supported any candidate so far and will rely upon the Patriotic Front (PF) to do so. As the family, we will support whichever candidate PF will pick,” she said.
Ms Chalikosa urged Zambians to support the Sata family and give them adequate space to grieve and come to terms with the devastating effects of losing the pillar of their family.
The family members who were present and signed the statement are Sylvia Chalikosa, Monty Tembo, Mwamba Chalikosa, Katema Mutale, Susan Sata-Ngwengwe and Fabiola Sata-Liu.
Others were Yvette Sata, Yvonne Sata, Mwango Sata, Mpanga Sata, Mwango Chalikosa, Hildah Sata, Noble Sata, Rachel Banda, Sylvia Banda and Mwango Mwape
Some members of President Sata’s family have applied for adoption by the PF to contest January’s presidential election.
The presidency fell vacant following the death of President Sata in London on October 28, 2014.

So ba Kaseba, Mulenga Sata, Miles Sampa, GBM, Bashi Nono are doing it out of greed. It’s a big shame on the Sata family and the nation that a grieving wife would betray the family and nation by stoping to mourn and join the race for presidency. If she can’t care for the funeral of someone whom she claimed to love she won’t care for Zambians who are not even related to her. From the look of things this is a very confused family.

  The same people YOU would ve cried Sata is giving power to his relatives (nepotism). I still believe they are entitled to contest it’s a free country death or not

  Ati instruments of power do you even know what it means? Being put to act for few days doesn’t give u wisdom to rule for years. Sata went for a checkup little did he know he will die. A lot acted on his behalf b4 it happened that Lungu was on the seat when he died so from that he’s now capable to rule Zambia?

It is like a soap serie whereby a poor porno star gets married to an old millionair in america. And after his deaath she rushed to plunder his accounts. The next she was seen dancing in one of the night clubs. Psychologically I fail to see the difference between this woman and Mrs.Kasebo.She is just a pretender and cannot be fit to run the country. I support the concerned Sata family who are still grieved by losing their loved ones. While Mrs. Kasebo is only mourning the fact she shall neer be a woman of public attention.

This all started with this useless Kaseba, Scott, the Cartel and not endorsing Lungu the peoples man. This family who wants everyone to be president should be condemned at all costs. Guy Scott has nothing to lose but to disturbilise the nation thru the cartel

Leave Dr. Kaseba alone. Lungu is the one who is running a cartel of renegade cabinet members.

since when did one’s democratic right become a family matter? I have never seen a family that will agree on everything. so the few family members that were consulted are enough.
GO Doc Kaseba…
