@zakeyo – did do any civics? Do you know anything about “disenfrachising’ people?
Democracy is a very good way of life (compared to kingdoms, dictatorships) but it is expensive.

Cost of Democracy and the law my freind.
The faster you come to terms with that,
the easier it will be for you.
No one is above the law, not even good reasoning like yours.

The Chawama Seat should be renamed the “Chakolwa or Kachasu” seat, this is in honor of our Great Leader and former Area MP Edgar Kachasu Lungu.

No one should be above the law but have situation where law is not applied! Meaning law application is selective. I assault you with every evidence no action is taken. You assaults me with or without evidence you are arrested.

@Jane Mulenga,
Any stakeholder might trigger the process, and ECZ is one such stakeholder. The Speaker also requires an envokation by some other party for the purpose of such a Declaration of Vacancy.
But, continue insulting for it appears that is all you do!

Even Mulenga Sata is slowly climbing the ladder in a ‘normal’ way but under five just wants to go right up to the top minus having experience of the grassroots.

So expect the Chibuku Man to try to show his popularity in Chawama by calling the full force of the government machinary accompanied by uncountable bottles of beer to feed all fellow Kachasu fans in Chawama.
The air in Chawama will be poluted with beer.

ZWD is the architect of Tribalism in Zambia.Before these Devil worshipper came on the scene in desperation of putting HH into power,We Zambians were bound together with love embracing our National Motto of One Zambia One Nation until this Devil Dogs Worshippers of Satan came to plant the evil seed of hatred amongst peace loving Zambians.Zambians never knew or bothered about what Tribe one came from it never clicked there minds henceforth a lot of intermarriages to date,till selfish Devils came with a Tribal message.ZWD in fact you have been a liability to HH yourselves HH could have been President but Bcoz of your tribal sermon everyday.You will rot and burn in Hell in Yeshua’s Name.

PF CORRUPTION IN ZAMBIAN BIG MARKETS
This morning, 05 February 2015, the council at one of Zambia’s biggest markets, Chisokone in kitwe called for a meeting with the marketeers. The meeting was meant to inform traders and other people operating in the market that an organization calling it’s self NATMAZ(being run by PF cadres) would start running all council related activities including the collection of market fees(daily) and electricity bills. The organization affirmed that it was given the directives by PF officials including the President. This comes barely Four years when another organization (ZANAMA) led by MMD cadres was dislodged after the party’s dismissal from government in 2011. ZANAMA is infamously known for stealing people’s money and giving people’s shops to other MMD cadres that to this day it’s former president only known as Mr Nkandu is scared of entering the market’s premises. Despite the marketeers opposition, NATMAZ is expected to take full control of the market next week Monday (9th February 2015). The organization has already set up offices.

All people from Eastern Province are rat eaters who cannot also be trusted just like thier Bemba Monkeys Causins.
These two groups of Rat Eaters (Cats or Easterners) and tree climbing animals (Monkeys or Bembas) are very tribalistic and will stop at nothing in insulting Tongas and Lozis.
But be careful you Cats (Rat Easters) and you Tree Climbing animals (Monkeys), your time of staying in Lusaka and Copperbelt Province is now running out.
Edgar Chagwapansi lungu is the Most Hated Man in Zambia, especially in Tonga Land and Barotseland.
You fools you will one day be chased from the Copperbelt Prvince and Lusaka. But I should be quick to mention that Monkeys are more hated by you Cats (Rat Eaters)

@ Mwifunge chi color you got all the brains your money could afford trying to shut ZWD but you failed lamentably, now you think by propergating that We are the causer of tribalism you think people will shan us..never. Tribes has been there from the time when people in Iraq wanted to build a structure to reach heaven and they will be there until Jesus come. at one Zambia One Nation mulelila abanenu masuku pa mitwe. Copper from northwestern is used to build the paul mushindo university etc in the northern & you think we are happy.

Honestly ZWD&UPND fans are promoting tribalism even when they have lost elections. The good thing is we are filling keep on yapping and name calling its making our Mfuwe evening retreat more enjoyable. Check the time am printing this 01:25(01:25am) while you’re busy pleading with creditors to give you time for their money you wasted in election campaign.
