  1. May his sour rest in peace (MHSRP).Let us be peacefull brothers and sisters for this trying moment. Love u zambians so much though am coming from attending driving tests at ratsa passing on cons an failling on de road

  2. Politics and football aside, this is a sad development for our nation. MHSRIP. Can the powers that be show leadership and quickly inform the nation who is in charge between Dr.Scott and Hon. Lungu?

  3. @ manfree I hope your driving is better than your spelling….kekekeke!!! Just kidding my man.

    Very sad indeed the news on King Cobra. MHSRIP. I only hope that all the politicians that were jostling for the position will at least wait till the mourning period is over before they start their drama.

    We have been very fortunate us in the Zambian footballing fraternity that we have had head of states that have all supported our beloved game of soccer. I pray this trend continues.

  4. Sad for our country. After he won presidential elections in 2011, there was massive celebrations across our country which followed by afcon triumph. He increased salaries for public service workers by morethan 150%, the 8000 link Zambia project etc. He will be missed.
    Edger Lungu should take over and win the upcoming bye elections. No more u-5 chaps

  5. MHSRIP King Cobra was a man and will be forever be rembered for what he did for the nation. This starts from when he was Minister of Local Government, Minister of Health etc, very vibrant and result oriented. Bro Stumpy pliz keep politics out of here, the best us football lovers will pray for is that the next president coming will be a lover of the game just like RB. A young leader will be very ideal at this juncture. God bless mother Zambia and let peace reign.

  6. May his soul rest in peace. ITS NOW TIME FOR YOUNG BLOOD just as in soccer we need to phase out the Katongos,Mbesuma,Chamanga,Musonda and the like.

  7. The Only Man that believed zambia can rule itself, he fought for Zamtel. he brought back ZRL to zambians, Its realy a sad moment, HHSRP, Hop Guy scot can rule for 90 days then Lungu wins the elections. Rest in Peace Mr Sata.

  8. Sleep in peace mister president!( s.i.p)

    Safe journey!! May god give his family esp the first lady the heart to withstand this!!

  9. We all knew this time was coming the only thing is that no one can be ready if though its coming RIP Chilufya Data Mr President
    I remember when he was being interviewed by Anthony mukwita and people were phoning on the other side was in unanimous
    The president said “ninkwishiba iwe,niwe mwanajiti elowanya nganaba president” miss ya mudala

  10. Sad moment for Zambia, hope we get a good president that will not tolerate corruption and will be able to stand up for the Zambian people against the vultures, the Chinese. Memories? This guys chased me from his office when he was mister of potifolio because I asked him what were the trends and what was being done to improve Women employment status in Zambia. I was asking a survey sort of question for my international Baccalaureate paper topic. I figured he was misinformed in that corrupt MMD government so he thought I was getting information for the opposition party. Rest in peace Mr. President, you stood up for Poor Zedians.

  11. Ama Zambians UBUFI praising people when they are dead, yaba. Kwena tuli fipuba period as far as uku ta sha is shani, guys kwena awe

  12. Why not call a sapade a spade, Sata was animal farm period. How many people have lost families during his time in Office? Yaba

  13. Justice lukanga kafusha ilicipuba weka wilatubikako,jst listen to yourself. Almost all the pipo posted non political condolences msgs showing how soccer has unified us then waleta ubupuba insulting us.if he did nothing good to you jst keep quiet.Mr Sata rest in peace I wil personally miss you.

    • Iwe ikala fye with your hidden identity. If you man enough, why dont you disclose yourself. We chipuba ni we pretender

  14. sad that the president is gone. very sad indeed. i believe the next president should be Hakiande Hichelema (HH). He is educated, he is young at 52 and he has money. Someone with money is what we need. We dont need a broke president whose aim is to loot the economy. HH is the man lets give him the job of taking zambia forward.

  15. I will never be a pretender, better off being ichipuba and tell the truth than being fake. Most people pretending to cry about Sata are the same people who have been wishing him dead under hidden identities on the Zambianwachdog and Lusaka Times, Some of them are here under different names. Why pretend is my big question???

  16. Kuti wasumina ukuba icipuba kwena wakulakula fye namano tawakwata lukanga kafula,too bad the league is ending ngatwalikuma pakumba ba Rangers.am not hiding identity am Buza kabwe from kitwe.

  17. Dont speak ill of the dead regardless……just a piece of advise to you Justice. In as much as I also think Sata was not the best leader for our country in this time of mourning I will not speak ill of him. After this period we can then engage and speak on his leadership style if it was good or bad. No disrepect to you but it is extremely childish and nonsensical of you to post such a comment dead smack in the middle of the mourning period.

    • Big Steve from SA where were you when SATA had more than 600 nurses fired? Why did he opt for treatment outsider the country when UTH is there? Tell me. How Many People’s relatives have died in Zed because of poor leadership. I Will never parise an idiot deadl or alive periode. It is only with those with the same brains to think like SATA. Late him go

  18. Big steve 4rm SA thank so much for that comment and advice to justice ,dats how wise people like you talk in times like this.in times of death we alwaz come together as one family regardless of differences in ideologie not insults.may the soul of our departed president rest in peace.

  19. NKANA wants Ronald Kampamba’s record of scoring for both club and country in 24 hours to be documented.

    And Kampamba says it was not easy for him to play two games in 24 hours.

    Nkana treasurer Alex Munasha said Kampamba’s record would be difficult to emulate.
    “Special commendation to the jubilee boy ‘Sate Sate’ [Kampamba] for setting the record of scoring two goals within 24 hours for the national team and his beloved Nkana. We hope the authorities will document this and avoid disputes in the future like we experienced the undocumented 107 goals in one season scored by Godfrey Chitalu,” said Munasha.

    NKANA HAIL “SATE SATE” SCORING RECORD

    Kampamba played the entire 90 minutes and scored for Zambia during Saturday’s international friendly against Ivory Coast which ended 1-all, and scored the winning goal in Nkana’s 2-1 defeat of archrivals Power Dynamos the following day.

    “It’s not easy, but the good thing is I did not put myself under pressure to impress. I will not be carried away. I will keep my focus and work even harder,” said Kampamba.

  20. Offside Ba Justice mudala whether Sata did not impress you or not but he was once President of our great nation. Even after the mourning period Sata was a great leader, who always needed and wanted results. We are different and God provides us with different leaders for a purpose. Let us wait and see what the coming leader will bring but whole heartedly we salute HE MCS.

  21. The period I worked in government for the Ministry of Health and he was the Minister of Health. It was the best period of all the 12 years with the ministry. He improved our hospitals, introduced mid-month payment, built a very good mortuary at KCH. The hospital was painted, improved services and morale of workers got up. What a man he was!

    • Bakafusha on this one you are wrong !!! President Sata was a simple man who had the heart for the common man like me ! How ? He laughed at Mwanawasa and Mazoka,Thats a valid point but I dont think Mr President (remember his remainings are not yet barried,to me is still the president and all security wings are aware) laughed at them. President Mwanawasa was a good leader who listened to other pipo and I cant compare the two diferent individuals. On Mazoka I liked him very much infact I gave him a vote when he was swiddled by chief swiddler who some of us well know. Mr President had his own wicknesses like everyone of us, the biggest point here ba Kafusha wesu is that he said ;my funeral has to be as simple as possible. In case you dont know ,there will be no taking of the body for Mr President to all ten provinces and waste tax payers money like we witnessed some six years ago. The body of Mr President will lie at Mulungushi conference center in Lusaka up to tuesday 11 November 2014 for body viewing starting tomorrow . Those who wish to pay there last respect should provide there money for transport and accomodation the funeral is simple. Indeed he was a simple man, he loved the poor! Bakafusha I need an apology please, this man was a hero to me and many well meaning Zambians and am very suprized that big man like you that I should look to can proudly utter those words. Ba Kafusha wesu the respect I have for u all along is the same respect still have for you. May the souls of President Mwanawasa and UPND President Mazoka rest in enternal peace. President Sata Zambia Mourns MYSREP

  22. What are my memories of our late President,! He is a Hero who formed a party alone and managed to become the fith President of the Republic of Zambia. Not only that in 2012 Zambia National Soccer Team became the 2012 golden AFCON champions While he was in plot 1. The players used his His Parties slogan before he became President in 2011 common known “DONCH KUBEBA or DONCH KUBAMBILA. All in all His passion and His character.

  23. why do these african leaders die in developed countries- mostly europe– Levy Mwanawas died in Paris and lately this one in the UK.
