Congratulations to the people of Zambia!To show Mr Mwanawassa the door out is a very good news to the entire Africa.Mr Mwanawassa was a bogus President, from bogus election, dealing with bogus investors.It's a good indication that Africa has nothing to do with the crooked friendship imposed by the so called friends of Africa.The westeners must redefine their way of conceiving african mission;otherwise, people like King Cobra will emerge from everyway in Africa.

Thanks to the people of Zambia The Real Africa, for voting out Mr.mwanawasa and saying bye to those good for nothing investors. We thank the G 8 countries and those who have passion for Zambia and other third world countries. While we praise China for helping in different projects, we condenm those Chinese bogus investors.Africa and zambia in particular needs serious people who can help develop the nation and not exploit the citizen. We need visionary Leaders who cannot be bought nor sold. ViVa M.C Sata.

People must know what is good for them, what President Levy Mwanawasa has done for the dear Zambian in just few 5years was good for the better economical growth of the country. In just a few, we have seen opening of new investiment in many areas of the country . In Chiluba's time of 10 years of office we saw the closer of all the coppermines in the country and Industries who workers he failed to their benefits.We saw in Chiluba's term an increase of street Kids, street women and street Men all because of the loss of their Jobs.I feel it is an fair for some people to call Levy a bogus Man just because elections results appear to go the other way. People must learn to understand the way country actives are handled. Let us wait and see at the end of the road of this year's election.

Mwanawasa has already done it again. The MMD are putting Zambia under a one party dictatorship. Mwanawasa has rigged the elections as his little friend did - Chiluba. this is unbearable, when Zambia was under Kaunda - they knew what the deal was but what the MMD is doing is making it seem as if zambians are stupid blind fools and wasting efforts of voting.The MMD are sticking tight to their power and wont let go.

well lets look at facts than insults in matters that affects our country.if we have to look back from 1964 when zambia got it's independence Dr keneth kaunda did his best to develop zambia's economy in various sectors of economical development such schools,hospitals,road network as well as in creating jobs for zambias. but when chiluba took over power all that kk fought for went to waste due to poor management of the chiluba leadership.and whem President Mwanawase took over he had to mend what chiluba damaged in five years and to call him names wont help our country develop please lets learn to look at issues than jumping to condemn him.we have already seen in this few days what sata is capable of doing nothing but bring ploblems to zambia especially that he want zambia to be like zimbabwe.

Africans! listen it is time to wake up and be concious.Trust me this 60years and above old men that have taste the sweetness of power have no plans for mother africa, the dont respect the citizens of africa,and the worst of it they dont even care about the entire africa education at all.All what they think is that africans are idiot,we dont know anything, and so they think they can treat us anyhow.but one day God will kick their asses and they in the hell fire with their entire families.Zambians be patience, even me as a sierra leoneans we are suffering in the hands of these satanic forces that drop in these our beloved africa continent.in Jesus name they will all paralize and perish with their evil forces.

Sata should stop the propaganda and accept defeat by Levy Mwanasa

THE FACT MR CHIBALE IS THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING THAN BEING BORN, THERE IS NO SOLID FUTURE FOR THE PEOPLE - NO JOBS, S.AFRICANS HIRE S.AFRICANS, WATER SEWERAGE NO LONGER BELONGS TO THE GOVERNMENT, WHAT CAN WE REALLY CALL OURS AS ZAMBIANS? MAYBE THE FLAG THAT STANDS INFRONT OF PARLIAMENT......CHILUBA WAS 10 TIMES A BETTER MAN THAN LEVY AND THAT WILL REMAIN A FACT..........
