Late president Michael Sata’s Widow Dr. Christine Kaseba has revealed that her husband trusted acting President Guy Scott to guide the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) forward.
Speaking to Journalists after she led the Sata family in laying wreaths at the grave of late President Sata at Embassy Park, Dr. Kaseba said although she hates the use of the word anoint, her late husband trusted Dr Scott to guide the PF into the future.
She noted that her husband was conversant with the provisions of the constitution in regards to succession in the event that anything happened to him and that he was confident in his choice of Vice President, Dr Scott.
Dr Kaseba added that claims by some people that he anointed them are misleading as it gives the impression that he deliberately traveled to London to go and die.
Dr. Kaseba has since called on all genuine PF Members to support Scott.
This is the first public statement the former first lady has made since the burial of the late president on November 11 and may yet add another twist to the ongoing succession battle in the ruling party.
Pipo I thot Kaseba z a respectable person,nw I knw she z worse than a fool.I believe she z nt even sry 4 our SATA.Sata owz left Edgar prepairing him bt Kaseba wth Yo head up disrespecting Sata’s decision.I ll nver respect u coz u dnt deserve 2b respected u fool.Hw cn u stat supoting da cartel.I hate u Kaseba
The best the crying members of PF can do in order to use their blood money, instead of crying for a convention, is to form there damn own parties. I mean people like GBM. The majority members of the central committee have spoken as there is no better democracy as the game of numbers. We know what happens at conventions and as such we know why we may seem to be against the damn idea. Some of you have out rightly confirmed to the fact that you joined politics in order to enhance your businesses hence I would like to bring it to your thick headed ideas that, you’re not the kind of leaders this country needs . Mind you we have got a legacy to protect which we were happy about for the past few years the late Mr Sata ruled this country.
by the way who is kaseba who does she think she is?
foolish woman.
She is the former first lady…You empty heads that think a person has to be criticised just because you are anonymous should shut up and keep your cowardly acts under your bed. Kaseba is speaking sense. Any rational person would follow her logic but because you have vested interests in whoever takes over you want chaos to prevail
please tell that woman to respect her self.we need to have our own person edgar lungu
madam kaseba be very carefull atherwise ,we shall insult you just keep on mourning our beloved father mcs.
SHE HAS NOT MADE ANY MISTAKE.
SHE NEEDED TO CLEAR THE AIR AND SHE HAS DONE WELL.
PF NEEDS TO GO TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. MPS ENDORSING LUNGU HAVE AN HIDDEN AGENDA; TO PLUNDER NATIONAL RESOURCES AFTER THE DEATH OF SATA.
LUNGU WILL BE ROYAL TO THEM, SINCE THEY WILL PUT HIM AS PRESIDENT. THEY WILL STEAL AT WILL AND HE WILL DO NOTHING.
ZAMBIANS IF LUNGU STANDS ON PF TICKET, LET US VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION.
PF MPS WANT TO PLUNDER.
DR KASEBA HAS MADE THE SAME MISTAKE MAUREEN MADE AND HAS HENCE LOST SYMPATHY OF MANY ZAMBIANS. SHE EQUALLY RULED THIS COUNTRY LIKE MAUREEN DID. SHE GAVE US AN EXPENSIVE STATE FUNERAL WHICH WAS GOING TO BE AVOIDED BY TELLING THE TRUTH. SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND (OUR PRESIDENT) BY NOT LETTING HIM RETIRE. ALL THESE ISSUES WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT HER BECAUSE OF HER CARELESS STATEMENT. PLEASE MADAM STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS. LET MAUREEN ADVISE YOU.
BY ACTION AND IT IS IMPLIED THAT OUR PRESIDENT ANOINTED LUNGU. SINCE YOU ALL DONT WANT LUNGU AGAINST PEOPLE’S WILL, PF IS NOW LIKELY TO BE A 3 YEARS TERM IN OFFICE PARTY. BUT IS THIS WHAT WE WANT? NO. WE LOVE PF AND THAT IS WHY WE SPEAK THE TRUTH LIKE THIS.
l ‘ve very high respect 4 bakaseba but da way she is putin herself on da chopin board, she may hurt herself.please madam u ‘re stil mournin.
Dr. Mahtani’s money has been used to buy out Dr. Kaseba so as prop up the chances of the British cockroach to colonise over an African country.
If Sata trusted Guy Scott, as being treacherously lamented by Kaseba, why is this woman hiding the vital facts to the effect that Sata never entrusted Guy Scott with the instruments of power to act a President each time the president left the country? Zambians know that President Sata always requested Alexander Chinkwanda or Edgar Lungu to act.
The people of Zambia want to know as to what prompted Guy Scott, soon after Sata’s death, to fire Lungu from the position of Secretary General. The people want to know as to whose strategies is Guy Scott implementing by firing Hampunda, and appointing Kasolo (a criminal) as PS of Information.
Dr. Kaseba must be reminded that Maureen tried to prop up Magande as having been annointed by Mwanawasa. Both Maureen and Kaseba displaced Patrick’s Mother and Mulenga’s Mother. The so called 1st ladies must stop meddling into the democratic processes of their husbands parties. – or else they will endanger the welfare of their children. Kaseba should consider re-applying for a job as a Junior Medical Doctor to earn a descent living. Politics is a very rough game.
Hmmm, iyo kwena ba Mwansa kabinga mwalifulwa. In democracy, everyone has a right to comment on politics. Also do your research better, she is a consultant (very senior doctor) and not junior doctor.
If Sata loved Scott very much and had much confidence in Scott why did Sata not give an opportunity to Scott to Acting President? Neither did President Sata anoint anybody nor groom anyone to pick up the mantle? Why would anyone appoint some one he doesn’t trust to Acting President? People who are saying that Lungu is useless have no respect for our late president for having appointed Lungu. Let the Acting president together with the central committee work together. The constitution of PF is more biased, it empowers the central committee to make decisions at the expense of the general group who belong to PF. Be aware of groups of cartels who want power in order to steal. Failure of PF members to act in one accord will result in MMD coming back to power.
