I think many of my fellow Zambians will agree with me that before the PF assumed office our now late former head of state Michael Chilufya Sata (rest his soul) was among those politicians who had suffered the most at hands of the ruling party when in opposition.
In the process gaining sympathy votes for his relentless and tenacious attitude plus the poor people’s identification as being one of their own. I may not have been a big fan of our late president but am appalled by what’s currently happening within the party he founded with his hard work something even he would have agreed with me now.
However my main focus is on how these newly adopted members are showing appreciation to one the founding members, by insulting him? Sorry but that for me that’s far much worse than hitting below the belt, so for lack a better term to describe it (the behavior) i’ll leave it at that.
My disappointment however lies in the prospective employers who despite their new employee continuously condemning the “party’s father” who’s now late, they still go ahead and adopt that individual without even attempting to restrain them from doing so.
Society actually demands we respect the dead but not demeaning them in what we say or rather desisting from speaking ill about their legacy. But my greatest disappointment ultimately is in honorable(if i can address u like that) Mulenga Sata, in an event the party fails to defend your late father’s legacy i expected you to come out pulling punches or at least condemn the attacks on your father by Ms. Siliya.
If not you then no one else will, you don’t expect someone who only just knew your late father as a president to do so if you who knew him as a father can’t.
Please note that the views above are just an expression of my opinion
stella, god bless her soul, is the only who looked like she could don this role but alas, she it looks like she has been pistol whipped into premature submission. shame on sata’s children
Shame on Mulenga Sata.
I agree with you,our late founding father of p.f fought very had in oposition,now irealy can’t understand what’s happening?I can jst say jakals and hyners,they have come over our part.
I agree with you, Mulenga Sata is very docile! His late father worked very hard to leave him where he is but he can’t stand up and defend his legacy! Am very surprised this young man is such a coward! Wake up dull chap before you find everything gone!
You are spot on, Paul. It is very painful to see how some people who Sata suffered so much to make them what they are today are allowing his name to be dragged in in the mud. Naturally one would expect his own children, Sampa and Mulenga, and some of his closest associets like Kalaba, Kambwili, ABC, etc., to stand out and defend their benefactor’s good name! But sadly and shamefully, these charactors have allowed strangers to ride them! One thing you must know you is that pf members and supporters are very disappointed by this sudden turn of events. Venture into the compounds of Lusaka, and you will see how down cast the mojority of the people are. I would’nt be surprised if the situation is the same in other cities and towns as well.
