Nalishebo, are you sure you are happy with a thieving president? Then you are a thief too. Without shame your president assumes someone else’s chair and thinks he will be respected? No wonder only the likes of the four can come and witness the illegal inauguration. You, also, must be ashamed of yourself!

Country is polarised, lawyers, professors, politicians and the elites are interpreting and re-interpreting and reinventing , reversing, re-reversing their understanding, interpretation based on where their personal interest lies.
HH camp had ex-PF leaders who were close to late Mr. Sata but had their dream of ruling Zambia shattered when Lungu was elected president in 2015. They were benefiting from ruling Zambia and suddenly it was dark.
HH and his financiers are bitter because they lost millions and there is no chance of them recovering a ngwee of those millions they Invested in Horse named HH. It was a derby they lost. Many will be broke for life and die poor. Chilala’s Kapiri Glass project is in shambles because he funded 2015 and 2016 elections. GBM put his stake on Horse HH, and it seems it is end of his trucking business, and if he is not careful his milling business will be gone as well. As for HH, he is the cunniest out of all these betters. He did not put much out of his pockets. He can live on his cattle.
All those supporting and helped Lungu to win (or declared winner-whichever way one see the election results) are not his friends or in there out of any ideological alignment but Political-Milking the Treasury Cow. They did not bet on Lungu but the big fat cow which they all want to milk day in day out till it is next general elections and new bull on the run.

You eat Zambeef stop lying..! he can live off his cattle, off course he can. GBM mwana wa Mfumu he can never go broke. HH is rich and will carry on doing well. How will majority of the Zambians do? No one complains or make a fuss that Mansa Battery factory closed. No one makes a fuss that food prices have gone up beyond income earners reach…! Schools are a mess and education in Zambia is facing a terrible crisis but government does nothing but throw people in jail. BE WARNED – IMF will cut all food subsidies as part of the deal Lungu is signing….! Zesco might be sold off and jobs will be lost. Cows on HH’s ranch will still be fed…!

I am surprised with the attendance of Ian Khama of Botswana. I did not know that he has the same dictatorship and electoral theft values as Mugabe and Mu7.Yes birds of the same feathers flock together and the last two are buddies but Khama does not fit in given past experiences on Zimbabwe disputed elections. Maybe what brings Khama and Lungu together is Timor Consultants who advised their parties in rigging elections. So Khama,Mugabe,Mu7 and Lungu have shared values in rigging elections.

He is there because he is currently the sadc chairman. Otherwise this would not support such.

That wasn’t kumanda with HH. It was kumanda with ECL. He stole this election. He is used. He has never won any election since he ascended to the PF presidency. The wages of sin is death! The supporters of this evil are also dead. That is why Mambilima and Mwanamwambwa could not dignify this function with their blessing. It was illegal! When are you going to get this into your thick head?

Lungu, with his hypocrisy has added to a specimen of “Christians” who have repelled potential christians from coming to the Lord. How can an election thief–some body engaged in blatant electoral theft–raise a bible to justify something evil. God, God, do something. Why should mere man mock you, O, Lord.
