I think you are mad, you are probably the only person supporting Robert Mugabe, what has he done for your country except reduce it to a land of starving people, count how many innocent Zimbabweans are living on foreign soil. your country was called the bread basket of southern africa, now you can't even grow enough to feed your selves, it's people like you benefiting from ZANU-PF at the expense of the whole population. indeed you remind of of animal farm (all animals are equal but some more equal than others)your hands have been greased by ZANU in one way or the other otherwise if your children were sleeping hungry and you did not know how to provide for them you would think twice. you are a very pitiful person, i feel sorry for you.
Dear Salome, I would like to register my heart felt condolence for the death of the Zambian head of state.The person you are referring to as mad is not mad but let me tell you what he is.The guy is one of the human dogs being spond fed by Mugabe other wise he would not say such a thing about the dead person.Given the African setting or norms, it is not allowed to say some after the death of a bad ruler let alone the angle like Mwanwasa.Mwanwasa is now at the right hand of the GOD but soon Mugabe and his human dogs will be in exceptional hell.

Please grow up and behave in a decent manner. Mwanasa never murdered anyone, he was democratically elected by his people, he turned the economy of zambia round and just about everyone on the international stage has not had a bad word to say about him..expect you bitter mugabe lovers on here. If you love your mugabe that is fine by us but do try to keep your garbage to yourself...we could not care two hoots about how you feel about your failure of an idiot mugabe and trying to compare him to statesmen like levy and mandela only shows him up to be a lightweight murdering little thug!!!
You disgusting bastard ! Death and bad wishes to you ! I shall visit my ngana and have a curse put on you ! You will encounter nothing but bad luck ! Mwanawasa was a great man and you defame him ? Psssop ! MATAYAKO, MBOROYAKO ! You disgusting scum , how can you defame an great African leader ! MTOTO |! You will taste bad luck ! The bones are thrown ! Bad Luck ! I suppose you work for the herald ! Yourlife is over ! Hokoyo ! The angered MKASA !
MAKASA . You need to watch your . you need clorine and bleach to wash it . may be you like MBORO i have a big one . but you are lucky i respect people when they speack their mind. let get to the bottom of this. for veryone over there. MUGABE is the man , althaugh people have died , i'm not happy about that . and for MWANAWASA I'M NOT SORRY . with all due respect to the beautiful and wonderful people of zambia and MWANAWASA's wife and children i'm suddened and expess my deepest condoleances. THE THRUTH IS I NEVER LIKE MWANANWASA. but MUGABE did fight for for congo,and the great people of zimbabwe. THE BLACK PEOPLE IN ZIMBABWE NEED THEIR LAND BACK.
makasa. Don't waste your breath on that ungreatful brat from Zanu PF, who thinks he is enjoying because he has a newspaper for toilet paper. Levy was a great man, he has left a legacy in Africa, boots too big to be taken over. That's why i cried along with the Zambian people when that man died. Mbeki is just as useless and undemocratic as Mugabe. This is a dark moment for Zambia and Zambians so instead of exchanging insults online lets mourn in peace.
alain..you are right about having a big mboro...its called Mugabe!!!! Now piss off you and your mugabe loving sewerage that's coming out of your mouth. dont forget your thug is 80yrs now..wont be long before they are lowering his stinking body into the very same ground he has had others lowered into..and then WE will ALL rejoice on here and about 5 or 6 of you on here can weep and go and cry at his funeral and make the numbers up to about 10!!!
alain lubumbashi, you are the Refuge, an idiot, stupidy, arrogate, you are like the one just from hamering pwe in the toilet. Keep on your fooloing insultments, they will take you no where with your man mugabe.
On behalf of my family and my fellow Zambians, I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the first family over the demise of our President. He was agreat leader and our memory of his deeds shall continue to thrive for a long time to come. He interalia fought corruption and tried to bring discipline even among political leaders. Just hope that the invisible hand of God wil prevail and enable his successor to continue in the same trajectory. MHSRIP
Mugabe, your tribute is not allowed in our Country, as for you alain - go to hell and have a party down in hell with lucifer who is happen to be your father..
Brothers and sisters of Africa,some of you are useing quotes from the Bible while trying to solve you problems there. Don't do that.That's why you're where you are now .Don't keep looking up to the Sky.Brit/USA,are still using that same garbage today while they build new War machines and ask you to grow Maize.Negotiate from the formula of truth and false,then I'm sure if there is a God he will step up to the plate and bat.While living here in America I love my people there. When you win I win. Oweij Liebo Tarboro,North Carolina U.S.A.
"Brother", Zambia is a Christian nation and we are proud of that, so don't go on and disrespect our religion. What is written in the bible is holy and should be treated with respect. the area of discussion is Mwanawasa's death and not God. Never comment negatively on things you hadly know about.

I would like to pass my hearrt felt condolence message to the people of the Republic of Zambia for the great loss of His Excellency levy Mwanawasa a true stateman who had his people at heart.This also came as a big blow to the Sourthen African region and Africa in genaral as his democratic principls and rule of law attitude were to relive many suppressed african brothers and sisters in africa.
We the people of Zimbabwe were also looking upto him to help solve the crisses in our country as he was the fist SADC leader to openly critisice our presidence re-election and the only one who could face him tell Mugabe what he is doing is wrong as some leaders seem to fear him save for Ian Khama who is now the only one left with a great job to ingite the democratization flame in africa.
I pray to God that may HE recive the LEVY in HIS Kingdom. MAY his SOUL rest in peace. AMEN
A great loss to Africa! A great man indeed. A true statesman!!
Rest in Peace Mr. President...... God Bless the people of Zambia in this troubled time for all of Southern Africa!
If only Southern Africa had more true leaders like yourself, who put the good of the many above the ambitions of the few..... The future of democracy in Southern Africa has lost a great champion, a man of principle, and an example to the other leaders of Southern Africa,, unlike Comrade Bob and his whore Mbeki.
Revolutionary leaders who brought freedom from colonial oppression have no God-given right to subjugate their people in the same way their colonial oppressors did (like ZANU-PF and the ANC have done after gaining power). President Mwanawasa saw this, and rightly argued that the mandate to govern comes only from the CONSENT of the people.
Some in the ANC recognize that, in the long run, their justification for remaining in power will come from the success of their present policies (and not the fight against colonialism) and their efforts to raise the living standards of their people. ZANU-PF never recognized this and their Marxist ideology caused them to believe that once they had obtained power, they could remain there indefinitely.
All of Africa is lessened by the loss of this man. I am saddened and so should we all........
Indeed Southern Africa region has lost a great leader. May President Mwanawasa's soul rest in peace and God give strength to his family and the people of Zambia in this troubled time. Zambia's lets unite and shame those who are rejoicing his death because they know of their wrong doing and think he was a threat to them.
Levy Patrick Mwanawasa SC has shown great leadership qualities and will be greatly missed. He brought hope to Zambian Economy and confidence to the investors at large. He brought accountability and transparence, which bit by bit was gaining momentum in all government and others. A man of law and hunter of corruption this has greatly reduced. He has managed to put Zambia back on the lost track worldwide. For the first time in long time we recorded bumper harvest in the passed few years this was only possible due to his able administration we stand out proudly and say again we have managed to DONATE food stuffs like Maize to our strangling neighboring countries like Zimbabwe.
As Zambians we will greatly miss his leadership services that he offered tirelessly in helping to building of this lovely nation Zambia. My prayer is that let our mourning be peaceful in honor of our great leader. We are known to be a peaceful country hence let us holds on to that even after!!! MY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
Goodbye Dr.Levy Patrick Mwanawasa you are indeed an african statesman,and your name will be forever remember in the minds of all those who believe in the struggle of african liberation and good governance,and may your demise mark the begining of more of those individuals who believe in what you preach to always continue the struggle.

Amen brother ! Mwanawasa was a great man ,not like Mbeki the great "NKWENKWE" ! Kwatcha was achieved because of people like Mwanawasa ! Not scum like Mugabe !
Really, how do you manage to say prayers and shout evil at the same time? What a religion is that? I am sorry for the loss of all of us but at the same time I should like to remind you to be positive and constructive. I am sure his Excellece, President RMG is sorry for the death of Mwananawa ...a real Levite.
Alain lumbumbashi, Mugabe certainly had his arrogant laugh at the expense of the illness of President Mwanawasa. Yes Mugabe, how far is your laugh going to take you? What are nations and leaders of the world going to say about YOU as the devil lifts up your soul into eternal hell? The world will rejoice and say "GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH. Thank God that murderer is no more and may his soul rot in hell", and Zimbabwe will celebrate with song and dance. To the grieving people of Zambia, the whole world is praying for you at your great loss. Your President was indeed a great fighter of corruption and champion of democracy. May his soul rest in peace.
Akapfunde, perhaps YOU can tell us what religion it is that you pray, shout and commit violence at the same time. After all, is it not many of you Zanu-pf supporters of murder and violence that on one hand, you quote passages from the Holy Bible, and on the same breath you beat, maim, torture and murder innocent Zimbabweans? I am sure many of you go to your churches like hypocrites to pay lip-service to God as if He cannot see the wrongs you are doing to your fellow men. Mugabe sorry about the death of President Mwananwasa? You pathetic bloody hypocrite. Get stuffed with your bloody Levite.
Mwanawasa will be missed in the region, and this coming thursday when his boby comes to Livingstone i will travel to bit fairwell to a great man.
You are a very very angry young man!!! I have never murdered any one and l have no intention to do so in the future. Just because l do not see eye to eye with you on various issues does not make me a murderer. GROW UP and learn to accommodate those who differ from your good self, my son otherwise. Good lucky, my dear.
Akafunde I sure AM angry at all these leaders who think they can just kill people, and also at people like YOU who support them. What we support, who we support and associate ourselves with what they embrace is a mirror to what we uphold. YOU support a vicious murderer Mugabe and you sit there like a fool and have the bloody audacity to tell me to "grow up". What have YOU, old man, done to improve your lot? All those young marauding lawless youth who vandalize maim and murder, as a 'grown up man', how many of them have YOU Akapfunde, told to stop and desist and return to school? All the children forced to live without their parents and left to be raised by God knows who because you lot have pushed their parents to flee Zimbabwe, who will teach and nurture them? All those children who have witnessed their parents' screams whilst being beaten, hacked to death, and burned alive, who will hear them when they cry out at night with nightmares? 4 year old Ashley, son of Emanuel Chiroto of MDC, watched his mother Abegail being brutally and viciously Murdered by Mugabe's men, are YOU or your stinking wife there when he has those nightmares? So I say to you, "Go to bloody hell old man. You have learned nothing in your stinking 66 years of useless existence. Get stuffed!
Sorry for being nice to you. I say things are bad for you because you are a borne COWARD and have no guts to make principled stand. All you do is shout insults! Tell me, how is Zimbabwe improving by using all those vile words? What have you so far achieved by your puerile approach? You are a coward??? Yes you are, how dare you insult my wife ...has she written to AllAfrica.com??? I wish I could meet you face to face and make you answer a few questions. Of course, I cannot do such a thing ... you would not come out of your hiding. Once more I support His Excellence, the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Gabriel Mugabe. He is a victim of your MDC agreeing to the imposition of sanctions on Zimbabwe in order to get the Zimbabwean common man go hungry and revolt against their Gvt. The MDC succeeded in that. People are dying of hunger, education has been disrupted and worse still, as you rightly pointed out, families have been destroyed, whole generations are growing up without papa and mama around .... all this was and is being done by the MDC in their quest for power. Actually the recent elections were not fought on a level field, MDC had an unfair advantage as the people were going hungry and therefore were voting with their stomachs. Things are bad in Zimbabwe right NOW and Mugabe is not entirely to blame. Before MDC sponsored sanctions against their own people, we were managing pretty well. After all have been said ..LETS AGREE TO DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING PERSONAL. GROW UP!!!!!
Akapfunde, one day when Zimbabwe is finally free of Mugabe, I hope Zimbabweans will round up all you brain-washed good-for-nothing pieces of human waste Mugabe stooges and shove you down the latrines where you belong. If you cannot stand up to protect women and children just as YOU are doing right now, then YOU are the coward because you lick Mugabe's boots in fear of him. Even when Mugabe arrogantly insulted a great African statesman of Zambia Mr Mwanawasa during his illness, you did not even have the courage to say "Mugabe this is wrong". You are a good for nothing coward Akapfunde and Shame on you for trying to put blame on MDC for Mugabe's wrong doings. We are not stooges to entertain the trash you write so YOU had better grow up old man and save Yourself from being a laughing stock for contributing such crap. Useless man who can't even stand up for children. Get stuffed.
Actually l have been standing up for children through the Jesuit fathers at Makumbe (Chinahamhora) amd Musami (Murehwa)missions. I do what l can do with my limited means. I am fully aware of the very difficult life of Zimbabweans , especially the old ambuyas, sekurus and young people who cannot understand why their once prosperous land has turned upside down. Insulting people, me or the President of Gt Zim does not help feed and pay school fees for the destitute. For instance, what have the masses of Zimbabwe gained by your calling me names and promising to kill me when the MDC rules. So you are just as bad as those ones burning people in their houses or chopping of hands. Give me a break. You are a coward and a very emotional, frustrated and misguided young man. YOU ARE THE FUTURE, control your temper and you shall achieve greater things. Your Zimbabwe, is completely different from mine when l was your age. Be positive and use all that energy to improve the lives of those around you ... throw threats and insults.
Akapfunde, where in all my posts did I ever say I am going to kill you or make any such threats against your life? I did not know that one can kill someone from cyberspace. What a shame the message of love, protecting your neighbour and the promoting of life as sacred did not sink into your head from those Jesuits. You support Mugabe and all his works, all his pomps and all his empty promises AND ALL HIS KILLINGS. You support the devil in Mugabe Akapfunde, so stop being such a hypocrite by trying to parade as a Christian. If you knew what Christianity was , you would CONDEMN all the evil Mugabe is metering to Zimbabweans and not once have any of us have ever heard you say so. You have always regarded Mugabe as "MY beloved president" therefore YOU are no better than the rest of your Mugabe killers. Get Stuffed.
Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa's death is a sad event for all freedom loving peoples of the world. I pray he is in the Lord’s arms, and his family secure.
