SATA: KING OF ANIMAL FARM

By JOHN MUSONDA

The defectors of those soar grapes joining the Patriotic Front (PF) at the last minute have earned themselves names of animals of varying description on the sarcastic leader Michael Sata.

Sata boasted as having poached buffalos from the ruling MMD when he referred to disgruntled Chongwe Member of parliament Sylvia Masebo and her Chipata Central counterpart Lameck Mangani who joined the PF in their desperate tempt to survive the current political storm.

The PF “Serpent” further mocks the MMD which has a National character as going for rabbits which in his elusions , were small time cadres like councillors and others at the grass roots level.

The Zambian carrying a research to determine the impact Sata was making by comparing animal behaviour with human beings, and on the outset it was discovered that the PF monster has no regard whatsoever for people as long as he remains at the helm of his sinking boat.

Not long ago Sata rebuffed the massive project President Banda was doing to rehabilitate the Chipata –Mfuwe road which links the Luangwa national game park meant to benefit the local people of Mambwe District but also boost tourism to earn the country the much needed foreign exchange.

Nevertheless, in his myopic assessment Sata scoffed at the road work in question because according to him, it did not deserve attention to rehabilitate as it was only going to benefit  animals;  hyenas, buffalos, rabbits inclusive.

As a result people of Mambwe have since been in arms with lose tongued Sata for referring to them as animals and have declared their area a no-go territory for him as they feel insulted by the king Cobra, the name associated with the Animal world.

They have also warned that even if Sata uses the name of the Kaunda family to field Kaweche Kaunda in the Malambo parliamentary seat in the same district, they will not change their mind to reject him as well, simply because of one of the insults they got from the PF leader.

Instead, the people of Mambwe who are largely the Kundas have thrown their weight behind President Banda and the incumbent MMD MP Maxwell Mwale who is Minister of Mines and Mineral Development, all because of the massive development taking place in their area.

By inference therefore, the so-called high profile defectors such as Masebo and Mangani by virtue of Sata calling them Buffalos, means that they too are untamed cannot so that their rightful natural habitation is the forest or the game reserve.

And the research further confirms that some of the animals Sata is attracting to his vanquished vessel are in fact; fit to be called the wounded Buffalos because of their shady activities as they left the MMD.   If anything, they deserve to be thrown in the animal sanctuary for tourism attraction.

Referring to Sata’s rabbits, the direct opposite of these animal species are the wild dogs, which might as well be attributed to Sata’s small time cadres while the MMD rabbits which by nature, are peace loving and tameable animals, and ready to boost the membership of the ruling party and ensure that President Banda is voted back to power.

A timely warning for Sata – Please beware of your damaging public image or risk to lose the little you may have come the forthcoming tripartite elections.
