TUE. 30-04-2024 (SMART EAGLES)
Former First Lady Mrs. Esther Nyawa Lungu has expressed discontent over the ongoing persecution against her and her family, asserting her resilience and vowing to fight on.
“God is big, and he is the one we are leaning on! I will not be shaken! We never stole anything, and God knows”
“We are going to dance to man’s tune, BUT God knows as there is always light at the end of the tunnel. They are not taking away our lives”
“How many First Ladies have gone through what I am going through? Anyway, God knows”
Appearing before the financial crimes court, Mrs. Lungu addressed various women’s groups at the Ministry of Home Affairs following the adjournment of the case to 16 hours today.
The Director of Public Prosecutions seeks to forfeit her 15 double-storey flats to the state, alleging they are proceeds of crime.
Conversely her son Daliso, daughters Chiyesu and Tasila have not remained scathed by police that at one time almost bulldozed down the barrier gate to the house of the former first family in full view of media camera’s, local and foreign.
Being a firmer first lady does not exempt you from criminal prosecution. Clearly you were deceived by the owner of the sack of money who has immunity. But we also have a nice surprise for bene be kasaka ka ndrama.
You have distinguished your criminal profile amongst all of Zambia’s former first ladies. Bravo
Consider yowaselufu lucky to merely forfeit the properties. You should have been locked up.
How many former first ladies have looted the country’s resources in cohorts with their husbands?
From selling salaula to billionaire it can’t happen!!! your your friends first ladies were very disciplined that is the reason why they are not being followed up, mind you your husband said that kuti walya but noti kulya nembuto meaning you can steal but you shouldn’t eat even the seeds.Your husband was the worse president which we had never had.madam go back in archives and check how your husband misruled this country.
Here is a free piece of advice to Mrs. Esther Lungu:
Explain to the court where the resources to build those flats came from. Playing to the gallery is of no use whatsoever.
Maureen Mwanawasa was investigated by Rupiah Banda’s government but she never complained about it in the media. Rupiah Banda’s supporters arrogantly told the election-winning coalition built by Levy Mwanawasa that “no person from a small tribe should ever be allowed to be President again”. What’s Esther Lungu complaining about?
That was the rebirth of regionalism…thank you for helping us trace the root.
Thieves always complain.
They did not steal….simple. You go through muck if you steal!!! Learn this sweet girl. The law has no first lady, girl! Your husband is not shoving his dang because HH is a rare breed of good men. He has principals which your husband buck teeth doesn’t have.
Shovelling
Mrs Lungu please stop undressing yourself in public, and why bring God in the issues of theft? Do you think God is a fool? He can see what you did to the people of Zambia. You should have known that stealing isn’t good. The difference between you and the other former first ladies is that they never stole.
You were a thief. The rest were dignified and focused on their charitable works not amassing wealth or hiding $400000 in cash at someone’s house. So keep mum and hope you are treated fairly
And how many former First Ladies had stolen the way you did? You are even failing to keep the money in the banks, 400,000 dollars giving someone to keep for you. Isambi likonka umwine, you stole alone and you have to suffer alone, why do you want other innocent former first ladies to suffer with you?
How many flats did the other first ladies build?
Mama mutinta hichilema went through hell during HH fake inceration. God has elevated her and her husband to first lady and president now. God can’t be mocked.
The difference between you and the other Fist Ladies is;
You are a thief, they were not
You are married to a thief, they are not
You are ugly, they are not
You are corrupted and they are not
You are from the streets they are dignified
Is this really helpful, Buckteeth Lungu? You can make your point or points without insulting.
Our mother the former First Lady mama Easter Lungu shouldn’t blame the government of persecuting her or being mistreated. The government is simply investigating her to establish the source of her money she used to acquire the properties which is alleged to have been obtained dubiously. The best she can do is to tell the Court the source of her income she used to acquire the properties and that shouldn’t be a problem.
The other issue is that the Lungu family including the former president and their children amassed astronomical wealth within a period of seven years of former president Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s reign. People and the state are eager to find out how the first former family acquired their wealth? As such it is pointless for mama Esther Lungu to start lamentations that she is being persecuted by the State. Wealth gotten by dishonesty will do a person no good, but honesty can save a person’ s life.
I believe outside mama Betty you are close or next to her, I also respect mama HH for her reservedness.
Be strong mama this hatred will also pass. I believe you are a victim of circumstances.
She stole. Don’t butter coat her.
I don’t think so
I wish government retirees were emperward like what we see in that family.People are in poverty after working hard for GRZ.They are still waiting for their last coin 25 years waiting.Those who didn’t work are living life of bliz!They are eating with knives and folks .While dancing fox trote and dancing walz trote.Others are turned to beggers.
If your money are straight just explain and no need of going with lawyers to court madam.when you say that you are not shaken I think on that one I don’t believe you, what makes you to complain it means that you are shaken.Before in power you were very poor but immediately you can in into you become billionaire how?
It is obvious that the former first lady, Mrs Esther Lungu, doesnot view raiding the national treasury as a crime. She has a sense of entitlement that is worrying. Like her husband, the whole family believes in “uubomba mwibala alya mwibala”.
She took a whole delegation of hangers on to the USA at tax payer expense to go and collect old, decommissioned fire tenders. By the way, where are these trucks? May be we should have them in a museum as a reminder to future generations about her excesses.
Which first former first lady had so much money she could entrust USD400,000 to a niece for safekeeping? She should tell us how she made she and her family made their fortune. We know their background and there is nothing to suggest that they are accomplished business people. They became rich only because her husband ascended to the presidency.
The answer is simple!
You reap what you sow!
Repent and tell God how you graduated so quickly from a Namaliketi to owning so many expensive Mansions and a $400,000 to give to your niece for safe keeping.
You are the first family to empverish an entire nation and each family member leaving state house as multi- millionaires!
You think God is happy with your hypocrisy?
Or, by the way, we have not forgotten about your Ngucha (LuNGU CHAgwa) filling Stations!, hiding under a different brand name!
Muli ba Pompwe!
