1Zambia: A President's Joke Gone Too Far?Zambia: Lasa Lavitra Loatra Ny Hatsikan'ny Filoha?
2It was meant to be light-hearted banter between President Michael Sata and visiting former American President George W.Noheverina ho kivazivazy maivana eo amin'ny Filoha Michael Sata sy ny filoha Amerikana teo aloha George W.
3Bush, or so Zambians were made to believe in a statement issued by State House when the host reminded his guest of his country's colonial and slavery past.Bush, na izany no nampinoana ny Zambiana tao amin'ny fanambarana navoakan'ny tao amin'ny Lapam-Panjakana raha nampahatsiaro tamin'ny vahiny ny talohan' [ilay firenena vahiny nampihatra] ny fanjanahantany sy ny fanandevozana ny mpampiantrano.
4Many Zambians online have condemned the undiplomatic view of the US relationship with Zambia.Maro amin'ny Zambiana an-tserasera no manameloka ny fomba fijery tsy diplaomatikan'i Etazonia amin'i Zambia.
5During an open meeting with George W.Nandritra ny fihaonana ankalamanjana tamin'i George W.
6Bush, President Sata said:Bush no nilazan'ny filoha Sata hoe:
7The most interesting thing, previously there used to be four great countries: United States of America, United Kingdom, Russia and France.Ny zavatra tena mahaliana, nisy firenena efatra goavana teo aloha: Etazonian' i Amerika, Fanjakana Mitambatra (Angletera), Rosia ary Frantsa.
8And you have all drifted away; you have abandoned Africa after taking all our raw commodities, our raw materials and build your cities.Ary lasa daholo ianareo; nilaozanareo i Afrika rehefa nalainareo ny akoranay rehetra, ny akora fitaovanay ka nananganana ny tanànanareo.
9I mean, as far as you are concerned Africa doesn't exist.Ny tiako lazaina, eo aminareo tsy misy i Afrika.
10And when we have a former colonialist like you coming back to pay back what you took out of this country we are grateful.Ary rehefa mahita firenena nanjanaka teo aloha tahaka anareo miverina izahay ary mamerina aminay izay nalainareo dia mankasitraka izahay.
11Bush replied:Namaly i Bush:
12Mr. President, I don't want to be argumentative, but America was never a colonial nation.Atoa Filoha, tsy te-handresy lahatra aho fa tsy firenena nanjanaka hatrizay nisiany i Amerika.
13We broke free like you broke free from those who wanted to colonise us.Nitady fahafahana tahaka ny nitadiavanareo fahafahana tamin'izay mitady hanjanaka antsika izahay.
14France might have been a colonial nation, Britain might have been a colonial nation, but not the United States of America.Mety ho firenena efa nanjanaka i Frantsa, mety ho firenena efa nanjanaka i Britaina, fa tsy izany kosa i Etazonian'i Amerika.
15As the story of the gaffe by the Zambian president whose apparent lack of diplomatic etiquette is being noted at most functions involving foreign dignitaries and Zambians abroad went international, past president Rupiah Banda issued a direct apology to President Bush on behalf of Zambians.Koa satria moa voamarika any amin'ny ankamaroan'ny sehatr'asa idiran'ny olo-manakaja vahiny ny gafy nataon'ny filoha Zambiana tsy nanana fihetsika sy fomba diplaomatika hany ka nanao fialantsiny mivantana tamin'ny anaran'ny Zambiana ny filoha teo aloha Rupiah Banda.

20As a matter of fact, this is not the first time that I was hosting former president and Mrs. Bush.Aoka hazava fa tsy voalohany akory aho no nandray ny filoha teo aloha sy ramatoa Bush.
21And I am very grateful that they chose to pay us two visits in a space of six months, which clearly indicates the cordial relations between the two countries and former president Bush's personal commitment to our country.Ankasitrahako indrindra raha indroa nitsidika antsika ry zareo tao anatin'ny enim-bolana, izay manambara mazava ny fifandraisana misy eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta sy ny fandraisana an-tanana manokana ataon'ny filoha Bush ho an'ny tanindrazantsika.
22On a Zambian Watchdog story, “Sata Warns RB”, one reader calling himself Unza Dizzy, had this to say:Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray hita ao amin'ny vohikalam-panaraha-maso [ny zon'olombelona] Zambiana iray, “Sata Warns RB” [mampitandrina an'i Rupiah Banda i Sata], dia nanoratra toy izao ny mpamaky iray milaza ny tenany ho Unza Dizzy:
23It's confirmed.Voamarina.
24He was just joking.Mananihany fotsiny izy.
25HE CNP [Chimbwi No Plan or Clueless Hyena, a reference that has stuck on the president after an opposition leader called him that] is supposed to be running Lusaka play house and not the county.Heverina ho mampilalao ao Lusaka ny “Son excellence” CNP [Chimbwi No Plan na Chimbwi tsy mana-drafitra na Hyena tsy marani-tsaina, famantarana tamin'ny filoha napetaka tamin'ny filoha rehefa nilaza azy toy izany ny mpitarika ny mpanohitra iray] fa tsy ato amin'ny firenena.
26As the head of state how could he always be joking in the midst of wide spread poverty in the country?Amin'ny maha-filoham-panjakana azy, ahoana moa no hamazivaziany ato anivon'ny fahantrana miely manerana ny firenena ity?

28Oh LOrd save our souls!Tompo ô vonjeo izahay!
29How can Sata tell RB to behave as a mature adult when his behaviour keeps causing embarrasment to most of us?Ahoana moa no ahafahan'i Sata miteny an'i RB mba ho matotra raha mahadikidiky ny ankamaroantsika ny fihetsiny?
30That behaviour with Bush if it was a joke was ill-timed and uncultured.Tsy amin'ny fotoanany sady an'ny tsy tsara taiza ilay fihetsika natao tamin'i Bush.
31It was a coarse joke (jesting) which is not befitting for a president.Hatsikana tsy alehany tsy mendrika ny filoha iny.
32This is bad sense of humour please twapapata [we beg you].Endrika ratsin'ny hatsikana iny ka azafady twapapata [miangavy izahay].
33Learn to censor your jokes.Mianara manivana ny vazivazinao.
34Finally threatening RB is uncalled for as the many of us who feel disappointed will speak through the ballot come 2016.Farany, diso toerana ny fandrahonana an'i RB ho anay izay diso fanantenana haneho ny feonay amin'ny alalan'ny fifidianana amin'ny 2016.

37He must be reminded that “Jokes” are for off camera talks and not mu [in] public…Every week, there is a blunder involving HE Sata.Tokony ampahatsiahivina azy fa any ivelan'ny resaka manoloana ny fakantsary no fanaovana “Vazivazy” fa tsy imasom-bahoaka…Misy fahadisoana ataon'ny Hajaina Sata hatrany isa-kerinandro.

44USAID has been the pillar of so many projects in Zambia and Health and Education Depts..Andrarezin'ny tetikasa maro dia maro sy ny fahasalamana ary ny fanabeazana eto Zambia ny USAID.
45Just because China is giving money doesnt mean we should belittle our other sponsors..Tsy hoe manome vola antsika i Shina dia tsinontsinoavina ny mpanome hafa.
46Even a big chunk of our National Budget is stil foreign sponsored.Na dia ny ampahany betsaka amin'ny tetibolam-pirenena aza mbola avy amin'ny fanampian'ny vahiny.
47One tweep was not lost on the catastrophe of putting two gaffe-prone leaders, Michael Sata and George Bush in one room:Tsy very ny sioka iray milaza ao anatin'ny efitra iray ny gafy roa nataon'ny mpitarika roa Michael Sata sy George Bush:
