UPND Southern Province youths demand Kanjela’s resignition
United party for National development president Hakainde Hichilema (l) greets President Sata during the funeral service of late Princess Nakatindi Wina at the Cathedral of the Holy cross in Lusaka
The UPND in the Southern Province says it finds the failure by the Police to protect and respect the funeral service for late Princess Nakatindi Wina from alleged carders as appalling and a worst show of cowardice and has since demanded for the immediate resignation of Elizabeth Kanjela.
The Party’s youth wing in the province says it was saddening to note that the police service has continued to behave like an extension of the ruling party by failing to take action against political cadres allegedly being sponsored by the ruling party to intimidate and harass those perceived to be against the ruling party.
Party Youth Chairman,Francis Hakayobe says in a statement that the failure by the police led by its spokesperson,Elizabeth Kanjela to take action against the carders that attacked its party leader Hakainde Hichilema was the worst form of cowardice and called on inspector General of Police,Stella Libongani to show her strength and discipline the officers.
Hakayobe said this kind of behavior where cadres are allowed with impunity to attack innocent mourners under the watchful eye of the police is not only a disgrace but a direct defeat of the country’s democracy and cannot be condoned thus the need for the authorities not only to condemn the act but take action.
He said the animal farm type of governance cannot be condoned any longer and threatened that his youths in the province will not take it lying low as they will hit back at any opportunity given as a way of showing the PF that it has the muscle to protect its leadership against undemocratic hooligans.
The Youth leader said the attack on Mr.Hichilema would not have happened had the police shown its teeth instead of growing cold feet and called on the PF leadership not to lead the country into anarchy but uphold its democratic tenets which President Michael Sata and his government swore to uphold.
Hakayobe added that the Zambia Police is yet to witness the wrath of his members if no step is taken to discipline the ailing police officers and added that the UPND leader deserves state police protection just like any other citizen and wondered whether people were ever going to be safe.

Should funerals be politicised aswell?
In Zambia,an opposition member can be knifed in full view of police.This third world dirty country sucks!
You are a disgrace to the country!
I cant get the story…..?????? What happened?
Its true how can who has gone to pay the last respect of someone be harassed by PF cadres sent by Mr Sata ,and the Police is watching aimlessly as if they are not professionals, no wonder Mr Sata calls the Police as uneducated chaps. I dont whom they want to protect if they are really trained.
What do you expect from Hakayobe? He is an extension of Hakainde. I dont even get who was harrased. Is it HH(hakainde hichilema) or HH( Hakainde Hakayobe)?
Elizabeth Kanjela is a helpless soul under the tyranical regime of Ukwa. Kanjela is answerable to the Inspector General Libongani. This “RESIGNATION” call must be directed to the Minister of Home Affairs, his Permanent Secretary and IG Stella Libongani along the line. Indeed the Police Service has been transformed into a Security Wing for PF. The opposition are vulnerable to attacks with the blessing of UKWA who obtained his **hD in Violence** in Lusaka’s Kawama Township.
If you trust our police service to protect you, you dont live in Zambia.
Guys check the handshake of HH and SATA these Guys are freemason.
BA POLICE BE PROFESSIONAL IN EXECUTING YOUR DUTIES , WHY DO YOU OPERATE LIKE ROBOTS AND YES THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT SUCH TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR CAN ONLY COME FROM AN UNEDUCATED COP!
No wonder you have no future No 5. Its wasnt a sin for HH to attend a funeral of a prominent veteran politician who contributed so much for the country. ForPF to turn the funeral into a PF gathering by bringing in their stupid hooligansm is pathetic.No one deserves this type of behaviour at such a time.A feneral is a funeral. Theuy can wait for political battles and even then only brainless ***** express themselves through physical confrontations.Your comment is akin to this
You can just see how much respect HH accords to the head of state however it doesnt mean he shouldnt criticise him in the interest of the nation. Chiluba was good at the begining but due to hero worshiping him even after just a fat he realised that Zambians can be stupid therefore he started taking the country and the job for granted. We made him what he became in the end. We should now learn from it. Condenm when necessary and praise when it is due.
You ***** there is no need for elizabeth kanjela to resign becuase she is not the one who caused the fracus.
who is innocent here? when jesus was mistreated,he never opened his mouth coz he was innocent.now we here how both sides bad mouthed each other.these are last days.
I wonder why Kanjela or any cop should resign because in the wisdom of this Youth from SP who was not on the scene they are to blame.Political party presidents must have intelingence report from their security personnel to be able to protect HH now we hear his jacket was pulled.Where were the body guards? Morgan of Zimbabwe was beaten head swollen his body guards also blamed the police and yet they are to blame.Change your body guards HH they have let him down.
let hh resigns anakangiwa ma politics macende bako.
hh provoked those chaps by his own behaviour. ba LT, please report according to what happened. dont allow such stupid reaction from dissollutioned political failures, who not long ago were nothing but shepherds in their respective home towns and now want to behave as though they are the know it all. INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS INCURABLE INDEED!
Judge Ngoma did it and was freed, so why can’t others did it. It is normal practice with Pain Front.
UPND remember what u dd pa maliro ya Andy Mazoka?
why condem the police who are not security wings of HH,his security wing is weak and if what was reported is true ,file charges to those you claim to be PF youths .as for the resignation of p/spokes person i wonder what type of mentality he has without of who he shud blame.lets learn to co-existence.their are kaponyas in every political parties as their leaders take advantage of their scope of understanding issues,its a horse and carrot method.
Mwe fipuba mwe ! What did Kanjela do ? She is just a spokesperson and she cannot be expected to perform miracles ! Who is HH ? some disgruntled arrogant young man who is full of himself ! Throw yourselselves in a pool you senseless tribalists !
#5 & 15, what manner of brainless embaciles are you two skanks? HH had every right to attend that funeral of his own cousin and it was most Satanic of Ukwa’s thugs to assault him. What they manifested was gutless and primitive animal bahaviour of the worst order, and odour and who ever tries to justif such vile conduct is a low life form that has no right to mingle with modern man.
I am UPND but I can tell you that I categorically understand that Kanjela is just a spokeswoman.
she just updates as it happened with public relations. so change the direction of your wish.
I wonder where upnd will find votes to win the presidency as they have passionate hate for kaponyas as evidenced by the negative pronouncents against kaponyas. In zambia, majority voters are youths whose majority are kaponyas country over. I await to witness this
Just wait and see what will happen soon and indeed very soon
What has eventualy haped to the hapenings in wp? Where is watchdog the 4goten desert to report. Why mute all of the surdern? I guess things are turning into there unlikabe kekekeke. Its tuely watch dogs
Freemasonic hand shack between sata and hh
I do not condone violence. If you think i do, then i am not your presido. Let hh fail alone not harassing him. Am tired of receiving calls to clarify my democracy in Zambia from big pipo. dont potray but picture of me to ze world. Just concentrate on work. i gave you 15% what else do you want. But hh if you are injured go to hospital. will visit you there. Police watch out. Very serious.
This is not acceptable. However, let us remember what happened at Chiluba’s funeral. This mentality is not coming from PF but from a culture of intolerance which has come from previous regimes. We must stop this madness.
Stupidity and spirit of poverty is all i see in most of the comments above. To be frank, there is nothing to be proud of here. It will take a million yrs for zambia to develop if people wo.’t get up and critise when need be. Hero whorshiping is all we good at. Open up your eyes and you will see.
Ukwa and HH could even sit and dine together as gentlemen while these street educated called cadres would be killing eachother outside just to show their loyalty to their bwanas. So typical of african politics.
HH seems to have inflamed the situation by trying to trade party symbols with cadres from PF.
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with that, HOWEVER, FOR A PARTY LEADER, MORE SO ONE TRYING TO BECOME PRESIDENT, there is REALLY NOTHING PRESIDENTIAL ABOUT HIM, GETTING TO POLITICISE SUCH A SOMBRE OCCASION! HE IS NOT A CADRE, anyone any time will forget cadres provoked him, BUT FOR HIM TO RESPOND, SHOWS AN EXTREME LACK OF JUDGEMENT – he should have learnt a thing or two from MCS at FTJ’s funeral, he AVOIDED UNNECESSARY & UNDIGNIFIED CONFRONTATIONS with MMD cadres & others.
HH still has alot to learn!!
these pf cadres should have been castrated..
@Kamwendo, were you there? did you see HH flashing party symbols? Just condemn a wrong act than trying to find fault in the victim. You are people who hero worship. If it was HH’s cadres doing that you would have shouted your lungs out insulting them. Marubish.
Two wrongs will not make a right. The attack on any citizen deserves punishment but I am equally alarmed at the statement about the ‘wrath’ to be unleashed on Zambian Police. Same mindset as the attackers mentality. Please rephrase. Surely there is a procedure for bringing culprits to book. Not sure the resignation called for is aimed at the right quarters. If it was a political party move then that is where the blame lies. If it was individual vigilantes then ditto. The cops may have been slow to act but they did. A lesson learned. All need to be reminded violence is not tolerated and perhaps cameras have captured the images of those directly responsible…
