UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema claimed the PF cadres have been given guns by the state to harass opposition members.

Mr Hichilema alleged that the police were facilitating the PF cadres’ vicious attack on opposition members.

He said the PF hooligans were using the state to brutalize people in the country. Mr Hichilema charged that the country under the governance of the PF government was degenerating into a failed state.

And Zambia Direct Democracy Movement (ZDDM) President Edwin Sakala claimed that the PF government was dragging the country into bloodshed.

Mr Sakala said the PF government should not take the peace the country was enjoying for granted, saying the PF cadres hooliganism was breeding anarchy in the country.

And a senior citizen Godfrey Sakala expressed disgust with the behavior of the cadres, saying it was shameful that the cadres would behave in the manner they did when the country was mourning Mama Betty Kaunda.

Quick action by police this morning prevented Patriotic Front (PF) and United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres from clashing at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross as mourners arrived for the church service for late former First Lady Betty Kaunda.

The commotion erupted when some PF cadres tried to stop UPND cadre William Banda from entering the church.

There was a moment of pushing and shoving each other before the police moved in swiftly to rescue Mr Banda and usher him into the church.

  1. These cadres are actually making a mistake.The harrasment they are giving under five will just end up making him popular.High time these chaps were put in the right place.I miss Chama Chakomboka MHSRIP

  2. The thugs are actually hired by the Male chauvinist Pig (MCP) himself to create an impression the PF govt is arrassing him. Notice his mouth piece the ZamWatchdog has had nothing to write on since President Sata launched the 8000 link project and the developmental projects outlined in yesterday’s speech to Parliament.
    This is the only way this MCP knows of diverting attention to himself. Why give the cadres guns to harrass you? A gun as an arrassment tool – you must be joking.

    • PF PF PF, failing2reason on your own as usual. U honestly expect us2 hire thugs? 2beat US up?? In the history of the 2parties, who has a close bond with thugs & violence? Sure are u that much blindly in love with CNP???

  3. The govt of kaponyas, by the kaponyaz, for the kaponyaz!! These kaponyaz should be ashamed of themselves! abash kolwestans domination!!! viv HH!!!! viva UPND!!!!!!!!!

  4. I have a conviction that what the PF are asking for is respect from opposition. They have never seen it from oppposition since they took over power. But this must be addressed differently not at funerals nor by fighting. The opposition have never given chance or respect to the rulling PF and its govt. This situation is not good and we shall most likely see more trouble. Ig only opposition can own up defeat and live in harmony until next elections. Daily campaign won’t help things.

  5. Does HH have evidence for such false accusations against the state. Police should arrest for defaming the Head of State who is the manager of the accused state. I think this guy has run out of ideas and he is now become an attention seeker.

  6. Violence must be condemned by all peace loving citizens of our lovely country. Leaders of all political groups should stop manipulating innocent cadres into fomenting violence and cause mayhem.
    On the hand, HH needs to be mature and understand the implications of his unsophisticated political and unsubstantiated allegations.
    People certainly don’t need even sticks if they wanted to harass him or any opposition leader

  7. Laws of the land should be applied uniformly across the breadth and lengthy of Zambia. Believe it or not such incidents might sound or look minor from standpoints of untaught PF thugs or their pay masters, but from a perspective of speculators they use such negative developments to earn short term huge gains. On the other hand, the very same developments have ripple effects on the Zambian economy. The economy is battered and effects filter through to markets resulting in commodity hikes. Foreigners become extremely uncomfortable, in that they either shift their capital, also known as capital mobility or withhold/withdraw their investments. In either situations ordinary Zambians bear the consequences. We love you BROTHER HH. Apologies to those who were maliciously injured by PF

  8. Floyd Nkhumba Chitalu. HH is talking about the newly recruited ZPF cadres under the supervision of fellow cardres like SoloNsoni Prison JAIL who are getting orders from PF president.

  9. Who do these *****s think they are? Since when were people barred from entering a place of worship or a funeral service?

    God the all-seeing will deal with them soon, unless they amend their ways of life and seek peace.

  10. Declaring Psalm 35 over everyone and the root cause of  violence and chaos in the country. Zambia is a peaceful country and we do not need it to be tainted, the legacy of a peaceful nation shall live on to the next generations. HH continue maintaining your calm and Maturity and Zambians themselves will decide. Why are the churches, NGO’s so quiet over what is going on in the country, tribalism, Barotseland, oppression and refusal of rallies. May the Lord arise over our Land, Zambia belongs to Jesus and our land shall not be defiled by evil, Jesus defeated all evil  on the cross of Calvary

  11. One sentence says, and I quote, “…alleged that the police were facilitating the PF cadres’ vicious attack on opposition members.” Another sentence says, and I quote, “Quick action by police this morning prevented Patriotic Front (PF) and United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres from clashing…”

    This is inconsistent. Police facilitating an attack will not prevent clashes but instead facilitate them. Secondly, has anyone complained of being attacked or intimidated by an armed PF cadre, or is this the usual alarmist self-martyrizing lies of a man hellbent of making Zambia ungovernable for PF to settle a political score?

  12. Opposition Parties retaliation is not the way forward no one will know the difference between who is violent, learn from Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta he is accused of organzing a gang to fight back and retaliate against ODM’s attack he is facing trail at the hague together wth Ruto who was accused of organizing the attacks. Violence does not pay, just be calm, mature  engange the police if they are non responsve engange human rights groups and the Hague. Zambia is a peaceful country and it does not need violence in Jesus name.

  13. We need servant leadershp in Zambia and not this violence and causing chaos to get leadership and maintain leadership. May the Lord raise  the right leaders for Zambia who will preserve the peace of our land and trully serve everyone in Zambia. Politicians both ruling and opposition beware do not turn our country into a battlefield to serve interests best known to your selves 

  14. God will not sit back when you cause violence and chaos, he will fight back and really hard  he needs peace in our country so that people may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Do not cause suffering to innocent Zambians. Do not be a hindrance to God’s plans over Zambia, may the lord visit you with terrifying dreams and visions like Nebuchadnezzar Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. If you do not repent may psalm 35 become reality over you.

  15. this guy surerly he is a joke how does he think, there is no way that can happen in zambia besides it is the duty of govt to mantain peace,, this is simple thinking who can believe him

  16. MCP uleumfwisha insoni. Choose what to lie about. This is very clear you are lying through your teeth. Kuleni bane.

  17. You dull PF and UPND cadres why causing noise at the funeral?? Why could you not go to independence stadium at fight each other? Useless people you are. You Sata and HH please behave , tell you dull cadres to fight elsewhere and not funerals. I am pissed off by these dull politicians , let the Kaundas mourn their beloved in peace. Sata and HH restrain you cadres otherwise its us citizens of Zambia who will start beating you creatures.  

  18. And you HH don’t exaggerate things, people lose respect for a person who does not tell the truth. Where did you see guns HH. Bo HH , be trusfull man. The matter of fact is that you HH and Sata cadres are useless. Where bringing your dull cadres to funerals? Shame on you HH and Sata, you are very useless politicians on this one. you are behaving like children both of you..Shaaa. 

  19. Also you Sata and PF you must behave in an exemplary manner. Don’t behave like the MMD cadres, soon people will lose trust in you. You are in government and these oppositions will provoke you and even lay some  snares so that you are caught in them. Like this one its you PF who are being castigated. Behave yourselves PF…Shaaa. 

  20. In a civilized world we accept the fact that the PF got into govt through the democratic process of defined as voting. Apparently, they used all tricks of deception to sway the vulnerable youths to vote for them. Yes the Constitution allows them to govern (with spices of terrorism) for a prescribed term of FIVE YEARS.

    However, the PF should not abuse their powers by formenting anarchy through the arming of their cadres with guns. Why should they turn smoky guns on the very citizens they vowed to protect. The danger is that the very cadres may turn against Sata. The writing is on the wall that GBM may be organising militancy in the cadres to turn against his perceived enemies within the PF system. Only stray bullets may hit HH but GBM’s targets are Sata, Kabimba and Lubinda.

  21. Police please move in and arrest this *****, he has again alarmed the Nation on lies, so please arrest him this is a chargeable offence.
