PF cadres halt business at Lusaka’s intercity bus terminus

Share

Business around Lusaka’s Intercity City Bus Terminus came to a standstill this afternoon with shop keepers forced to close their shops as machete wielding Patriotic Front (PF cadres invaded the bus terminus.

The PF cadres who are believed to have come from Chibolya and Kanyama compounds wanted to take over the operations at Inter City Bus Terminus.

A QFM News crew that rushed to bus terminus found calm had been restored with some shop keepers opening their shops while other remained closed.

The cadres has earlier on invaded City Market in an attempt to take over the bus station sending people scampering in all directions for safety.

Police in full riot gear managed to control the cadres who then headed to intercity bus terminus.

Last week’s clashes between the rival camps claimed one life leaving several others nursing machete wounds.

  1. These monkeys have really gone too.far! I will do a drive by shooting in town this weekend.We cant tolerate such nonsense only Sata the old useless thug sees nothing wrong with this.If after all this nonsense you still support ukwa then you are sick in the head.I wish one could just come near my car,I will gladly blow his brains out if at all there are any.

    • @GUMU GUMU I thing we have the same idea.. i am also waiting 4 that moment to blow ones head off when approach my car….

    • Step away from the playstation. If this were GTA I would ride shotgun with you though but tis frustratingly real life. Someone needs to pull the plug.

    • fence off the area and let them pound each other to death. It will be a big relief to the nation

      we care less about a few disgruntled killing each other

      Zambia is bigger then these fools

    • I think all MPs should also dissolve themselves.Why are there? They make a budget someone takes his way, Constitution someone wants 10 copies, cadres wants move to Parley and beat MPs.
      Ministers were beaten at state house.
      so why have parley, how have ministers with personal agenda, PS, etc and finally why have a political party without a direction.
      Zambia is very big.
      We are the citizen of the Zambia and Zambia is ours.
      PF you borrowed this space mind you?

  2. Proper education is the answer to party militancy.
    .
    The Bible does not teach about everlasting peace on earth about BROTHER rising against BROTHER. Whilst *****s are sorting themselves out, PF is attending to more pressing challenges such as

    the 74% of Zambians who have no access to Electricity and clean water
    and
    the President’s launch of the new Kitwe-Chingola dual carriage way tomorrow.

  3. If terrorism is using violence or intimidation to advance a political aim then it is time the political parties dissassociated with these acts perpetrated on the general public, round up the leaders and if there is no ban in place then go to parliament and pass a law specifically aimed at the offence of possession of these deadly weapons. Barbaric and potentially sponsored terrorism must not turn in to cat and mouse around the city. No need to point out which political party is mentioned. This is not the first time pangas have been brandished in Zambia. This used to be an old school grass cutter when I was a kid and that’s where these tools and actions need to be. History.

  4. Government of Kaponyas, by Kaponyas for the Kaponyas manifesting Kaponya culture engineered by Chief Kaponya in state house.

  5. If this is not checked, it will make it easy for the guys in Barotseland to claim their country. Because Zambia will be ungoverned/ ungovernable. Wake up Zambians!!!.

  6. @gumu gumu

    Your poor upbringing & poor education can be excused.

    Police officers are being axed & civilians are being butchered right, left and center in South Africa. Not even children are being spared. Do you throw a grz just becos of one isolated incident or coordinated incidents of lawlessness in the country?

    Last week, grz was launching the upgrade & construction of the new state of the art (modern) airport, tomorrow, the grz’ll be launching the new Kitwe-Chingola carriage away. Then nxt week the grz will launch the construction of 100 clinics, the other week grz will launch the upgrade of the Kitwe-Ndola dual away..Please look at Nairobi or Joburg for you to appreciate why my vote will always ever be for the “project manager” not for Mpundu Trust Villas.

    • That is easy to do on borrowed funds. Look at the debt and budget deficit and keep deluding yourself that that is sound economics.

    • while ‘your’ people are killing each other you are ‘enjoying’ yourself opening up this and that project …, how do you manage to sleep at night, how evil can you be, ah??

    • @LUAPULA PREMIER, you are very useless, only a fool can support what has characterised the PF in the recent past. We have a very usless government that can not even address its own intra-party dissonannces.

    • Ba Luapula fimo fimo naimwe. That moniker is even too respectable for you. Do you want us to be South Africa? We are not South Africa and we’ll never be. Thank goodness. Nobody respects that country anymore.Very soon it will lose business, investments, tourism and so on when it completely breaks down. Zambians are not barbaric people. This copycat behavior should be nipped in the bud before it is too late.

  7. i think pf are losing it, you can not take for granted like this..by the way;why is police tolerating such nonsense..and as long as sata doen’t come out in the open to stop this mess it will continue and soon it will start spreading to other towns;already we hear a similar thing happened in chinsali

  8. It is just recently wen Edgar Lungu voiced out that their wil b no sacred cow to those cadaz who crushed nd killed one, and now where is his strong voice he claimed to have directed the police wen today the same thugs (PF cadres) invaded inter city bus terminus. Police in “fool” riot gear managed to control the situation,is this wat we want? NO..NO.NOnonono……apprehend,arrest and cage them once and for all.

  9. My vote will always be for the “project manager”, not for Mpundu Trust or for the ‘Farmer/Accountant’..

    Ask KK or your father or granddad how rail wagons full of Botswana cattle were being exchanged with Tonga wagons full of Tonga bulls as they arrived in Livingstone, at Livingstone depot en-route to Lusaka/Copperbelt in 70s. Never again…

  10. These are just kaponyas from different party’s trying to take advantage of the internal wrangles in PF to cause confusion.

  11. Stock up on your food. These cadres are simply testing the waters. You will soon hear that GBM has taken over in a coup.Watch out.

  12. when mwanawasa was elected the was violence in most parts of lusaka , then levy being a great leader he was he said ” if they will be any more violence then am not the president of this country” with only those serious words violence ended. thats how a leader should react sometimes u need to hold the bull by its horn. a leader needs to be fearless..

  13. The problem is that we only hope to get rid of PF in 2016, but at this rate, by that time it will be too late. The country right now seems headed for a civil war.

  14. @ Luapula Premier, thought you were once described by Sata as Ba mu nye………….pa menshi. Ka ‘Donchi kubeba’ today with your vote.

  15. EXCUSE ME…CIVIL WAR IN ZAMBIA?

    MAY BE IN ZIMBABWE OR EGYPT OR KENYA OR SOUTH AFRICA ETC WITH ALL THE CIVIL STRIFE TAKING PLACE THERE….LAWLESSNESS, MURDERS AND LYNCHINGS ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN THESE COUNTRIES.

    IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR EXAMPLE THEY WILL SHOOT YOU IN BROAD DAYLIGHT OVER A PHONE AND THE KILLERS GO SCOT FREE. SCHOOL PUPILS MOVE WITH GUNS AND KNIVES TO SORT EACH OTHER.

    PLEASE TRAVEL BEFORE YOU MAKE COMPARISONS….

    CALL ME ANYTHING BUT MY ‘X’ WILL ALWAYS BE ON THE ‘PROJECT INITIATOR’, ‘PROTECT MANAGER’ AND ‘IMPLEMENTER’.

  16. @jOmbo nOkia

    Levy was installed by the ‘master dribbler’, which explains why the dribbler was let off the hook..his cases dragged on almost forever, unto both the accuser and accused died…POWER IS SWEET.

    KK shocked the nation when he threatened to resign if Zambians did not relent in beer drinking habits. In response, Zambians drank even more. Did KK resign?

    MCS ordered cadres not to fight over election results otherwise MSC could HAVE made Zambia, ungovernable UNDER LEVY.

  17. WHENEVER I COME TO ZAMBIA, I ALWAYS MOVE WITH A SHOE BRUSH IN THE POCKETS OF MY JACKET BECAUSE OF DIRT, DUST ALONG THE STREETS OF LUSAKA. KITWE AND NDOLA STREETS LOOK LIKE VILLAGE ROADS IN SINAZOGWE..

    I WILL INVITE 5 INVESTORS WHEN L400 PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

    CALL ME ANYTHING BUT MY ‘X’ WILL ALWAYS BE ON THE ‘PROJECT INITIATOR’, ‘PROTECT MANAGER’ AND ‘IMPLEMENTER’.

  18. I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF GOING BACK TO ZAMBIA TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY COUNTRY IN WHATEVER SMALL WAY I CAN BUT NOW IAM SCARED!! SEEMS THE STREETS OF LUSAKA ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY HOOLIGANS UNDER THE NOSE OF LUNGU!! WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS? WHY HAS THE PF ALLOWED SUCH DANGEROUS THUGS TO CONTROL THE STREETS? DOES THE PF THINK PEOPLE ARE HAPPY WITH THIS KIND OF VIOLENCE GOING ON IN THE STREETS?WHY HAS LUNGU FAILED TO DISPLINE THESE CRIMINALS?CAN ANONE GIVE ME LUNGU’ S CELL OR OFFICE NUMBER SO THAT I CALL HIM AND REGISTER MY DISAPPOINTMENT? I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO ZAMBIA UNTIL THIS VIOLENCE STOPS!! MULETUTINYA!!HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COME BACK? IF COMING BACK HOME MEANS COMING TO FACE THAT VIOLENCE I WOULD RATHER STAY PUT WHERE IAM THAN COME BACK HOME!!!POVERTY IS A…

  19. @What a life!

    I hope you are not in South Africa, the country dubbed the ‘rape capital’ of the world.

    Every day, newspapers are full of killings, muggings, stabbings, car hijackings, rape etc. Some of the things take place in broad daylight.

    But these are temporally phases which every country goes through on its road to full democracy unless we adopt some draconian /dictatorial laws like China, UAE or the Middle East in general. Then development will be brisk otherwise forget it. Please compare China with India to day!

  20. Sata scoffs a lot when something happens outside his camp but when it involves his cadres he is mute, why ? Doesn’ t he know that the lives of people is in danger because of the barbaric behaviour of his useless and stupid cadres, what a government ? Every day, every hour, every minute it is lawlessness in the country which is perpetuated by people within the ruling party, why ? Does he want us to declare war against his so called cadres if he himself is enjoying their very stupid behavior and on the other hand has failed to control them ? Where is the Zambia Police Service and what is it’ s role to the peace of the country ? One day, it’ ll be between the cadres and the buffaloes and that’ s the day the police will be whipped like small kids – i-d-i-o- t.

  21. A team’s jersey is like a name card, a brand, a public image to the team. Also the jerseys come with the most helpful shining moments of the players. But not every single jersey is a boutique. Some of them are genuinely problematic to compliment. Most of the ugly jerseys would have a majority portion of orange color. No matter in pure orange color or orange mixed with other colours, the total appear is just producing it appear awkward and totally not match for competitors. So let’s take a search at the ugliest jerseys in NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB Leagues of all time!1. The Philadelphia Eagles’ NFL Jerseys. In order to commemorate the NFL 75 anniversary, Philadelphia Eagles team’s players in 2007 all place on their NFL jerseys of 1932. This 1 certain was…
