Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ) President Father Frank Bwalya has become the latest victim of an attack by suspected Patriotic Front cadres in Ndola.
Fr Bwalya has QFM News from Ndola that he was this afternoon roughed up by known PF cadres in Ndola’s Kawama compound.
Father Bwalya said he has since reported the incident which resulted in buttons on his shirt being torn to Chifubu Police station.
He explained that he was in Kawama compound to visit one of his members who is not well and that it was while at the same house when two suspected cadres arrived and stated beating people who had accompanied him and he was also roughed up during the same fracas.
UPND leader Hakainde’s entourage was attacked on Saturday by suspected PF cadres while he was appearing on a radio program on Sun FM.

Elo lwanya…
Fellow Zambians, if I may ask. Why did Zambians vote for Sata and PF? Don’t tell me that it was because of lies. Zambians know Michael Sata very well. They know the kind of person they were dealing with as he has been in all the previous governments. They know him that he is not reliable and that he is a violent man. Why did the Zambians go ahead and vote him as president? Is is that people were just fed up of MMD and could elect any one at that time?
@CONCERNED, Zambians were warned by Prophet Chanda Chimba III, but didn’t listen. But see what is happening in the country. Wait and see what will happen just before, during and after 2016 elections. You haven’t seen anything yet.
@ CONCERNED
The people that voted for Sata did so because they believed and took what was reported in the Past Newspaper to be the gospel truth. The headlines that the MMD were thiefs and whos corruption was holding the nation back. They believed that headlines that “only St Michael would rid the nation of corruption becuase he was the Man of action”. In short, M’membe lied and hoodwinked the nation in order to shield himself from paying back the K14b he owed the nation. It shows just how much the media (especially when taken to be independent from Govt) can influence leadership of a nation.
I dont understand why people would even start to question this and that about Fr Frank Bwalya. The issue here is the alarming rise in violence in the country and the apparent lack of response from the Authorities (Police and Sat’s Govt). Govt has a duty to protect its citizens and clearly the PF and it’s Police wing seem to think that only PF supporters qualify as Zambian citizens. Despite the gathered hooligans at HH’s radio appearance attempt, no one was arrested, No one was arrested at Nawakwi’s fracus and no one will be arrested in this latest incident.
The only answer for Zambians is to rise against the cadres, Police and Govt itself.
Abaiche ba mu ndola naba kalipa sana these days. Bale puma na ba father.
You cant mess with Masala people!
This is the best news for Zambia before Easter!! Ka Faza Bwalya wanya, kopala techangalili bafigili ba Oppossition!
POLITE ADVISE: All opposition parties need to have some security arrangements for their senior leaders – it is one of the reasons why running a political party can never be cheap anywhere in the world. These PF thugs have thoughts of thuggery running through their blood vessels and brains (actually drains!!!) and they have nothing to lose, so we should not underrate their senseless capacity murder any member of our progressive forces
He explained that he was in Kawama compound to visit one of his members … when two suspected cadres arrived and started beating people who had accompanied him and he was also roughed up during the same fracas.
Really, ba Bwalya… Two against the “people who had accompanied ” you! Mwachiba banga kanshi?
Anyway, sorry…! You did well to report to the police. Let us see what they will come up with.
Docile Zambians! So idle, until the situation becomes another genocide statistic. All because of some hungry, unemployed, Lazy , brain dead citizenry. So many countries envy us for the peace we enjoy and we want to give it all away for the sake of pleasing one person or a political party.Shame indeed. Is SATA worth the blood being spilled and yet to be spilled? Killing another human being in the name of PF and SATA????? Just like the jews,they thought Hitler would feel pity and change his mind. Well guess what?. Sata is not changing anytime soon. It appears Zambians have accepted their fate and are ready to be slaughtered. Well go ahead Cobra it appears Zambians are tired of peace and want the opposite. Maybe this will wake us up, so let it come.Lucky am not in Zambia am in civilisation.
What you Zambians are now seeing is child’s play. Do not forget that PF folks abducted a person while they were still in opposition and beat the hell out’a him around 2011. This was reported in the news. On the election day, their president (now the Zambian president) called someone who challenged him at a polling station “an *****” and it was there again live on TV. In any normal country, that would have triggered a ballot backlash there and then and Sata would have been game over!
Alas hey ho, hey ho alas, this is not a normal country and all this talk about peace for whatever number of years is simply a red herring, a manifestation of pure cowardice.
What you are seeing now is like running against footmen. Wait in 2016 when we shall run against horsemen. Alas my beloved country.
Joyce kasosa, what is your take on this one? You are not very far away from Mary Tembo’ abuse of office & authority. Again, you are no different from Silvr Masebo who told the Tribunal ati niba president ebanjebele. Sata is watching the whole game on the C/belt ifyo mulemusebanya.
The PF rule is by intimidation and dictatorship…obviously normal people shall stand up for their rights !!!
ba mataba tamutasha elo futi tamwakatashe ifisuma alemichitila sata.
What good things you d1ck-head? You and your Sata et. al. are just a true definition of stupidity and imbecility.
MAFIOLOGY.YOU CAN,T SEE THEM B’KOZ MWALETOLOKELA PAMA WINDOW.TEL THE ONE U VOTED FOR TO FEED U.THATS Y THEY ALWAYS SAY ‘VOTE WISELY’.INSTEAD U VOTED 4 ONE WHO CAN NEVER B PRESIDENT.I VOTED WISELY AND IM ENJOYING THE LEADERSHIP OF SATA.NKUSA IWE
Attention seeking! How can 2 people manage to rough up an entire group of people? Did you go there with old ladies and little children?
Ka father Walya ni ka boza!
As you sow, so shall you reap.
From now onwards we sow righteousness.
Jesus protects the righteous ones.
@Gold Bunny, law-abiding citizens do not respond and take law in their hands. Who is not scared of panga wielding thugs? If Fr. Bwalya and his people had resisted, they would have been charged by Zambia Police de Force (Z-PF).
Solution lies in sowing righteousness in next generation.
What we sow we reap.
Jesus protects righteousness.
violence by pf is a sign that the ruling party is not at easy they are panicking , they know they are losing support.
Sata nafuti nafuti.
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging
on sites I stumbleupon on a daily basis. It’s always useful to
read through articles from other authors and use a little something from other websites.

Father Bwalya, granted that you cannot respond to the cadres using violence, but I think you need to start not only blowing your whistle, but also flashing the red card against these people. Enough is enough. Time has come to show them that we refuse to set their type of behavior as a standard for this country. Can you be surprised why a certain party is talking of arming themselves?
