The ruling Patriotic Front (PF)in Lusaka and the Copperbelt provinces have vowed to protect the president and party leadership using what ever means necessary.
Speaking at a joint press briefing of officials from the two provinces in Lusaka today Lusaka province chairperson Geoffrey Chumbwe said the ruling party is being forced to act violently against opposition leaders due to continued insults of the republican President and the party leadership.
He said youths in the party will not fold their arms while the opposition continue to insult the President.
He said the opposition should realize that there is only one President at a time who is also the President for the opposition hence deserves respect from all Zambians.
He said the ruling party is a peace loving party but is being provoked by the opposition through their attacks on the media especially online media.

He also accused FDD leader Edith Nawakwi of paddling lies when she said that the PF has employed 6000 cadres as police officers.
“I have head another lie today, Our mother Edith Nawakwi is saying we have employed 6000 cadres as police men that is a lie because I’m consulted when the party I’d doing something and I can tell you that my cadres in lusaka are looking for work”
Meanwhile Lusaka province Information Publicity Secretary Clement Katongo who read the speech on behalf of the two provinces said the party in the two province has resolved to trace all individuals posting what he termed as malicious things, insults and defamatory comments on social and other media against the president.
“You may wish to know that for as long as someone is using their mobile phone registered in Zambia or laptop connected to any internet provider in the country, they will not run away or hide from their crimes,” Mr. Katonga warned.
He said the party has instructed members and supporters across the country to report anyone suspected to be posting malicious or insulting comments on the president.
Mr Katongo further explained that the party will report all culprits to the law enforcers but will not hesitate to deal with them if the law fails.
Mr. Katongo has also urged law enforcement officers to deal with the people insulting the head of state through the media.
“If the law enforcers fail to deal with such internet criminals, we shall have no choice but to deal with them ourselves. Our party functionaries countrywide are on red alert on how to trace and deal with such criminals,” he said.
And Mr Katongo said the attacks on UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema were carried out by Ndola resident and not PF cadres.
He said the residents went to chess Mr Hichilema after they spotted him at Sun radio station because they did not want him to insult the president on the radio.

“Regarding the disruption of the radio program, we have done our investigations because we get concerned when any of our members is reported to be involved in violence.
Our finding are that the people who wanted to deal with Mr Hichilema are ordinary citizens who spotted him at the radio station. We have been told that the citizens on the copperbelt and the rest of the country are not happy with Mr Hichilema because of his insults against president Michael Sata and the PF,” he said
The press briefing comes in the wake two political violence on opposition leaders in Ndola within a week which has seen wide condemnation of the ruling party PF from stakeholders.
iwe bafi,,,car,,la! who are you to protect the president of Zambia??. The president has police, ZAF, Army,,, etc to protect him NOT you hungry thugs,,,,,
And you must tell Sata to stop insulting innocent people first so that he is not insult at!!!
SEBANA WIKUTE MENTALITY SHOULD COME TO AN END IN ZAMBIAN POLITICS.
Chumbwe just go to the grave yard your leader is a violent man any way God will hear our prayers the guy will be eliminated by nature
General Miyanda warned every1 against registering their sim cards, with these PF F00ls, that they would use the information to suppress your freedom of speech but you never listened and you called the General names.
Read this quote “You may wish to know that for as long as someone is using their mobile phone registered in Zambia or laptop connected to any internet provider in the country, they will not run away or hide….”.
U should now be very scared….i feel sad for my family still in Zambia, i need to get them out ASAP!!
THESE ARE THE ANIMALS WHO WILL ABANDON SATA AND HIS FAMILY WHEN HE WILL BE OUT OF POWER.WHO REMEMBERS WILLIAM BANDA AND KACHINGWE,ARE THEY STILL STANDING FOR LUPIYA BANDA AND HIS FAMILY?
This ’empty shell’ is lamenting the usual nonsense which forms part of PF’s agenda. PF goons always recycle their typical rhetoric intended to perpetuate violence which leads to unnecessary losses of innocent lives. Whatever this goon is saying will eventually land on ears of irresponsible Kaponyas who have no sense of distinguishing between wrong and right. Besides, for Kaponyas the former and the latter are one and the same thing. Kaponyas always translate their selfish deadly actions they commit against other people into victories. A reasonable person can pose a question as follows. What kind of a victory is it, especially when it follows from insanity and stupidity? The PF credits itself after killing and hurting unarmed defenceless innocent citizens. Viva UNPD, viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Joke of the day by ifisushi ifi. Ati “anyone insulting the president through the online media will be dealt with”. Iye ifipuba ifi? Ine uluse. Bafikkala ba PF mwachilamo. Now you are asking for war you d!ck-heads.
Kekekeke at “BAFI-CAR-LA” yayayaya Ndobo Ndobo wanjipaya.
So its war between Security Wings & Chumbwe-lead militia.
Edgar Lungu just said yesterday that you need to return the stolen military uniforms.
Chella says there is no violence, but Chumbwe says yes indeed we are attacking!!
The fact remains …. your president is a F.O.O.L no matter how much you will try to protect him
You can tell from the reasoning that these are real thugs. If HH or Nevers insult the president, it is not the duty of cadres to punish the accused. Zambia is a nation with laws and courts. If HH indeed insulted the president, why not take him to court.
Chuumbwe dont think that Zambia belongs to you PF thugs alone. We will deall with you sevely at an opportune time. Watch your fu.cking back you imbeccile.
Kajoba, Kasoso or who ever is in charge of Police should arrest that whole panel of criminals.
What are these chaps saying? Ignorance. Whoever told you that the Presidency belongs to cadres is as ignorant as as a stone which does not know its surroundings. It is only in Zambia and Africa where one has to be a cadre to be “rewarded” with a job. Look at you! You are so dull. President Sata or whoever shall be President is protected by the Police and his actions defended by Law. If you assault another Zambian in so-called defence of the President you will be arrested, charged with assault and if found guilty, sent to jail.
Has the President of FDD become a PF cadre? UPND were merely saying if they are not protected by the Police from constant attacks by PF cadres they will arm themselves for self defence. How would that offend Ms Nawakwi unless you are a PF cadre like Cosmo…
The Hague mwana…and we all know who you are, where you are, what you look like and many people are very very very angry…
Is this a case of a big Chumbu(we) trying to defend another Chumbu Munshololwa??
These potato heads are doing my head in!!
Disclosure of personal details by any company is a breach of the data protection act. The companies can be sued. The problem with using some of these “pardoned” prisoners is they mostly needed to catch up with how the world actually works now. The world can see everything. Any action following this statement is in direct breach of human rights, the law and civility. TERRORISM. Non action by the police, ZNS or the army will prove themselves obsolete. Responsibility will be meted later when these TERRORISTS have been returned to jail or hunted down. As cadre who has been “pardoned”. Pack your bags and leave this direction as your pardon may still stand after this mess.
PF is a club of thugs, that is the only explanation which for the foolishness expressed by Chumbwe.
I have never read such a pile of garbage in a long, long, long time! And these are the people leading our country!!! Where is the president? Is he dead? What kind of president that only shows up when there is a swearing in ceremony, doesn’t comment on matters of life and death and is only good at insulting his cabinet ministers and MPs? Out, out, out!
We need a mimimal level of education even for party cadres. Not just laughable but disgursting.
Funny how as a Country we tend to torelate such characters in this Country. Enough is Enough – PF has to GO.
Chuumbwe dont think that Zambia belongs to you PF thugs alone. We will deal with you severely at an opportune time. Watch your fu.cking back you imbeccile.
Chumbwe and his cadres should rather be the one’s to watch there backs. They do not have any form or protection and are easy targetsfrom the people on one hand, on another Mulenga Sata will take over his Job in the same way he did to Goodson Banda.
You’ve got more problems to worry about baba.
Laughable stuff by Chuumbwe and PF. That is a ridiculous way to justify violence my friends in PF. Can I ask questions, when the PF members were fighting each other who insulted the president or party? When Mr. Sata our President was in opposition and using derogatory words on Mwanawasa and RB how many MMD cadres attacked PF members or stopped Mr. Sata from holding public rallies and appear on the media?
Chumbwe together will all of his unemployed cadres need not forget how we cleaned out William Banda’s house and small business the day they announced MMD had lost.
If you do not tone down, yours will be 10 times that of William Banda. We are sick of tired of you Jobless cadres.
So most of pf members are useless,how can an ordinary party cadre publicly state that they will take the law into their own hands,if people insult sata is because he like insulting other political leaders as well.@ndola citizens attacked HH,u think you are talking to baboons.any from this article it clear that you have the blessing of the president,any criminal offense has to be taken to court.am still wondering as to why William Banda and his mmd terrorists are still free despite the pictorial evidence in the chongwe massacre.am of a firm belief that the pf is deliberately avoiding it because very soon their cadres will face the same fate.if William Banda is jailed it will deter others from taking the law into their own hands especially pf leadership and its cadres.lets wake up zedians.
The guilty are always scared.
Mr. Chuumbwe should not breed political violence that he is doing now and we want to hear what pf will say on what chuumbwe(grave) has said because if opposition say similar things, they are sternly warned that brewing violence is not accepted.
However, what he has said is wishful thinking because when people want change , no amount of force or tricks will stop them.
Viva Zambian watchdog!!
Read Carefully:
That. Is. About. The. Dumbest. Thing. I. Have. Read. My. Entire. Life
Come on FDD Presdent, let us hear your comment on what Chumwe et al are saying above. Your hatred for HH amazes some of us. HH, Milupi, Dr. Mutesa, you Edith Nawakwi were together at UNZA, though you and Milupi were a few years ahead. We need your generation in leadership. We need to retire our grandparents/great grandparents of the independence era as Malawians, Batswana, Kenyans and Tanzanians have done. We recall your bitterness when you campaigned against HH in Northern province during the alliance. Had you supported him in your sector that alliance could have done better. Ask brother Chipimo how he felt when he was manhandled by PF cadres. Surely for you to condem UPND for crying out OUCH from attacks by PF cadres shows that you have lowered yourself to the level of Cosmo, Chumbwe etc
Maggots.Mbuzi chai yo. This is what njala does. These thugs are trying to protect the Chief thug. Vipuba vabanthu,Kwati filewamya. Do you fools know who introduce machetes in the Zambian political space and back then in Chawama.
In my mother tongue…chumbwe means grave……….
The PF are just useful i.d.i.o.t.s we used to remove to foolish MMD so they wont last come 2016 will flush them into the political sewer line where they belong.
What is this convicted Armed Bank Robber Chuumbwe saying! This just shows how low Zambia has sunk under PF. How can we let ourselves be ruled by Armed Robbers? How can a descent man like Mwale associate himself with known convicted and convicted criminals?
But even in a failed state like Zambia, criminals like Chuumbwe and Mwale cannot have a monopoly of violence because we shall also arm and protect ourselves!! Renamo arms can be easily smuggled through the porous Zambian borders! And there will be no shortage of sponsors!
We surely will NOT fail to give the PF a taste of their own medicine – after all it is high time we also started exporting refugees and Zambia will be UNgovernable if that is what Chuumbwe and Stardy Mwale want!
We surely need to do something and DO IT NOW!!!
Chuumbwe dont think that Zambia belongs to you PF thugs alone. We will deall with you sevely at an opportune time. Watch your fu.cking back you imbeccile. It will be an eye for am eye.
An eye for an eye. But remember useless Chuumbwe, the people always win.
Sata is a rouge.
Ubulezi Ndobo. Which president are you protecting? Is there any president in Zambia or you mean this lame duck? You mean this dictator who is always pulled by the nose by Mmembe?
Rouge means . Unpricinpled. Deceitful. Liar. Rascal or a full.
Haa! Did he actually admit to committing acts of criminality? Where’s Ms Kasoswe , the Copperbelt Police Commissioner?
Now even cadres are holding press briefings. Who exactly is running the country? Does Zambia have an elected President?
Its free for all…the country is on autopilot. And we are insulted when we question why Sata is taking a holiday and taking out the presidential challenger at taxpayer’s expence.
It is like Zambia is flying without a pilot ! All of a sudden everyone remembers they once flew a kite when they were kids and think they can fly a Jumbo jet ?? Think again, running a country and being a leader is much more sophisticated than organising groups of Panga-wilding murderers !!!
In any peace-loving country this empty tin Geoffrey Chumbwe would be receiving a call from police for inciting political violence….this is a clear sign of absenteeism leadership of Sata, if this continues by 2016 its going to be a messy affair.
And you call these “Our leaders”…OMG! Challenge lies from opposition with authentic facts not violence. Ordinary citizens went to “chess” HH? Am meant to believe that PF carders are not ordinary citizens. I see no order in PF. Anyone can say anything at any time while the president looks on without denouncing such people or acts.
idiocy at best
Didnt kabimba just denounce violence? This party is just a pile of rubbish. This one says this and another one says that. All of them are presidents of the party.
ZP why not arrest this man for proposing violence? How can this nonsense be condoned? By saying if the law does not sort the alleged internet criminals insulting the president, he and his group will take law in his hands. This is very careless talk. This is not acceptable coming from officials of ruling party. This is recipe for anarchy. Is this the official position of the PF? This implies that we should all arm ourselves. No one is going to watch while being sorted out. This is war!
We expect the president, being commander in chief to prevent this from escalating into a full scale civil war. Tensions are high it’s only a trigger away!! Rwanda who thought it would happen? Don’t take this peace for granted.
This is the problem with African politics, Zambian politics to be precise stupidity at its core. You cant just justify violence just because the president is been insulted has he puts it. These animals should be reminded that Sata is the servant of the people not the other way round. If they feel like insulting him that’s their right as they exercised their right to vote when elections took place. We must move away from this form of autocratic politics and be able to openly criticize our leaders when they error. This is what happens in most advanced democracies. Presidents and prime ministers are insulted daily by the opposition. No one goes around beating people up like stupid thugs. God Help us if these are the brains running the country.
Spot on…What Sata is getting is nothing compared to the insults he used to throw at RB and Mwanawasa when he was in opposition. The man can even host a press conference to address the nation.
We have sunk very low!
Chumbwe you are an idi0t !! What a st-upid justification for violence, you thug!!
Happy Easter, and may GOD Bless all PEACE LOVING ZAMBIANS wherever they are in the world.
Peace & Love
P.F. IS THE ORGANISED CRIME GANG OF CONFUSION!!
There was a Belly Politician on L.T, – some so called “Doctor minister”, who said P.F is Not violent, & the Savages who attacked H.H. were masquerading as P.F, possibly hinting that H.H. was attacked by his own cadres. The print had barely run dry, & you get a certified P.F. savage confirming, the violence suffered by opposition leaders & citizens is their handiwork. These P.F. Morons are Devils who are even known to hack their own in cold blood!
With all this NO CONDEMNATION FROM PLOT 1.
You shall know them by the company they keep & fraternise with, as they say “Birds of a Feather Flock” P.F. is the worst mistake Zambia made voting to power, & i’m 99.9% sure there will NEVER be a worst Government to befall this country ever in…
Continued;
Zambias future.
Wow I can’t believe this level of stupidity all the carders both in the ruling and all other parties. I don’t know what kind of politics we are practicing back home, but if I where party president this man would have just bought himself the last interview ever for the party. No leadership whatsoever this is ridiculous and embarassing some people should just keep their mouth shut instead of soliciting like a hooker for camera time and making a fool of himself the party and the nation! This 2014 no one should violently react because of insults, ubo bufontini! Can’t even control carderes useless.
You fools deserve more insults?
I remember telling collegues that after PF Zambians will learn and know how to vote.We have had lying Governments before but this one just stinks ha?19.00hrs news you listen to the D.Minister of Energy you just want to puke.Now we need to have our own oil for fuel prices to go down puliziiiiii?Nonsense?How about the Kwacha?May we need to start using the USD to have a stable exchange rate.PF puliziiii?
Yaba, am sure the same chap will shouting on top of his voice in 2016 asking for votes and promising to find the oil in 90 days.
Kubufi nako eko bashala akashiki!!! Does Botswana have oil?? How come their fuel and food prices are just right. And their economy is thriving?? Go back to school PF government!!!
Ci Chumbwe us Zambians like to yap yaumfwa.We mbwa we….Sata got into office because of yapping yaumfwa.Get outta here…
Please learn to distinguish between insults and criticism!!! While you are at it, take a peak at our constitution, faulty – yes, but It does talk about freedom of speech!!!
Chumbwe, send law enforcement agencies to Mahtani. He is protected by Zambiawat.chdo.g. Make him talk and you will reach reporters of Z.WD. Prompto, you finish them and your problems are over. If he does not cooperate close buggers bank. Reopen money laundering cases.
And it begins in earnest, the degeneration to insults and more violence.
Easter message from the PF! Lovely!
Why are Zambians so full of s**t? I suppose when you elect a president who is senile what can you expect. He does not even know what day of the week it is. You might as well elect William Banda in 2016. At least he is alive.
It seems to b a threat but I have a big doubt wether the results will b in his favour
This is what happens when you elect kaponyas in government starting with the president to ministers and the party at large!!!!!!.PF NEEDS TO GO!!!!!!
The language is that of a proper thug. Chumbwe the thief speaks, kawalala. I wish we had a functional Police Service
@goncalves.dear u hav made my day@kasoswe u mean joyce?chumbwe z a criminal nt only that but a armed robber,mwachepa sana we are more than u thnk,this shows how low your education standards bcoz u cn only intimidete your 5yr old thug with those words,your police cadres cn only manage 2 glab lamd,mr robber do’nt piiii & thnk evry z as useles as u are.days are numbered what ever goes up most come down,taba nyela ku source.
Zambians ar many than pf members once we want to act we can without any interfearance from any angle, i belive my fellow reanable zambias have already annweared gkc
We should surely learn from events on the planet – when unregulated supporters of a ruling party arm themselves as a ‘home militia’ and perpetuate violence in the name of sustaining the status quo against ‘enemies’. Obviously PF cadres don’t follow socio-political world events – neither are most of them ‘schooled’ in political tact and tolerance. They will start the fire that will engulf the country – and still blame it on someone else. The time to get rid of these political psychos is now! Remember my word. Now! Not 2016.
Chumbwe Kabwalala wa Ndeke, you Are a criminal . Here on the copper belt stard MWALE used Younson kalobo Paviuma kalobo and all the jeraboys from KITWE , who attacked HH . We this famil came from Malawi . Remember each party has youths who are so ready to protect there leader, chumbwe You are plactising politics of poverty , so that sata can hear you . KABWALALA WANDEKE IWE
The president is a political president he’isnt mornarch according to the constitution
Zambia is not a Kingdom!! Where the king’s son (Prince) or daughter (Princess) inherits their father’s throne!!
“If the law enforcers fail to deal with such internet criminals, we shall have no choice but to deal with them ourselves. Our party functionaries countrywide are on red alert on how to trace and deal with such criminals”
I’m ashamed that these are the type of people leading our country. Encouraging cadres to take the law into their own hands is basically telling them their above the law. Infringing on my freedom of speech is in no way upholding the law. PF is a such a joke party. It’s comedy reading these statements that these guys put out. It’s almost like they want to be hated and are slowly leading us to a dictatorship. Also these people have no idea how the internet works. If you know what you’re doing you can use your pc in zambia but look like you’re somewhere else in the…
When Gen, Kudos and Haleisa Haleisa are quiet I suspect they are they could be the speakers of the staff people are commenting on. Why are you quiet or you are waiting to see the reaction to the stuff spewed by your type in the name of Chumbwe et al?
Zambians should start arming themselves to protect their families. The future is not clear or secure. Protect your households. Zambia is on the verge…
Just because one is president does not mean he deserves respect. He must earn that respect.
Kaunda was once quoted saying “those who rise by the sword,will die by the sword!”. It must hv been at the then Ndola airport during the aftermath of the failed Mwamba Luchembe coup. PF leaders please take control of your vigillantes. Or is it you instructing them to be very violent?
President shall fire Scott. He is a mole destroying PF.
Continue putting the country on disrupt, one day you shall meet the waterloo.
PF being forced to act violently is just an admission that the villagers party doesn’t know squat about RULE OF LAW.
Chumbwe – In so much as William Banda could have said the same about Rupiah Banda, he is the one that got humiliated and suffered material loss.
You will have to defend yourself against the people, and Chumbu Munshololwa won’t be there to protect you. It’s you against the Zambian’s my friend.
Where z cadrenes mushota & cadre saulosi?are they ashemed?
No one forces you to act violently. You make that choice yourselves…What a piece of …
So these thugs have just admitted that the PF are perpetuating violence, so where is the police to arrest these thugs? Who told you that Sata is a god from UNIP era who cannot be ‘insulted’?Where were these thugs when Sata was busy ‘insulting’ L. Mwanawasa and Rupiah Banda?
Condemning Sata for not doing a good job as a president amounts to insults according to these thugs? We already have shoddy laws that deal with insulting the president so how come these PF biased cops haven’t quickly applied these laws yet?
And listen to him: “I can tell you that my cadres in Lusaka are looking for work”. So he knows his PG govt isn’t providing jobs and yet when people are tyring to question his president he thinks they are insulting him.
By just looking at the posting above, anyone can easily conclude that already there is no freedom of speech in the nation because of intimidation coming from these Panga Fools ‘imbesaoos’ How possible is that out over of 13 million people from within Zambia , no one dares to post anything on forums like this? People are really living in fear. The late Chiluba was indeed very collect to say this man called Sata can not be entrusted with the reigns of the nation………we are indeed seeing for ourselves now!
We, the upright people, outnumber the THUGS in Zambia, that is why we are a country of piece, but if these THUGS think that they are the ones who own Zambia alone, they must think twice!
But it was alright for the president to insult the former heads of state? Zambia has become a country of violence ruled by cadres. It just shows the type of people ruling. Uwenda muchani taumfwa inswasa.
Do these guys realise they are decampaining themselves? instead of focusing on peace and mobilise support for ruling party instead they are championing anarchy. Zambians are not gullible they will obviously team up to remove this violent party in government. We have really gone to stone age. It’s surprising that PF is not willing to hear counter views from anyone. Whoever does it is declared enemy number one. We surely need to change our attitudes.
@Ngalande, No, these guys do not realise they are actually decampaigning themselves. Shocking, isn’t it? They are so thick and dull it would require a surgical procedure to restore rational thinking into them.
