Kasempa residents bemoan poor ZNBC TV, radio signal

Share

Some residents in Kasempa District in North western Province have complained that lack of television (TV) and radio signal would hinder them to vote wisely in the October 30 elections as they have less information on the contesting candidates.

Bweupe Shindano, a farmer in Kasempa’s Lubofu area located about 40 kilometres from the main district says lack of TV and radio signal will hinder the electorate from voting wisely.

Mr. Shindano observed that some people only know one presidential candidate hence local communities have been denied an opportunity to know visions of candidates contesting the election.

He said the area has a population of 3 000 people and noted that the majority would make wise decisions through programmes that featured and discussed all contesting candidates.

“We learn by listening and watching but due to lack of signals people know less about the candidates,” he said.

And some of the people talked to revealed that only two people are contesting in this year’s presidential election.

The communities in Lubofu, Mpungu and Kakombe appealed to Government to improve the radio signal which they described as bad.

Mr. Shindano said the national radio signal goes off in the evening before the main news on the Zambia National Broadcasting Services (ZNBC).

“We hardly listen to the news here so we don’t know what is happening during this period of the election, we therefore appeal to the authorities to come to our aid,” he said.

  5. #12 Dont condemn them, thats a rural part deep in the village with no electricity at all. Even in other parts of the country be it Northern, South, East, Luapula name them, there are remote areaS where they think RB is the sole candidate. in the previous elections for instance PF never campaigned in N/W it was only UPND and MMD, thats the more reason why they have only MMD and UPND MPS. But you guys in PF called Kaondes all sorts of names. How do they vote for you when your physical presence was not felt

  6. #15, interesting points there. PF cadres have little understanding of Zambia. They chose to be brainwashed instead of getting to grips with reality. Even now, Some Bwalya – a Bemba man – and the imgebuilders of Sata Sata’s mouthpiece The POST have produced some terrible opinino poll that Sata would win. The interesting point is that the characters that produced this opinion poll are all BEMBA PEOPLE.
    Zambias, wake up and see things in a normal perspective. How can 3 Bembas cheat you all. You Zambians are very intelligent and you can do better than being brainwashed. Together, let us build Zambia and vote for real change by endorsing HH on October 30, 2008. Thank you Zambians.
