Police in Monze have arrested a man who stormed SKY FM radio station on Monday night, destroying property worth millions of Kwacha.

SKY FM Sales and Marketing Executive, Paul Siambala, confirmed the incident to ZNBC news.

He said the man gained entry into the radio station after breaking windows using a fire extinguisher.

Mr. Siambala said the man then grabbed the microphone from the announcer on duty and insulted President Rupiah Banda and Information Minister, Ronnie Shikapwasha.

He said he was alerted by listeners and immediately informed police who apprehended the suspect.

  1. CHARGE THE MISFIT WITH MALICIOUS DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND INSULTING THE PRESIDENT. JAIL THE F O O L AT LEAST 2 YEARS HARD LABOUR. NICE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND A CLEAR MSG TO LAWLESS JERKS.

  2. #2, Democracy is about respecting the collective voice of the people as expressed through periodic free and fair elections. It is never about respecting your own choice. If each one insists on respecting only their choice, you will end up destroying peace and valuable social and economic infrastructure and ultimately become a failed state which benefits no one. Zambia is a free country and every one can be heard. But Zambia should never be a country of anarchy.

  3. A Hungry man is a Angry man………….ticking time bomb…….. about to explode! When people continue to die of hunger despite working hard, and they hear of parties thrown for rich foreigners its sad news, only a men withs balls has the gutts to do something about it,…

  4. RB and Shikapwasha are just behaving like Napoleon and Squealer from the ‘Animal farm’book. I understand people’s anger.

  5. People dont be manipulated read the story carefully on the Post its free, this guy was being used. He is from Ndola how did he find himself in SP. Someone must have paid him really good and am sure the guy will not be jailed. The guy is niether supporting the media nor R$B so why did he do that????????????????

  6. Where doez this leave the safety of the staff at SKY FM radio and indeed the security of the expensive equipment?

  7. Somebody give this man a role in one of the action hollywood movies. he deserves it. lol

    Where were the security cards when he was breaking in? Pa zed there is too much Uncensored drama

  8. zambians dont think.the leader u elect r just as stupid….this is what happens when a nation is full of frustration and failure.vote wisely in the mean time viva brain drain.ifipuba fishale filevotela MMD..

  9. Guys read the story on the post web, It seems the guy was sent by MMD guys in Ndola. The guy was saying RB has failed to due with the post and some radio stations like SKY FM so he would do it for him. He went further to to say RB is corrupt thats why he has failed to deal with the post and SKY FM. It appears its the work of MMD.

  10. LOL! People are going crazy. In Itezi tezi, they are committing suicide in numbers…talk about frustration. We all need counseling man. LOL!

  11. Is this the anarchy the PF has exported to Southern Province, the land of sober people? Anyway make sure that this man meets the full wrath of the law and fully pays for every property he destroyed. In a democracy there is a civilized way to express your differences. Please don’t take this great national back to Stone Age.

  12. i dont think there is anything wrong with waht this man did, may be breaking the windows, the rest, not his fault, he was only excersing his freedom of speech.
    ha ha

  13. With ultimatums about media regulation on the horizon, these are the kinds of things that will be frustrating people. So I have no comment about this man but as a good judge would do, it is like killing a man who you find laying your wife, you can claim partial insanity and get away with it, the only thing against this man is that he will need to prove to the courts that there was no other way of taking out his frustrations!

  14. This man must be sick in his head. Who is happy with the way the country is being run ? but I mean you don’t resort to doing things in madness. Let the law take it’s turn now.

  15. #10 Gonena- Have you got some one in mind? Tell us more. #16 How can you pick on one party. Have you asked the guy why he did what he did? Secondly cant you see the anarchy in MMD? You think there is any sense of sanity in MMD? Be honest this party is only surviving because it is in government.

  16. Ba LT surely, were do you get your stories from ? This story is very different from the one reported in the post newspaper. How can someone from Ndola become a Monze man ?

  17. That radio station must be closed ,it is danger to national security.How can a drunk get into a radio station so easily?Ronnie must put on new entry rules to such facilities as a condition for
    renewal of licensees.such things only happen in Zambia.

  18. ala chakupapa! no.16 dont insult PF. the man has very good reason for doing it.its not PF. this is the problem with MMD cadres and suppoter .

  19. Ghost Dog ha ha ha.
    Well done young man you did well its a wake up call for the govt . go to ZNBC and other Radio Stations you have nothing to lose. What insults did you shower RB? uli mukali boi, kip it up.

  20. This is a different story again, yesterday they said the gentleman lie to the security officers manning the gate to say had a story, but again this execctive is telling us the kawalala gained entry thru the window. Which is which?

  21. Yeah when enough is enough a man’s got to do what a man’s go to do. We need more of such characters and fiasco’s.Wonder what the insults were, amakandi????

  22. Dont just condenm this Guy, there must be things frustrating his feeling about RB and his governement just like we are all upset over RB Governance, he only had courage to show his anger that way. if Rb has got ears to hear its time he woke up, the message is clear this guy dropped a bomb on him.

  23. Did he insult the president by calling him corrupt? It seems he was more pissed off about the reporting from the Post and this ka radio station

  24. IF HE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY WHY NOT ARRANGE FOR A PRESS CONFERENCE IN MONZE AND IT WILL BE UP TO THE ANIMALS FROM THE LOCHIVAR NATIONAL PARK TO JUDGE HIM RIGHT OR WRONG BY SHITING ON HIM!

  25. Lets not incite people to be diong what they are doing, we know we’ve different opinion but violence is not the answer. As Zambians lets continue supporting the govt in power in this case of RUPIAH BANDA next time it will of ……………………..even me

  26. Charge the owners of SKY FM Monze for failing to secure the air station. We are lucky this man was just expressing his anger at the leadership of this country in his own way. Its good that most of broadcasting houses in Lusaka have bin located around Mass Media area for security reasons. If he was that disgrantled he would have alarmed the local community with the unspeakable announcement. In any case the man acted in his own and the rest is History.
    The owners of the Radio station should be delt with that was negligence on their part and its a wake up call for other radio stations. The world is changing every day and pipo are becoming sophiscated. Charge the man with damage to property and owners with negligence. To the man I say BRAVO but u wil be charged as well.

  27. #46 How will that benefit you? Do you have relatives in Zambia and how sure are that after that civil war you want, when you are safe outside Zambia, their livelihood would improve? Any examples of where such has helped without serious implications?

  28. A crime is a crime,punishment shall come of course on both sides,i.e the ndola man for vandalism and SKY for incompitence…the motives of the man are deep,dont be quick to judge his wrong doing,he should be heard all the same,or else there may be others…

  29. CANT RB SEE THAT HE IS REJECTED EVEN BY HIS PARTY-MMD? THE GUY WAS SENT BY MMD IN NDOLA. RB PLEASE JUST RESIGN…tapali ichenu baba.

  30. I have never wished i was a monkey before but I now so much wish I was a monkey at state house. i serously would have done a strong poopo on RB

  31. #16 whoever you are, wheather you are from Southern uli mbushisana don’t say such things about PF. All the rubbish that has been going on with the MMD is it PF. And are telling us that in Southern there can be no crazy people. We hear in the news about all sorts of crazy tthings happening so such a don’t be a fool

  32. There are thousands of frustrated people in Zambia. What would be the result if they all behaved like this Ndola vandal? He should have used the Sky forum programme to air his grievances instead of destroying property at this nice station which ranks 6th to Radios 1,2,Christian Voice,Radio 4, Radio Phoenix in terms coverage- Kabwe to Lstone.

  33. why so many protests in the country: nurses, CBU, UNZA, Shoprite, Radio wrestler, etc…. RB and guys must be on alert.

  34. Is it true that free to air satellite dishes wont be opperating in october,Ati DSTV signed a contract with zamtel.

  35. The guy was sent by MMD to make people belive that the radio station is useless, not Long aga there was a wrangle between Sky FM and Shikapwasha it was not resolved they wanted to close the station but somehow they failed and now they have a reason to close the station. PEOPLED DONT BE FOOLED IT WAS WELL ORGANISED.

  36. ma beer yama sir name ati chibuku shake-shake can make you do silly but funny things….hahahaha. i like the guy though. i wish it was on video.LOL

  37. I’ve always said on this blog that the only way to remove MMD is to employ any means necessary.Come 2011 MMD will still be in power through rigging and RB as president.Any means necessary is the only way forward.The only free and fair election in Zambia was in November 1991 when we removed Kaunda,all the others have been fraudulant.
