Government has maintained that the law will take its course on any person trying to destabilize the peace of other members of the public.
Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani says there is need for people in the country to desist from activities that are likely to disturb and bring confusion in the country.
Mr. Mangani told journalists in Lusaka yesterday that, the police have the mandate to ensure that peace prevails in the country including the roads at all times.
He noted that people planning to use the roads to cause confusion will be dealt with by the police adding that they also risk being arrested.
Mr. Mangani further cautioned that unnecessary honking and whistling on roads is an offence and any person found wanting will be arrested.
The Minster was reacting to the decision by 18 Civil Society Organizations (CSO) who have vowed to continue honking and whistling against Dr. Chiluba’s acquittal.
Last week a consortium of 18 CSOs devised various strategies such as honking and whistling as a way of protesting against the acquittal of former President Chiluba.
And nine motorists among them two Patriotic Front (PF) Members of Parliament have since been arrested and charged with conduct likely to breach public peace and unnecessary hooting contrary to the laws of Zambia.

Then just what does it mean to be in a democratic state???? The civil society has the right to participate fully in the whole process of governance whether or not decisions made are affecting the state. Perhaps its time we started contemplating on the idea of embracing African Democratic values other than being democratic in name.
Honking is nothing, these F O O L S should be more concerned about the party rebellion that is brewing in Mongu. Just watch how in a few weeks this will fester and engulf the whole MMD. This is all the MMD system needed, a few men with bollocks made of steel, standing like proud Burkinabes (UPRIGHT MEN) on their own two feet, saying enough nonsence is enough nonsence. The entire country cannot afford to be taken for granted by an aesthetically unpleasant (ugly) dry old and clueless man with his LAZO friend and red-lipped snake any more, its kuya bebele this time.
Honking is not the issue. The people are not very happy and they’ll find another way of expressing themselves.Â
This will not look good in the foreign press. It will hurt our tourist industry. Every Zambian has a right to freedom of expression. Chiluba does not help matters in the way he is arrogantly behaving at the moment. A little humility from Kafupi would be welcome.
Iwe chi Mangani just shut up! Atase!
yes u cow you mangani, shut your trap up.
by the way i whistle in my car as i drive. is that an offence too you cow?
i honk when there’s traffic. is that an offence too you cow?
you’re just a cow you cow and you boss along with his mistress is a cow.
#’7, Ing’ombe is far much better than this sub-human. He is just an i.d.i.o.t
Just shut up you fool and MMD robot. Mangani your time with your useless colleagues will be up very soon. How come you tolerate your MMD cadres and all those that support your nonsense to demo and even issue threats to you and you let the go scort free? Foolishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ine kuti nacuma ici ci mudala mweeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ningacimenye!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just arrest the fools
Mr Mangani do not abuse your powers cos one day you will relinguish that seat whether you like it or not. Am pretty sure after next year you will be a destitute and will need the community for assistance. Advice RB the best way to handle the situation not through confrotation
For MMD, surely surely mwebanathu, Is Chiluba worth all this trouble for you?? Come on you should have better things to do or worry about than fight a LAZO’s battles. Let him fight the people alone.
How come this is an issue now? Soccer fans blow trumpets and whistle after their trumpets when their teams win. Has this ever been an issue? NO! Newly weds blaze away every weekend. Has this ever been an issue? NO! But now that this is a protest, suddenly it is an issue. You chaps should go back to your rat eating villages. You are an embarrassment to the country
Infact this time around am joining the honking and whistling coz am not happy too!!!
These MMd guys should try to visit places like beer halls bars and tarverns even football matches and they hear the truth. They are only depending on using the police to suppress the feelings of the people- Bembas say ukusungila amafina muchilonda cannot last forever.
Managni..bonfya imutwe.. he  has no plan, but just wants to threaten the people, I think they are the ones causing confusions in the country..  I know , you can arrest me if I had to honk in chachacha  road and freedom way, but on great-east road can you do it, between town and Chelstone?? Or Addis ababa… The people are not only concetrated in town…The number of police officers has never been greater than the majority of people in a demonstration..Â
There is no way out just do what the people want!!!!
We have so many problems to sort out /fix some created by FTJ and we should not be seen to be wasting time and energy on FTJ by honking and whistling. We wanted the the due process of law to take place and the man has been sent free by the courts of law. What else. Captian Solo and other tried to kick FTJ out of power by unlawful means and they were subjected to the due process of the law and are serving sentences for treason. Those men spoke that FTJ and hios cronies were rooting public coffers and we thought they heads were full of beer. We should not be questioning judgements when it does not suit our expectations. Judgement can go either way. We need to move forward as a nation and not remain stuck at Zero coz of FTJ’s issues. The man is still getting his entitlements. Lets us forget
Infact this time I think the vuvuzelas will do to make the loudest noise so that those with thick heads like yourself and your colleagues will hear the cry ……………
The League game is very tough for MMD who are about to lose Western Province to UPND, HH has destroyed both MMD and ULP, what a strategist.! Sata should camp in the Northern Province so that MMD fail to penetrate. NorthWestern will also be a battle zone. I see HH outshining the MMD campaign team. Katele is very clever, making no enemies and perhaps waiting to seize the highest party office. Mulogotti with his long range degree may be the most humiliated. Where are the other ministers why the dead silence! Adice let Chiluba return to court, a lozi be vice president etc otherwise once the Lozis say no to MMD, just like the Tongas did forget about their votes. I sympathise with Lungwagwa because it is his end as MP, will he return to UNZA to get a small salary!
All we can say is that again like i the past when mercenaries have emerged, without a blink patriotism is live to the task of nipping anarchy in its bud. Every patriot has some moral responsibility to sacrifice a few fanatical anarchists than the 12 million peace loving citizens guided by laws and constitutionalism. There is zero tolerance for anarchy in this country but overwhelming capacity to decisively purge anarchism mercenaries are gambling with.
The responsibility of a patriot is to preserve territorial integrity from internal and external anarchy.And patriotism is live to the task
Can these pipo stop makin noise by hookin an whisling,th court has made a rulling wat more do u pipo want to do to our Former Head of State.
in a civilised state, FTJ would be in for 40 years. Trust my statement…I am tired of ZED..
IG! I HOPE YOU ARE THE TRUE IG OF THE POLICE. IF YOU ARE NOT, THEN YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO COMMENT. LOOK HERE, HE IS A FORMER HEAD OF STATE BUT HE IS A DUMB BIG THIEF WHO I PRESUME SHOULD HAVE MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON THAN THE WAY YOU ARE LIVING TODAY. COME ON IF FTJ IS YOUR UNCLE JUST TELL US…
Zambia will NEVER have a civil war. Do you know the reason why African countries go to civil wars? These politicians are greedy cows. We don’t have a destiny, vision and a “BETTER” future with the MMD. I feel sad for my son. God save this country from the shackles of oppression and poverty. The roads are bad, education standards are very low, the economy is weak.
#22. IG. All we want is him to go where he belongs “Jail” simple!!!!
I salute the people of Western Province for the stand taken. They have seen that they can not be fooled by their National leadership and hence better do the right thing….call for the national convention. If only other provinces can emulate their Western counterparts Zambia can develop.
The case has been on for many years and now has finally come to rest. Let it be. Making noise is a waste of time and unproductive, it will just cause problems for the same people making the noise. Let us concentrate on the current affairs.
JOHN WHAT HAVE THE WESTERN COUNTERPARTS DONE? JUST A QN..
The police and state media are worse than ever before. I miss LPM atleast he was a much better President than RB and FTJ.
OBAMA, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A PRESIDUA WHO IS FROM UNIP AND LOVES ZIM WAY OF POLITICS..

# 29. you seem to be in the dark. Let me update you from an article in one of the tabloids headlined: W/Province MMD threaten to discipline Lungwangwa, Kaingu. THE MMD provincial executive committee (PEC) in Western Province has threatened to discipline communications minister Professor Geoffrey Lungwangwa and community development minister Michael Kaingu for opposing the province’s resolve that the party national convention proceeds. Western Province MMD youth chairman Musangu Njamba said the province consulted extensively before coming up with the position not to sign a petition to defer the ruling party convention.
Njamba said in an interview last Friday that the party in the province was therefore surprised with assertions by Prof Lungwangwa and Kaingu that they were not among the Western parliamentarians that had opposed the deferment of the national convention.
“We are surprised at the remarks by Kaingu and Lungwangwa that they were not part of the parliamentarians who met,” Njamba said. “What we know is that Kaingu is the provincial treasurer for MMD Western Province and the provincial executive committee on Thursday last week met before that statement from the chairman.”
Njamba said 15 PEC members out of the 24 met in Mongu to discuss the petition on the postponement of the ruling party convention.
“We were 15 plus the chairman we were 16 and we issued that statement of the provincial executive committee after consulting all our districts and constituencies,” he said. “The statement that the chairman [Simasiku Namakando] gave was out of the same meeting…then we agreed and issued the statement that we were distancing ourselves from those people who are calling for the postponement of the convention.”
Njamba said Western Province was against the postponement of the national convention because the majority of the ruling party’s national executive committee (NEC) was nominated.
“We see the postponement will be like third term where FDD was formed, so we do not want the same thing to happen,” he said. “Those other provinces that are saying they are endorsing Rupiah Banda that is what they said to Mwanawasa and Chiluba. When they went to the convention they did not vote for them.”
On Kaingu and Prof Lungwangwa’s action to distance themselves from the provincial resolve, Njamba challenged the two ministers to take time and go to their constituencies and see if they would come back with a single signature on the petition to postpone the party convention.
“I think even the President should realise that such kind of leaders are very dangerous because as a provincial executive committee we are trying to tell the President the truth and they are trying to cheat him just to protect their positions,” he said. “Kaingu was not there but he is supposed to follow what we are saying because he is a part of the provincial executive committee. They are cowards…the general feeling is that if these people want to go their way we are going to discipline them.
POPO OK. AND IG YOU ARE THE POEPLE WHO ARE FAILING US IN ZED…
Njamba said Kaingu and Prof Lungwangwa should always remember that they were in their positions because of the party in the province.
“We do not want to make parallel structures in Western Province. When they came, they found the party united,” he said. “They have to respect us if we issue a statement. We are not issuing a statement to hurt them. We are issuing a statement for the whole province because we have consulted.”
Njamba also accused Mulobezi member of parliament Michael Mabenga and acting party spokesperson Mike Mulongoti of causing confusion within the ruling party.
This is gonna get nasty. The level of arrogance by MMD and Chiluba’s arrogance is disgusting. At times I feel like exploding….
Which people do we need now? RB, Mulongoti, VJ????? Guys this is our time. That’s the reason why we are stuck up in the mud. We need to move forward there’s a lot of work we need to do as youths. I am a very proud young Zambian educated by best academicians Africa has ever produced, the likes of Prof Taban Lo Liyong, Prof Kariuki (Kenyan), Ali Al’amin Mazrui. I don’t need a GRZ connection and I am a very proud young man, God has blessed me with a rich success in many spheres of life. Let us think and identify leaders with a destiny and vision for this country. Zambia is for Zambians. Every Zambian is equal thus we must be treated equal in the eyes of the Lord, the Zambian constitution and universal human rights
money government
the leader is a monkey, his vice and ministers are all monkeys
Why is it that everything against GRZ is an act of anarchy in Zambia? Quote “Mike Mulongoti, the MMD’s acting spokesperson during the ongoing by-election campaigns in Kasama Central, eventually said that Chiluba’s acquittal was a political decision, but mumbled incoherently about whether the decision not to appeal was the right” Mubanga Luchembe, Lusaka
The past few weeks have shown the rationale for vetting Cabinet. The behaviour of cabinet members has been very unbecoming
One Forbes 400 member does actually run a small chunk of a state in an official capacity: Mayor Michael Bloomberg. While he is busy serving as the chief executive of New York City and grappling with its sluggish economy, his own personal balance sheet–amassed through financial information services and media company Bloomberg LP–equals the value of all the goods and services produced in Southern Africa’s Republic of Zambia’s ($17.5 billion).
Vuvuzelas are selling like hot cakes in Lusaka for this Friday’s second push.
Can someone help my senile hubby to run this country
At the rate we are moving, Zim Zim problems will look like child’s play.
Iwee ci Mangani just keep quiet!!!! you think if you have hungry police officers on your side that you can insult us anyhow. You are a stupid fool! Come friday you will c how annoyed we are.
Well done minister. make sure you hammer them. these are traitors, this has nothing to do with democracy, this is selfish useless agents of foreign natuons wanting to destroy zambia so we can be another zimbabwe
#32. IG. Bush and Tony Blair are not our problem but Americans and British. But Chiluba is our probelm here hence honking and whistling!!!!!
The reason why we have courts of law is to assist in settling disputes as well as dispensing justice fairly based on evidence, facts and the law. The reason why we have higher courts is for dissatified parties in a dispute to appeal to higher courts. So you hopeless MMD chaps in a situation where you block appeals, what do you want people to do? I think you are beyond your expiry date because the blockage of the appeal is the genesis of anarchy. If as some of you claim he has been cleared, fine let him equally be cleared by a higher court, then we shall shut up. Chopeti!
You call yourselves cabinet ministers? Real issues are torturing the country – Chinese contractor is to import cement from China because Zambian cement is below standard and you all in the cabinet find that acceptable. How many jobs are lost? – but you are busy blubbering about trivial offences.
Can someone help where can I get Vuvuzelas here in Kitwe????
# 34 ,Mufana wanga IG ati bwanji iwee, u tok unprofessionally u shuld anderstand politics before bucking anyhw.
The best way to handle this is to get gather a crowd much larger than the police and all start honking. They dont even have space or capacity to arrest everyone. RB and co are tempting fate, this thing if not handled well could spiral out if control with very dire consequences. Our Police are ill trained and demotivated – they can easily be taken on. In my Unza days we disarmed a para and beat up a few of them. When you confront a wild animal, you need to leave it space to escape. Do not back it up into a corner otherwise it will rip you apart. This is indeed the begining of the end.
Democracy should prevail in Zambia and that is the other means for the people to express themslves to GRZ to act
Guys. In as far as most of you seem angered by the acquittal, I think making noise and disturbing some of us who want to drive in peace is not a solution. You are busy talking about democracy which to me is the rule of law. We cannot behave like wild animals. For those aggrieved I advise go get a permit and hold a legal rally or peace full demonstration other than uncontrollable and uncivilised behaviour.
Peace loving and road traffic obedient citizen
#60 Pumkin, thanks for the offer but no thanks. We have tried peaceful civilised means but they seem not to work when you are dealing with the likes of our “Leaders”. Martin Luther King once said that to be obedient to injustice or unjust laws makes you as guilty of oppression as the person who passes the laws.
Honking and whistling are the noblest methods of protestation. This week’s participation will be at a scale that you have never witnessed before.
People we have to understand freedom does not come free. Someone has to spill blood for us to ejoy the freedom which these thieves in MMD are trying to take away from us. This national governancy problems will not be solved in the name of protecting our national security or peace. We just need to stand on our two feet and say enough is enough and claim the freedom which our four fathers fought for us. Many people paid a price for to takl like we are doing right now. Sometimes we zambian’s like to react when things get out of hand. Time is now. If you love Zambia honk,honk,honk and wistle, wistle, In fact this strategy is not that effective, if we all can go intto the street at once, no one can handle the pressure not even the police
At least time is on our side… All these chaps born before 1960 are just a problem.. I mean all of them.. if anything they are the chaps that voted for RB If you look at the demographics, and are the ones that are are still quite tribal. Anyway at least in ten years time it will be our time. We the enlightened, better educated, better exposed, cosmopolitan, mixed tribe, non-tribe prejudiced young generation will drive our Zambia into prosperity. So even if 2012 doesnt work out.. 2020 will. after all half of these chaps will probably not be around or too old..
Cheers to you 64 Digga… Its True 2020.
2020 is the year that a real Zedians rule
Under which Section/Cap of the Law Mr Mangani? Traffic offence? 68 pin fine! atase
I feel sorry for the police because half a time they dont use their brains,they have abdicated from their God given right of reasoning and debased themselves so low that they fail exercise their brains even on simple things. So will i be wrong to say Police service isn’t for the intelligent but for the Group 3 if you know what i mean.
Forum members expect worse. BElieve the wheels of a vicious dictatorship have began turning. The next in line are the press. The 6 month ultimatum will pass and draconian legislation will be passed. I doubt LT with it’s critical commentators will survive.My sad prognosis is that by mid next year this country will be as it was in the UNIP days or even worse. Ever wondered why RBB is always over his head about visiting Zimbabwe, well he’s taking you there. sad sad sad sad. Arise patriots and save the nation.
I challenge Mr Mangani to show how honking is an arrestable offence what total bul*****
Pope Benedict’s emisary arrives in Zambia to mend fences with Kanitundila and also investigate how monkeys are now taking it upon themselves to babtize brethrens of christ. He first meets Kanitundila at State House, then called upon Local affairs chief Lameck Mangani before concluding with spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha. The emisary was later head telephoning Arch-bishop Telesphore Mpundu saying: “aesthetically, the trio he had just met lent credible evidence to the notion of man descending from monkeys and the church has therefore no qualms with monkeys babtising their own.
The arrest of the two MPs has just worsened matters. Pa Friday chikalila bane. Come out in big numbers and swamp all the police cells in Lusaka!
#60 Pumpkin, You want to drive in peace? No, we want good governance not corruption. I bet you bought your car thru corruption. I m busy mobilizing funds to buy VUVUZELAS for all . So forget it we will make noise till justice prevails.
iwe Erickson …prrof is those two MPs are arrested already. Zambians are cowards……I will keep you locked up from friday til monday
Good work mangani. Zambians are the worst cowards. catch a few chaps and lock them up and see what happens. s tupid zambians… talk is cheap. can this Mulafulafu and Lifuka go and honk openly by parliament and see what will happen…. they are dead scared and would rather use kaponyas to do their dirty work…If you need help VJ is there as a Security Consultant and I know the paras are batton happy….and willing
Honk please, i wish I was in Zambia. MMD has to go, I really don’t care who takes over. How can they let FTJ off the hook?
Iwe No#56 mamag g string …no need for vuvuzela. Just use your dirty mouth to whistleeeee.. atase. People are getting desparate and acting like headless chickens. You deserve a weekend in the cells and after that you will think properly
#60 Well, from what we read a few weeks ago a permit was denied for people wanting to peacefully demo against Chiluba. Most disturbing there is no govt official denouncing the protests against the British diplomat. What has more repercussions to Zambia’s economy internationally? I just read a few weeks ago policemen did not even have water in Mazabuka…. they could not use their toilets. Maybe you enjoy hearing the popo in Mazabuka are using the bush as toilets. People should suffer in silence. If they gave these people permits they would not HONK. What else can they do? HONKING is a very peaceful method ….MMD and govt believe Chiluba’s case should not be questioned that is where the problem starts. People want reiterate to the community corruption is not tolerated in Zambia.
#64.Digga. Honking is just a continuation of where the monkey ended his protestation. Going onto the streets will be the consummation of all protestations. Watch this space.
Pa Zed, whether it is wrong or not depending on what the GOVT favours,you never succeed so people take a stand and vindicate your rights
Honk if you love the country that nonesense about peace doesn’t cut it. We honk without any permisssion when wedding and celebrating football results honk honk honk whistle whistle
#75. Mangani. I can see you as dull as MMD, I asked where I can get vuvuzela. If you don’t know where to get it then keep quiet. Please!!!! don’t open your mouth unnecessary……..
An ex malawi in the making.
Aka ka FTJ he even has the guts to say he made 8.5 million dollars. Wat business was he doing for him to make such a good profit. Let him tell young businessmen so we can be `rich’ like him
The Lord will judge you, Mangani. And history will never forgive you. May you rest in eternal hell. Wena and you and Kafupi and RB and all of you…Kaufela!
Woods neliche boi bt u surprise me ke u thnk lik am nt entitled to my oppinion.
#82. Kawalala ni Kabolala ki Lisholi. The man who looted from taxpayer’s treasury went to hide the loot into Zamtrop account to avoid detection. Today he’s making a claim that it is his money. Any person who agrees with such a claim must be nuts.
IG, blogging can suck sometimes. everyone has A RIGHT to an opinion and everyone has their own angle of viewing things though some angles make much more sense than others.
If this guy and RB paid attention to their own words they would know that they in fact are the ones who should “desist from activities that are likely to disturb and bring confusion in the country” Saying Chiluba did not steal, etc is what is causing confusion in the country.
# 85 The frightening thing is that you can count our “leader” as one who falls under that category!
Mr. Mangani, any person who steals from poor people does not bring peace. He brings hunger, poverty, disease, desperation, destitution and an untimely death to a people.
WE ALL NEED TO TAKE TIME AND READ THE ZAMBIAN CONSTITUTION. ONCE EVERYBODY KNOWS THEIR RIGHTS THESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WILL NOT WALK ALL OVER THE ZAMBIANS.
#82 indeed the is no business Wabufi Kafupi could do to earn 8.5M. He was never a businessman before. It’s plain that that money is loot, plunder from GRZ. Arreest me for honking while the real thief is in a mansion in kabulonga………………………Munama boza
TOO MANY TIME WASTERS IN ZED… NOW THEY ARE PRETENDING TO BE SICK …I WANT THEM IN WARD E FIMO FIMO SO THAT THEY WILL GET REALLY SICK . OTHERS ARE FAKING STUDY LEAVE ETC . . . . I WILL KEEP THEM BUSY!!!! I WANT THOSE CARITAS AND TRANSPARENCE INTERNANTIONAL ZAMBIA CHAPS TO HONK OPENLY SO THAT I CAN SHOW ZAMBIANS WHAT I CAN DO TO COWARDS. MULAFULAFU AND RUEBEN COME ON GUYS. SATA CHOLA BOYS . AM WORKING ON YOUR NGO’S .TO BE DEREGISTERED SOON AS YOU ARE DOING THINGS CONTRARY TO WHAT YOUR NGO’S ARE REGISTERED TO DO. MAYBE YOU CAN FORM THE RIGHT ONES AND DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.I AM ENJOYING THE SHOW.EVEN IF MMD LOOSSSEEEE ORWINDSUP TODAY I WILL CHANGE OVERNIGHT AND JOIN PF. EVEN SATA WAS UNIP, THEN MMD. THEN PUDD AND NOW PF…….
Whats better
1. A sure cut from FTJ’s $8 metre ( say 50% thus a cool $4 metre ) and Kafupi gets his $4 metre or 2. promises of manna or heaven from Sata? s tupid zambians dont be dulllll. This is real money and its there in the Zamtrop ac.
It seems the other Minsiters and MMD MPs are dead. Its only Mike Mulongoti and Shikapwasha defending RB. Felix is busy with Asian investors. What is goin on ama men and women in MMD. Has the watch stopped ticking?
Somebody tell, where did Kafupi get the $8.5 m. What other business did he do? I was told that Kafipi was a just a call boy before he sudenly turn from ragges to riches??
Investiagator,
This is where your understanding of the fantasy world is very vivid.You do not need the entire Government power structure diverted and preoccupied on vacuous failures merely hallucinating for the given money as for hire mercenaries. What these mercenaries are doing are acts of aberration to preoccupy the MMD administration from performing so that they have nothing to campaign on but alas all their schemes have been stripped and well tract .MMD has technocrats and seasoned politicians with skills for counter operations.Two officials and auxiliary machinery instead of entire administration are enough to make these fanatics find their mercenary assignments against the country and its citizens extremely costly and painful yet with limited gains.Watch the space.
number 98 i really doubt if you are above 12 years old.
Democracy means that people should express themselves when agreived, no wonder this govt wasnt voted into power by those who can think.. the govt is very far from the people it is supposed to rule hence you see such a situation;; things will not change
#98 Mambala abwela. He sounds like somebody who has been brainwashed and was in the valleys of the Talibans.
Rupiah should hand power to Chiluba, its like he has failed to rule the country on his own .I dont know where i will join from i want where there will be police officersso that if they pick 1 i shall be the first one
Empty tins are graduating into empty drums. No comment all the same.
Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani
Government has maintained that the law will take its course on any person trying to destabilize the peace of other members of the public.
Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani says there is need for people in the country to desist from activities that are likely to disturb and bring confusion in the country.
*** Frankly this statement is destabilising the country, can the police please lock up this destablising minister as he is disturbing my peace, frankly I find him disturbing and confusing! ***
Hahahahahahah….MMD-thieves are running mad now. Too childish in their heads.
Well Magani is right it is a offence but not a serious one that is why some of the other who were arrested paid the guilt of admision. . Lets see how resilved the drivers of this cause are. Are they willing to walk the talk????
I totally agree. Mangani should arrest all the minibus drivers for the unnecessary honking and whitsling. I am fed up of them.
NEWS FLASH, Marriage caravans streaming through the streets honking horns Or cheering Chipolopolo fans honking horns will be arrested. It is an offence in Zambia. LOL
…unless if you are honking for RB ka?
Please enlighten us on the honking slated for Friday. What time will it start? You will hear the sound of my Vuvuzela from here!!!!!
WHEN I LIVED OVERSEAS, I THOUGHT I GOT THE RIGHT PICTURE OF THE SITUATION BACK HOME (ZAMBIA) BASED ON “NEWSPAPER” REPORTS. ALAS! I WAS VERY WRONG. WHAT I HAD NOT KNOWN WAS THAT THERE IS AFTER ALL NO ONE PRIVATE OBJECTIVE MEDIA OUTLET IN ZAMBIA, EXCEPT THOSE THAT CLAIM TO BE BUT SERVE THE INTEREST OF THEIR BENEFACTORS BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE. I HAVE NOTED A GOOD NUMBER OF BLOGGERS (ESP IN DIASPORA) ARE UNFORTUNATELY IN A SIMILAR SITUATION “INFORMED” OR “MISINFORMED”, AND THEREFORE HAVE EXTREM VIEWS (RIGHTLY SO). ZAMBIANS ARE CURRENTLY MORE CONCERNED ABOUT ADVANCING THEMSELVES AND ULTIMATELY THE COUNTRY AND NOT THE NOISE MAKING, EXCEPT FOR A FEW WHO SPECIALISE IN “POLITICAL NOISE MAKING”. I URGE ZAMBIANS TO AVOID WASTING THEIR PRECIOUS TIME AND WORK HARD. VIVA ZED!
” Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani says there is need for people in the country to desist from activities that are likely to disturb and bring confusion in the country. ”
Like taking bribes so the now foreign owned mines won’t have to pay taxes to the government, for instance? So there isn’t enough money for healthcare and education?
Now that is what disturbs me.
Yep! We honk unnecesarrily during weddings and blow the Vuvuzelas unnecessarily after a soccer match and no one gets arrested for disturbing the peace. And now we are being told by baMangani ( a very apt name meaning tie them/it up or arrest them ka) suggests that we are law breakers. Maybe the police sirens when some fellas are traversing our streets shud also be declared a public nuisance warranting a jail term. By the way, just to digress a bit I SEE NO SENSE IN GOING TO HONOUR SOMEONE IN HIS SITTINGROOM AND HE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE THE ACCOLADE, TALK ABOUT TIME WASTING……………

Mangani is a memmber of the Banda family tree. Look at the people sarounding Banda.
These people are abrogating the constitution BECAUSE “In the exercise of the power to give directions to the Director of
Public Prosecutions conferred by clause (7) of Article 56, the
Attorney-General shall not be subject to the direction or control of any
other person or authority” AND “In the exercise of the powers conferred on him by this Article, the
Director of Public Prosecutions shall not be subject to the direction or
control of any other person or authority” “in the
exercise of his powers in relation to that case, act in accordance with any
directions of the Attorney-General.”
Useful info. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by accident, and I am stunned why this twist of fate did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
