Speaking during the Mothers Union Lady Day celebration held at St Peters Church in Libala, Lusaka yesterday ,Bishop Njovu said Zambians should be able to exercise their rights by participating in voting during the elections.

The Clergyman also appealed to Zambians to embrace peace ahead of this year’s polls and urged them to condemn violence at all costs saying it was detrimental to democracy.

He said politicians should always preach peace in their campaigns as opposed to inciting the youth to cause anarchy in the country.

The Bishop also condemned opposition political party leaders advocating for gay rights in the country and described the act as barbaric.

And Bishop Njovu warned youths in the country to be careful and avoid being used as tools for fueling violence in this year’s elections.

He said violence during elections did not pay but only created problems which would result in them either ending up in Jail or injured for no reasons.

  2. NO PROPAGANDA WILL STOP THE WIND OF CHANGE,ZAMBIANS WANT CHANGE.
    DONT WASTE YOUR VOTE ON SMALL REGIONAL PARTIES IF YOU WANT CHANGE.
    VOTE SATA AND PF COME 2011.
    BEWARE OF TRIBALISTS WHO JUST WANT TO SPLIT THE VOTE.
    PA BWATOOO AND SATA 2011.

  3. Sure abena Zambia balyonda, just see how hunger can disfigure people, these people are not sick but have no food, not enough food and the president is just watching happily

  4. Paid to rant all sorts of rantings and you call yourself pastor. Malabish!!! Besides, what’s wrong with being gay? Don’t we have individuals have the right to chose who to rock with? What a hypocritical country. No wonder I am prepared to rot in the diaspora!

  6. 2 Academic Worrior,

    PF it is. It is the only alternative to the remaining two neoliberal parties.

  7. Good evening

    You only need to switch on to any Arab TV channel to see that the clergyman’s advice is timely. National peace is not something to be taken for granted. The ballot is definately much better than the bullet. We do not want to experience any political violence in Zambia, so people need to heed the clergyman’s advice and exercise their democratic rights by getting registered and voting.

  8. Please Zambians bear with me, RB gives me money which I use to sponsor my unruly and dull children at Mulungushi University and I use some of it to build myself a house. Its “sebana wikute”. I know I am a fake bishop but need to survive.
