Inspector General of Police Francis Kabonde has strongly warned that police will not hesitate to deal with anybody who will attempt to cause confusion at this years Kuomboka traditional ceremony in Mongu on Saturday.
Mr. Kabonde says six hundred police officers have already been dispatched to Mongu to ensure that the traditional ceremony of the Lozi people is held in a peaceful manner.
He told ZNBC news that the Zambia Police Service has instituted investigations into the source of intimidating flyers being circulated in Western Province ahead of the Kuomboka traditional ceremony.
Mr. Kabonde explained that preliminary investigations have revealed that its only a few disgruntled people who want to cause confusion.
He warned that the culprits will be arrested and prosecuted.
Mr. Kabonde wondered how some people can be planning to cause confusion when the Kuomboka traditional ceremony attracts a number of tourists who earn the country foreign exchange.
Yesterday Mr Kabonde assured would be patrons to the ceremony that the Kuomboka will be held in a peaceful atmosphere.
He said six hundred police officers have been deployed to provide security during the ceremony.

So your interest is foreign exchange. Six hundred policemen, for what? We’ll meet in the battle field.
This does not make sense Mr IG, just a stone throw away from Police HQ to Inter City there was confusion and you decided to remain mute, what nonsese is this of sending Police Officers to Mongu?? Our Lozi counterparts have been holding these ceremonies for many years without the help of bapombozi, or Buju, what has happened now??? Anyhow, what is happening in North Africa will surely come to Zambia and I can guarantee you, there is absolutely nothing our Police Officers can do. You have seen other forces with quality equipment failing to contain people’s power, now you guys with expired teargas, what are you going to do?? My advise to you Kabonde is that you should start preparing your Katundu because this year, you’re surely going to the farm where you grow impwa. Mambala.
This cadre is just scared because his party member Red Lips who justified the Mongu killings is not wanted in Mongu.Neither is Vasco da Bwezani wanted.
Nyamasoya cant go to a ceremony where they wear red berrets,he thinks it is Father Frank Bwalya’s campaign people or PF members.
It’s good that SATA the great is not going there.
VOTE SATA AND PF.
Welcome to LT #1 Ba Mwandama,
More amputees and 2 funerals at Kumboka kwa Balotzi, 600 police deployed to protect just George Kunda? Those innocent people can only be saved by presence of President Sata.
Instead of preventing violence the police are actually involved in violence. Kobonde kuya bebele!!!

BWANA KABONDE YOU HAVE MISERABLY FAILED AS A POLICE CHIEF…….YOUR INTEREST IS TO PROTECT YOUR JOB, AS YOU CONFESSED WHEN YOU FACED THE PARLIAMENTALY COMMITTEE…….YOUR HAVE THROWN YOUR PROFESSIONAL ETHICS TO THE WIND……..MMD CADRES HAVE BEEN CAUSING CONFUSION HERE AND THERE BUT YOU HAVE FAILED TO CONTAIN THEM, LEAVING THE OPPOSITION TO DEFEND THEMSELVES……….YOUR COLLEGUES IN KENYA ARE CURRENTLY FACING THE ICC IN THE HAGUE FOR PROMOTING VIOLENCE……..SO BWANA KABONDE DON’T PRETEND THAT YOU ARE NOW SERIOUS WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU AS A TOOTHLESS ‘BULL DOG’
You are very foolish Kabonde…..no amount of intimidation will stop the wind of change in Barotseland, your sending of stupid police to barotseland will just turn kuomboka into a battle field……Down with the MMD regime !!!! Down with RB !!!!!…you have killed us already, you have shed enough blood in our land you foreigners, our hearts still bleeding and you want to cerebrate,,,,,what a deadly mistake….a deadly mistake indeed. We will meet !!!!
Am sure will win the battle, coz the number of civilians has out numbered the police officers.. if they are 1,000, we are 2,000,000.
so 2,000,000 – 1,000 = 1,999,000 civilians remaining…
Uum 600 leg harvestors! Let’s hope your mission will be succesful. I expect each one of the cops to harvest at least 10 legs. This will translate into 6000 Barotse amputees. Anything less than this wont be Mission Accomplished! Come RB show them Barotse whose boss! Boma ni Boma! Long live Kumawa! Long live RB!
