Business in Mongu normal, as Government describes BNC resolutions as illegal

Share

Business in Mongu has gone on as usual and undisturbed a day after delegates to the just ended two day Barotse National Council meeting proposed a break-away of Western Province from the rest of the country.

A ZNBC news crew that went on a spot check of businesses in Mongu found operations going on smoothly with all people going about with their daily chores.

And Western Province Police Commissioner Fanwell Siandenge has urged people in the region to avoid being lured into actions that may bring them in conflict with the law.

Mr Siandenge has told ZNBC news in Mongu that the situation has remained normal and that police officers will remain alert at all times to ensure law and order prevail.

He also cautioned people against issuing any statements that may be at variance with the law.

Mr. Siandenge says there is no need for excitement among people because all resolutions at the just ended Barotse National Council have NO effect on the existing laws.

And Calls for the secession of Western Province will not be entertained because the proposal is treasonable.

And the government will not allow the creation of a state within a state and any act to divide the country on tribal lines will attract the wrath of the law.

This is the reaction of the Minister of Home Affairs following resolutions announced on Tuesday at the end of a two day Barotse National Council meeting in Mongu.

Kennedy Sakeni also declared the resolutions of the two day meeting by the Barotse National Council as illegal and urged the people behind it to stop pushing the matter.

    • Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any iseuss with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

  1. let them go if they dont want to be with us.i have been longing to divorce my lozi wife,shes too talkative,i think this will be a chance mweee.

  2. This is the best news so far. That means Bembas will continue ruling Zambia for ever. Every good bemba should celebrate

  3. Am from western and i can tell you now that most of the characters are such dull and shallow-minded with no foresight of what they are getting themselves into. Well they can have the worst province in Zambia for themselves. No one will be hurt

  4. number #3 you are fooli.sh….yes bembas ar good at acting porn…we hv seen pipo going to court you idi.ot without manners :x

  5. Imwe bantu – are you commenting on the story OR you are now so tired of the issue that you have nothing to say – but again because you are used to talking too much you feel you have to say something even if it is useless. Ma-rubbish!

  6. I should just commend Government, espeically the law enforcement officers with the professional way they have handled this otherwise very provocative situation. We all should recall events of January 14 2011 which the MMD brutally thwarted. These same resolutions were epxected to be passed and the MMd did not want to hear of them. I also need to urge our very intelligent brothers from Barotse to take into account the existing laws of the land and not incite ordinary people into something that will result in them getting hurt. The Ngambela, Sinyinda was Deputy Minister 6 months ago, Liato, the cash crop farmer was Minister, Lungwangwa, Mabenga.
    Have all these political heavy weights just realised not that they need to secced or are tryign to use the people???? People only want peace, bread

  7. hmm selfish chaps if I was married to a lozi chap this would have been the perfect time to divorce her….oops thinking aloud…kekekekeke

  8. @chitapi meno, kekekekeke so u thot this thing wil go anywhere, mr educated u didn’t ansa me wat year fest degree at unza was coz unza daz nt offer a degree in statistics mwansakabinga iwe wabe t

  9. The economic belt of the declarants leaves much to be desired to begin with. Second thought is how retirees posing as ngambelas are trying to carve themselves jobs in the name of creating a state. Where were they when they reaped all the gleanings of the copperbelt and Lusaka where they spent the first 75% of their lives?

  10. GRZ had to let the dogs my brothers and sisters and not forgetting my cousins out to discuss this issue………..otherwise they where just joking…it is One Zambia One Nation

  11. why should the people of mongu panic ? the ball is in governments hands, let them play the game ,.threats wont work and this monister wont die a naturally death.

  12. AM THUMBUKA AND TODAY I SAY LET NO BEMBA LOZI OR TONGA COMMENT PLEASE. you guys are always arguing over nonsense. LOZI women are beautiful, don’t hate I shall not be stopped from dating or even marrying one, my Tonga bothers we fight together against the re-alignment of itezi tezi and the other district. My bembas use one of your proverbs or shut up or you shall never have a president in state house. SATA is not Bemba. Kaunda Malawian, Chiluba congolese. Banda eastern by affiliation. Mwanawasa was the first real Zambian president and probably the best.

  13. The BNC are not responsible enough going by the way they have carried themselves.They haven’t announced these resolutions in responsible and intelligent manner. I’m Lozi but I can’t trust those Idi Amins..

  14. correctornox, you are not the only one. This is a good excuse to kickout our Lozi for nothing wives.

    Bravo BNC.

  15. Mary my sister Amen. We shall support you our wise LOZI brethren against these power hungry chiefs. We shall also fight “tribal” rants from any LOZI, BEMBA or TONGA illiterate, for we are kingdom groups not tribes as Europeans deemed this phrase. All people groups have KAPONYAS, as evidenced on LT.

  16. @ Correctornox and PF WINE MAKER, you two couldn’t get a LOZI woman even if she was paid; I bet even gay men refuse you hahahahaha. Weak men always try to act macho and diffuse their lack on women. Moving on.

  17. So lozis u have been warned…dont push you luck…the fact that ZP allowed u to gather for a braai does’t mean you need to pick a piece of paper and start looking in a dictitionary for big words that are meaningless. If u want to form a political party like UNDP for Tongas and HH, by all mean do that… and see far you go… You have shown your true colors.. We will NEVER have a LOZIS OR TONGA president in Zambia until Yesu comes. We need to manage you two loose canonies.

    • Stacey, thank you for taking the time to sumibt your thorough comments. If possible, please join us in person or by teleconference for the legislative meeting on Wednesday, November 16 see details on this website. We appreciate your interest and input.

  18. Its a pity to see our the youth are busy tribalising on these sites, these tribal insults will cost the nation at large!! Anyway our Lenje president was da best among all the presidents, Lenje pipo are the owners of this land.. Sobene chishi!!!

  19. When Sata comes back,he must show these selfish Lozis what powers the President has.Actions must be taken,inorder to set an example for all stupid and selfish tribes if there is any apart from these people from sand.This is treason,causing some silly alarming in the country, nonsense.That foolish chief,litunga or whatever they call him,he is silly  more than a monkey.Just because he has that big canoe,he thinks he can say anything foolish…Such kingdoms oh sorry it’s a chiefdom because it’s in another state/country..should stop to exist,Sata abolish that ka chiefdom,so we don’t have another silly situation in future..ONE ZAMBIA,ONE ZAMBIA!

  20. #29 u must be an brainless lozi… That is the truth…No more lozi in GRZ… U guys need to be managed.

  21. Thy shall not live on Kuomboka alone.Where is the Litunga?He has massive investments outside Barotseland.This is the time i wish i was president,i was going to send a crack commando unit with specific instructions to castrate all those ring leaders who appended their signatures to that document of resolutions,castrate yes because there were no women represented.Cowards for life the BNC.

  22. Imwe Bemba stop adding fuel of hatred to a small fire that has burnt out Stop insulting my Lozi brothers. The BA64 has been declared null and void by the Lozi. So this is the end of the issue unless the Litunga has an army he is wasting his time and everyone’s. Now lets start re-assuring those tricky investors from leaving they are probably scared shitless by now.

  23. Maybe we Bembas should curve out Mpika, Kasama and parts of Chinsali and declare our independence. Thats when the Barotse issue will end.

  24. You panafricanist, you are an *****, big fool,imbacile, pig ,dog ,imbwa,stupid. I did not we have pipo in this era who are shallow minded like you self. Napapata we should not have a second person like yourself.otherwise this country would go to dogs
