  1. Haha,this is what you suckers voted for – a semi illiterate,clueless and dictatorial PF Sata’s kleptocracy.Zimbabwe here we come trying to outdo uncle Bob’s lunacy.

  2. This is lawlessness in Zambia at its worst. Its time the Police changed the call out system. When a guy of this stature is required to appear before the police, I think they should revent to unannounced requests to have the subject accompany them to unknown location to record this statement. Get him when there is less drama. At a restuarant, his home or driving on the street.After arriving at the location then permit him to make one call to his lawyer only, who should be driven by police to the location to be present during questioning.

    • Who said the police denied teargassing the cadres? And what about the evidence of those cadres crowding into the police station!  A police station is not a political ground where every Jim and Jack can go and do stupid things. For God’s sake, that’s a police station!!! 

  3. It is sad when people talk of villages and claim they live in ‘town’

    From my end I can only conclude that people living in zambia live in a village and I am in town here in Scotland. How appaling are those pictures!

    Oh my word, I am saddened

    People do not dress well, cars look like in the 50’s I am sorry but Zambia ‘s independence need to be given back to the British.
    They would run this country better

    Thanks

    • @Sense please don’t waste your energy replying to this looney. She(he) doesn’t even deserve the asterisks you used in your sentence, you should have just typed it plainly to drive the point home. 

      She/he is such an attention seeker, I’ve known her to be like that. So the best thing to do is to IGNORE everything she says and DON’T even bother replying to any comments she makes.

    • Mushota is right this time: Zambia is a village ruled by a villager! Look at the state of the “central” or main police station in Lusaka! Fifty (50) years after uhuru. On a serious note, the Government needs to ensure the rule of law in all situtations, including controlling its cadres. This does not mean political harrasment of opposition leaders.

  4. What’s the purope of putting these photos?Ba LT i think we seen enough of HH and his cadres show us something different twa papata.

  5. COME ON BA LT- UNDER 5 ALL THE TIMES. SHOW US THE STANDS AT THE JUST ENDED LUSAKA AGRICULTURE SHOW. AND PLEASE DONT SHOW US THE PRESIDENTS- WE SAW THEM. JUST THE AMBIENCE, THE EXIHITION STANDS, PERFORMING ARTS, ATTENDIES AND STUFF. DO WE HAVE TO ASK YOU. YOU CAN’T THINK FOR YOURSELVES. AND THE WOMAN IN PIX #22 CHIPUBA? IS SHE EVEN MARRIED? DID THE HUSBAND ALLOW TO GO AND PERFORM NONSENSE IN PUBLIC IN THAT FOOLISH MANNER? THANK YOU.

    • what makes you so sure she was there with upnd cadres? This is a police station, all sorts of people go there. Think!

    • I saw that woman performing in the last video i watched stage performance Go and make more sense to your house than waist yowa time  begging people to feel pity for yah.

  6. They are all the same! A while back it was Sata who was going through the same acts with the then MMD government and acting a victim now he is in power its a different story and now today its HH playing the same victim card too. Ala mwalitubelesha kwena. *Fyolad*

  7. EVERYONE please don’t waste your energy replying to #3 chi MUSHOTA. 

    She/he is such an attention seeker, everyone has known her to be like that. So the best thing to do is to IGNORE everything she says and DON’T even bother replying to any comments she makes.

  8. I am missing the nice scent of tear gas from the UNZA days! Abena Fabian Mumba, Arafat, Sefuke, George Chileshe, lumpen Vundamina, RUPO, Pasha, Mr. Kalunga-Banda, Hon Luckson Kazabu etc also played this game when they were ku YUNZA.

    • I remember Lumpen Vundamina…. I had come to visit my brother pa Ruins and I ended up sleeping there. Vundas was drunk that night and he lumpenized like I had never heard before.

  9. upnd ar trying to be copycuts of pf! nganinebo kuti nabaponona, why can’t you originate yo own things,everytime its evn sat en pf did the samething so we can also do to woo…….unfortunately what might have worked for pf en mc may not work hihi and upnd…..sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. Police state indeed.How do you tear gas your owm offices.so how did police oficers work after that dull move.I think bring back Dr Malama..the police cadres are going too far.

  11. I am a pure bantustan from the Gwembe Valley basa, but I think this is not the way we shall get power. We should not have taken such placards to a police station, we need to respect certain institutions like the Police if we have to promote a better Zambia that we seek to rule. No my brother HH, this is way out of what we know you.

  12. Fyakuifwaila when you go with such cloud to police and enter second floor disturbing their work place how do you expect police to react? HH and UPND cadres grow up.

  13. @Himakampa,
    I have never heard of a person who admits to be a Bantustan. Don’t come here with your lies and tricks of satan. You are a Kolwestan!! Go and eat more monkeys in Muchinga where you come from and stop disturbing the good people of Zambia. These sons of Kolwestans are really annoying. Where is your Kolwestan in Chief Michael Sata. Is he is Mozambique yet?

  14. Bet the Upnd cadres deserved to be tear gassed.They were pushing their luck too far.That was playing with fire…making a police station a political ground ? Basop.

  15. Ka HH is a bad omen look what he is causing all just for photos. Ka HH iwe what do you want in politics? I would like to sit down with this under5 boy and tell him to step down and continue in his successful businesses.

  16. Mushota the attention seeker indeed! You portray an identity that is not yours I am sure. You can not see a modern shopping more in the 1st picture (The Levy Junction). I can see a BMW also quite modern and a latest VX Toyota Land Cruiser. Some decent office building in the background. Zambia`s economy has been growing at an average 6% in the last 8 yrs. I hope the PF govt upholds and even improve on this. They should put their act together and stop this confusion.

  17. MUSHOTA’S CONSISTENCY TO STUPIDITY DESPITE ADVICE  PROVES THAT SHE IS SICK .
    SO PLEASE LETS COLLECTIVELY IGNORE THIS MORON.

  18. I hope Zambians learn that CS gas (tear gas) is NEVER used on British or US citizens, except in war situations. Every person who has been exposed to this gas, should seek medical opinion in a proper hospital, not UTH.
    Even the very police officers who fire the canisters are also at risk.
    Chenjelani abale.

  19. Well hang in there as long as your country is blessed with both unexploited and exploited minerals you are rich that way. Zambia is capable of developing itself without begging any nation for donor handouts. Market yourselves by selling your country whereever your go. Put differently, be a Zambian ambassador by being positive about all Zambia aspects i.e. make positive comments everywhere be it on internet, overseas or even in Zambia. Market every product as proudly Zambian. Such little steps go a long way in improving the image of Zambia. Please, Zambians stop hauling insults at other each, admire yourselves and Zambia is your only true home. All Zambians in the diaspora will forever be treated as foreigners no matter how hard they work for host countries. I am born and bread in S.Africa.

  20. @ Ka Maxwell,
    Tear Gas is very dangerous not only to the crowds that its used on but also to the police officers. It has cancer causing agents. Anyone who has been exposed to this needs to see their doctor and then file a lawsuit against the government. These are useless tactics only used in gestapo regimes like Zambia’s PF and its government. Maxwell, how does it feel to be a Kolwestan, always eating monkeys for lunch, Dinner and breakfast. Eating monkies is almost like eating Humans you Kolwestans.

  21. hahahahaha eeee nafwa na laughing! bakapokola balapama. leason learnt here respect the law enforcers or they will enforce it on you. that is central police not southern province. anyway, thats the language dull people understand.

  22. Honestly people,how do you invade the police station with all that nuisance,bullying the officers in their own offices? This is disorderly of the highest kind. Even in developed countries we dont expect that. The victim can simply walk in with their lawyers. I think this is cowardice with attention seeking and any sympathizer should look at this issue objectively and not political bigotry

  23. I have been reading LT for years and I really like Mushota’s analysis. The girl is really intelligent. I think she is really a PhD student and enjoying life in Glasscow. Please Mushota come and get me. I will treat you better than Nick. Your are my angel. I agree with everything you write.

  24. Looks like a lot of tear gas was used. My concern is this might bankrupt the national treasury. Zambia might not be able to recover from this waste.

  25. Why can’t these thugs act like civilized human beings. It’s a lack of education that causes this type of behavior . Zambia if you can’t educate your people then you will end up a vast wasteland after your resources have been plundered by other more intelligent than you . Zambia could be one of the best and strongest nation in the region … But instead people look on it as an easy target. Awe mwandi ….

  26. I thought UPND used to call PF kaponyas. What I am seeing in these picture is the exact opposite. It simply fortifies that UPND is a party of “brainless characters” who have not gone to school. How can you allow cadres with political posters in a police station. The Police reaction was not enough in my oppinion. They should have used extra long button to discipline these cadres and their masters. Fisushi fya n’gombe fyalebomba?

  27. In my small colleguerrrs blogging they have perhaps additional me personally to their webpage moves, yet my service normally is placed in the bottoom belonging to the listing and doesn’t listing when I article as it can for some individuals. Is video setting up when i have got to shift or possibly is video option that they’ve built?

  28. #4 ulicisushi fye iwe we nsamba mutunta bunga,I keep on wondering if for sure you are in Scotland…”Takalaba uko kafuma”,,,late Fr.Mihah taught me this bemba saying.Ulesala ifyakusosa we mbulwa mano weee.I hope you are not one of the plastic British as the owners call you.?

  29. Voting for Sata and his PF members was a mistake but Zambians had no obligation besides voting for this Satana and his people in govnt. Now everyone in Zambia know that PF was not the answer and MMD did way better than PF in the early 90’s. Sata need to step down and let others take over since the guy is too old and cannot rule any country besides Zambia.

  30. IWE KA MUSHOTA. NOT EVERYBODY GREW UP IN SQUALOR LIKE YOU. THERE PEOPLE IN ZAMBIA WHO LIVE A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN YOU.KA KOSWE IWE

  31. Ka Mushota,you are busy openning your cunt in some brothel every minute there and claim to be leading a better life,wekaliule wee!!!

  32. This country will not go anywhere with people like Hakainde in the opposition, Hakainde Economic Terrorist has exhibited total immaturity whose politics is based on hate and tribalism.
    Zambians must be wary of such elements.

  33. THAT WAS JOB WELL DONE BY THE POLICE.

    WHAT RUBBISH WAS THAT TAKING ALTHOSE DIRTY BULLS AT THE POLICE STATION DISTUBING THERE WORK & PEACE & THEN SAY SHII.IIIIIT ABOUT THE PF GVMNT????

    ZP TEMUNOBE!!!!
