The Zambia Police has in collaboration with other security wings launched investigations to establish the authors of a letter from a group calling itself Tongas under Oath which has declared war on Bemba speaking people in southern province.
Acting Inspector General of Police Peter Chingaipe has confirmed the development to QFM News in a statement released this afternoon.
Mr Chingaipe says investigations are aimed at bringing to book the people behind the letter which demanded that all Bembas should leave southern province with immediate effect.
He says authoring such a letter has serious repercussions, and that it is for this reason that the Police have intensified their investigations into the matter.
Mr Chingaipe has assured the nation that no ethnic grouping should be threatened by such acts, as the people of Zambia and any resident of Zambia is free to move or live in any part of the country.
Meanwhile Police in Solwezi have arrested three dangerous criminals and have recovered four stolen motor vehicles.
The trio whose names have been withheld were arrested over the weekend and police recovered two Toyota sprinters, one Toyota spacio and a Toyota collora believed to have been stolen from muchinga, copper belt and southern provinces.
Speaking in an interview to ZANIS, North Western Province commissioner of police Eugene Sibote said two suspects were picked up in Solwezi and one in Ndola adding that the stolen vehicles were painted and turned into taxis by the criminals.
Mr. Sibote said the Toyota spacio was stolen in Ndola, collora in Choma and sprinters in Mkushi and Kapiri Mposhi respectively.
And a mechanic of a named garage in Solwezi where the stolen vehicles were painted from has also been picked up to help the police with investigations.
Mr Sibote said the cartel spans from copper belt to North Western province and has explained that more arrests will be made has the police closes in.

Hahahahaha…. fools… this is from PF, go for GBM and Sakeni.
This is just a ploy to victimize and jail Tongas in large numbers. What more with the numerous threats issued regularly by the minister of defence against citizens who are appalled by the mediocre leadership.
You should start by arresting the editors for alarming the nation. Ba buju naimwe use your common sense coz this will not yield any result. remember the Barotse similar nonsense orchestrated by the state. This is the same nonsense. The Great Bag of Maize should be investigated too.
Tonga under what? We will smoke you from you holes like rats. Muunya, thats treason you have commited. Once smoked out, you will regret the rest of you life
This is what happens when you retards in government. Scared of their promises to the people.
This is what happens when you have retards in government. Scared of their promises to the people.
Whether you have a retard government in place, its no reason to threaten others with death becuase they come from the largest speaking group in the country. How many tongas have migrated into Bemba speaking areas. Nobody has ever harrassed them. We all need to embrace divergent views and not only expecting the PF to accept your views and you do not want to accept theirs. Its very unfortunate for people like you who claim to be civilised.
Revolution starts now.
PF should be careful, they will cause a civil war with these Zero option tactics of the UNIP/Sata era. No Tonga in their right mind would do such a thing. Bemba’s should not be scared to engage in intellectual discussions. It is healthy for the country.
Beribers are fools how can u believe such bullshit from gbm and his dull friend sakeni!
We live in a complicated world nowadays. Stop and think a little bit. What would stop an external enemy from writing such a murderous document? Zambians are very often viewed as too proud and boastful. Recently our president made a statement to the effect that if some of our neighbors want to fight then we zambians will just have to accomodate them as refugees in our country. Wouldn’t such comments make others feel hurt and wanting to somehow get back at us. I just hope that those investigating this case will do so with an open mind. One more thing: Tongas and Bembas have allowed themselves to become a weakness in Zambia’s wellness and security.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SECURITY WINGS TO FIND THESE CHAPS AND DEAL WITH THEM RUTHLESSLY! ZAMBIA IS A UNITARY STATE AND ANY FORM OF ANARCHY IN THE NATION MUST NEVER BE TOLERATED AS IT CAN BE A RECIPE FOR CIVIL WAR.
GOVERNMENT ON THE OTHER HAND NEEDS TO BE TOLERANT WITH DISSENTING VIEWS HARNESS THEM COLLECTIVELY FOR IMPROVED ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. PURSUING POLITICAL ENEMIES OR OPPONENTS, ALWAYS BRINGS CHALLENGES.
I THOUGHT WE LEARNT LESSONS FROM THE KAUNDA ERA. H.E. MCS MUST CHILL!!!!!! BUT WHERE IS THE CHURCH IN ALL THIS?
AH? IS THIS STORY TRUE? GOD WILL SOON EMBARRASS SOMEBODY VERY SOON.WHO EVER IS PLAYING THIS GAME SHOULD REPENT.
You can never run out of retards in this Zambian government…oh wait there must have been a convention led by one of them who convinced the fellows that once they vote him to statehouse he’ll make sure the country exports retardation.
Useless party led by u know who
The victimization of Tongas by Bembas as I envisaged has just began. For no reason innocent sons and fathers will be persecuted by these banyamulenge clansmen. Tongas can never be threatened. Hingombe tokongwi kuli himpongo. I want to urge my brothers and sisters to stand strong. We knew we will be persecuted like the Jews for not voting for useless Bemba govts. This is the worst leadership this country has ever produced. This does not surprise some of us. Zambia without the Tonga voice would be another Katanga failed state. The contribution Tongas have made to this country are enormous. Tulachibweza nochilema nobasankwa!
Ubuwelewele….is this the freedom people sing about? Human rights…awe this is total madness tantamount to treason.This is becoming rediculous,disgusting,these cheeky monkeys whom do they think they are.Let the law visit them adequately then imbulwa mano shikambe ukulila…cimbwi aitile impashi awe shamububa..
Let the Tonga’s start the war they will be castilated by Bemba’s like their cows. And honestly speaking Tonga’s are so dumb, have you seen a Tonga coming from southern province getting off a bus at intercitybus station, have u noticed how they look? They look completely lost, besides Most Tonga’s stinck amafi ya n’gombe because most of them in ba kachema. And if u wanna do b.i.t .c.h.s go to southern province there b.i.t.c.h.s at Tuta’s enough of them.
f.u.c.k your mum
Bembas are naturally envious and jealousy of Tongas. An inferiority complex so overwhelming. Southern Province has by far more resources, far developed than Luapula and Northern put together. We all need Southern, who needs Luapula and Northern? Just full of kabwalalas
Is this the Peter Chingaipe we used to hear about when we were kids?
Ba Police, find out which bembas were murdered first. If there is non, then the whole story is a lie. Just pursue criminals in solwezi. How can a terrorist claim responsibility before the victims are known? This tonga bemba thing is becoming boring.
I love my tonga wife and will not leave her because of politics. She votes UPND and I vote PF. In 2016 she will vote HH and I will vote GBM and we dont call each other names coz its just politics.
The Police are merely chasing for ghosts in wilderness. The birth place of such tribal sentments is Kasama Central where GBM, with the approval of President Sata, declared that Kasama was a no-go area for non-Bembas. Apparently, this gimmick may have originated from GBM’s corridors just to find a reason to implicate the Tongas. Whoever could have travelled extensively in Zambia will know that the Tongas are the most peaceful peoples in Zambia. Therefore, the Police and other Security wings should take a professional stance and pin-down the real instigator of falsewoods. This investigation must include BGM’s claims of assination plot on President Sata.
security wings have already indicated that gbm authored the letter,the question is can police arrest their god mwamba?
Just visit Watch dog and you will agree that their language is that of eliminating Bembas. Watch dog has fueled up this plan of turning Zambians against the Bembas. They always preach hatred against Bembas, so they can do what is reported. I have no doubt coz their main aim is to in state house by all means. Very sad indeed.
Dont judge all tongas based on two jounelist at Watchdog. Also not all bloggers at ZWD are tongas, some just enjoy to post stu.pid comments just to fuel the tension, pretending to be either Bemba or Tonga. I dont believe that 98% of blogers on LT or ZWD are either Bemba or Tonga. Other people from other tribes have taken sides so that they can enjoy seeing these two tribes hurt each other. But for me I still love my tonga wife though I will vote for GBM in 2016
Mwiponta Mukabwela @ #14: Tekanya Ng’anga ikusange. State House grounds are full of ba “mumbwe”. Those who claim to be staunch supporters of President Sata must scrutinise State House ceilings, walls, surrounding trees and grasses to detect the presence of hidden wolves geared to overthrow Sata’s regime.This is an internal battle within PF but they want to accuse HH to hide their real motives. It will be naive to ignore the root-causes of sudden outbursts and jostling for PF’s Presidency as being generated by GBM and Sakeni within less that 12 months of PF’s 5-year term in govt. In the light that Sata is programmed to run his govt up to 2016, why is GBM vigorously campaigning for the top job at this ealy hour?
The Bible says those who live by the sword will die by the sword. This tribalism issue will hurt PF more than UPND, those both will be losers in this fight. Mark my words.
This is a false story. I dont think Tongas who are also Zambians and deserve to live happily in Zambia can author such a letter. GBM is a prime suspect for me.Then Sakeni then Silvia Masebo Tembo Malupenga Kabimba she has such a long name this Silvia. yaba.
And I love Tonga women, My wife is Tonga, perfect Lady. So stop this nonsense
How do you go hunting for yourselves. Ridiculous how some people think the country belongs to children.
This could be the work of someone in PF trying to detract attention from the failures of their promises. I believe the police and the other security wings are professional enough and they will find the real culprits. Zambians should desist from such foolish tactics because they could plunge the country into chaos. Learn from what happened in Rwanda.
We speak the blood of Jesus over Zambia, no evil shall prevail in Zambia may the Lord expose all the roots of wickedness trying to come to our nation, in the name of Jesus you will be put to shame Psalm 35.
A Tonga man can’t even kill a house fly except ukuthombiza only. Let then try and we shall see who is stronger between the two. Bacheepa sana..!!!
Ba kabwaa……………………!!!
This is ridiculous! PF trying to create division in Southern Province. That is such a low standard!
I believe avoiding refined foods is the first step to be able to lose weight. They will taste very good, but refined foods possess very little nutritional value, making you take more simply to have enough strength to get through the day. When you are constantly consuming these foods, transitioning to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more strength while consuming less. Interesting blog post.
Normally I don’t read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.
ok so i lost my cheap 10 greenback bogus set of two that might look like these… so today i went along to sunglass hut since i have received funds and rain forest is not going to consider funds… and i experimented with these set of two on, and was pretty astounded, while i was able to have the drastically wrong set of two, i shoulda got petrol cell’s.
