Suspected Patriotic Front (PF) cadres are allegedly invading on private land in Lusaka’s west and are terrorizing land owners.
The cadres have allegedly been grabbing titled land from unsuspecting land owners and demarcating plots for sale.
An affected land owner, Simeon Zyambo told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that the cadres have gone on rampage grabbing any piece of land they can lay their hands on.
Mr. Zyambo, who resides in Livingstone where he is working, said four weeks ago, some cadres invaded his farm plot and told his worker that they had come to take over the titled land.
He said the cadres have since started digging foundations on his plot and have also marked some roads.
He said he reported the matter to Kanyama Police Post and also spoke to Lusaka District Commissioner who gave him one ward official from Kanyama to go and ascertain which people were involved in the scam.
Mr. Zyambo said it was established that it was PF cadres from Ward ten in Kanyama that were selling titled land in Lusaka west.
He stated that upon establishing that the cadres belonged to the ruling party, he went to the PF secretariat but was referred to the party’s Lusaka district office where some district officials intervened in the situation.
He said the situation became quiet for a while and he returned to Livingstone.
But to Mr. Zyambo’s surprise, he received a call from his neighbour telling him that the cadres were back on the farm and were removing roofing sheets from his servant quarters.
He said his worker was not around as he had fled for fear of losing his life at the hands of cadres.
Mr. Zyambo said he immediately phoned Kanyama Police who rushed to the scene but found that cadres had finished removing the roofing sheets and ran away and dropped some of the roofing sheets on the way upon seeing the police.
He said the police managed to retrieve 16 roofing sheets which are currently at Kanyama Police Post.
Mr. Zyambo explained that he travelled from Livingstone to Lusaka on Thursday only to receive a report that the cadres had now razed down his house completely.
He appealed to the PF leadership to stop the cadres from terrorizing citizens in the country saying they were tarnishing the image of the ruling party.
And PF Lusaka Province Chairperson Geoffrey Chuumbwe warned that the ruling party will not shield anyone involved in criminal activities.
Mr. Chuumbwe cautioned cadres against engaging in criminal acts.
He called on PF members who may be involved in such illegal acts to stop forthwith adding that the party will not hesitate to hand over to the police anyone found breaking the law.
He also advised victims of land grabbing to report to his office so that necessary measures can be taken to address the situation.
ZANIS
Animals. Africans will always be laughable. After 49 Years of independence this what we able to achieve. Shame!
Very soon William Banda will join PF and will be back where we started.
That’s why PF is not getting any defectors from opposition. Even if its in power, there’s really little to admire abt it. Its jst uneducated thugs running the show.
Since u reported nothing is happening,just stay by your neighbours place then shot anyone u see digging foundation at your farm .
PF is synonymous to lawlessness, i’m not surprised.
Where are you taking us you permanent fools. You have no respect for private property? What is government position on cadres. Libongani and Jere you fools why are you paid. i thought it is protecting citizens. SHAME on you
Sata’s country!
What is the difference between this and the Zim land invasion?
Cry our beloved country! Thought we would get rid of lawlessness by voting out MMD, little did we know that all politicians are one and the same-crooks! Wouldn’t mind voting for UPND come 2016.
Why is everything about PF, MMD and all. I AM ZAMBIAN, thats some bullshit!! Too much division!!
This is barbaric and retrogressive.No one can support this hooliganism and thuggery.police should act swiftly and arrest these lawbreakers.
My president mr sata does not support this weird behaviour.
My advice 2 the owner of this farm is jst 2 shoot these thugs if they show up again.
What is happening to this lovely country of ours? We only have one Zambia, burn it down and you’ll become refugees in other countries. How can you achieve development with administrators of the country behaving like the scum of the earth?
Cage pastor samu..mastermind of all this invasion of land in lusaka west illegally,.
Sorry Mr Zyambo,anyway thats pf for you.you are going to lose that land,its clear the police will not do anything,that’s y chuumbwe says all people affected should see him..what this means is that he is more powerfull than police.
maybe he also grabed the land in a cadresh way.what goes around comes around.
Dictatorship bears many offshoots, crime should be reported to cadres and not police. PF cadres are a law in themselves. Children of Dictator Sata the supreme law in Zambia is extended to his cadres. Watch this space next year when terror will reign over Zambia.
These so called CADRES ARE NOT ONLY IN PF. WHATEVER PARTY COMES INTO POWER, PEOPLE WILL BE THERE AND THIS CAN ONLY STOP IF A LAW IS MADE TO BAN THIS SO CALLED CADRE THING, WHATEVER IT IS. ONE WONDERS WHERE IT ORIGINATED FROM.
PEOPLE DON’T TELL US THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME U ARE SEEING OR HEARING ABOUT CADRES. EVERY POLITICAL PARTY HAS THEM. NEVERS HAS THEM. HH HAS THEM. PF HAS THEM. EVEN CHIPIMO, IF HE MAKES GOVERNMENT TODAY, YOU WILL SEE HIS CADRES.
“#17 Adage” you are missing the point.The issue is not about the existence of cadres in political parties but the unruly behavior of the cadres.I have friends who have been terrorized by the PF cadres on their farms and yet the Police are no where in spell it for you,BREAK DOWN OF LAW AND ORDER PERIOD!
“#17 Adage” you are missing the point.The issue is not about the existence of cadres in political parties but the unruly behavior of the cadres.I have friends who have been terrorized by the PF cadres on their farms and yet the Police are no where in sight.Let me me spell it for you,BREAK DOWN OF LAW AND ORDER PERIOD!
The days of this Bemba govt by the Bembas for the Bembas are numbered.
Just shoot the *****s dead. That’s the language they understand. Hunt them down and kill them. That is where we are going if PF does not change with its baboon behaviour. WE cannot allow to be terrorised by fellow citizens. This country belongs to us all, nobody has more rights than the other. We will start shooting them. For me if anybody came to do anything on my farm just because they belong to PF, I will go to my own Mafia for help. They will not waste time in killing the *****s. Either PF changes or the country will degenerate into chaos and possible civil war.
PF should put a lush on their dogs…
Since independence ruling party cadres in Zambia are known to be above the law and are untouchable. How can a country go on like this where land is grabbed and allocated unlawfully by criminals who have no regard for the country’s laws? That is why people who believe that Zambia is a failed state have a point.
These cadres are not PF but MMD hungry mobs who have recently joined PF on the basis of the belly.
these animals should learn to have manners..
It is true that its PF but not everybody is bad in PF. Lets hope our boss kabimba wont organise a mob to the police to suport the culprits
It’s not just Lusaka West but Ibex Hill, Unza land, Great East Road, etc! I hope officers from the ZSIS read these blogs so they can report land grabbing activities to the president. Lusaka, and the whole Zambia, look like a shanty compound – no running water, no electricity, no roads, garbage everywhere – what a country!
I have a tract of developed land in Lusaka West, so far no one has tried these shenanigans. Lusaka West has always, as far as I can recall, had a huge security deficit ( been there since the 80’s). Other than increasing the police presence, we need better roads in the area- sometimes when it rains some areas of the roads are so impassable from erosion,creating huge chasms that can not be called pot holes. Being a farming area, you’ld think it would be a a priority to do that. It’s only a matter of time that someone will get hurt or killed as some of the residents in the area are armed for protection. It is vital to avoid that. Please enforce the law and protect the people or they’ll do it themselves which is not ideal.
This is the type that this tin pot INSECURE TRIBAL DICTATOR President Sata wants! Chaos so that he can survive his insecurity.
Now a PF vigilante cadre & Lusaka Chairman called Mr. Chuumbwe is advising law abiding Zambians to report to him what Zambia Police are suppose to handle! Its now terrifying in Zambia. NO ONE FEELS SAFE NOW IN ZAMBIA!
Chuumbwe said, “He also advised victims of land grabbing to report to his office.”
Since when did a PF VIGILANTE called Chuumbwe become a policeman to handle serious crimes in Zambia? Since when were Zambians told to report to SCOUNDREL like Chuumbwe a vigilante?
This is DICTATOR Sata’s s TRIBAL country! We are back to the UNIP autocratic & dictatorial type of ancient government.
Can someone do something before Zambia is destroyed?
I don’t know what Guy Scott will think of this though it is perfectly ok for Sata ’cause that is his way of life anyway…remember Nakawala and Scorpion Kadobi? They were both Sata’s creation!!!! After Lubinda is haunted out, and I believe it is true he must have been advising the opposition guys which intelligent questions to ask in Parliament (which I would also do because most of the opposition MPs questions are laughable to say the least), the dogs will go for Scott so that ka Wynter can now zero in on Sata who is already dead anyway and will obviously voluntarily give in.
These so called land invaders are really spoiling the name of PF, am aware that in some cases they have gone as far as burning houses and seriously terrorising land owners, matero especially is like a failed state, the police know these crooks and they are simply doing nothing. We urge the area members of parliament to intervene together with the police in combating these criminal act, we voted for PF in order to bring sanity to some of these systems of government, but what is happening so far leaves much to be desired, please PF make a change to our lives and get rid of these bad elements in your political ranks
@Shaka and spy chakuti ,u are indeed sick. Y should u involve the President in everythink u spoiled brats. l can’t b suprised if that is happening. 0 these *****s are the same who were in mmd. lf u are born 2day don’t think it has started with pf.
Dat’s the way they survive. When kabimba and the police deal with dem u de same u’l say no democracy.I don’t even know if u kno wat democracy and dictatorship are? Pf we voted 4 u 2 put 2 an end dis evil. Cage those criminals and dnt excite lunatics
Its not Lusaka west only. places like chamba valley, foxdale next to mutumbi cemetery are invaded by PF cadres who are chasing title holders with machets and pangas. the commissioner of Lands has written several letters to the inspector general of police to intervene and protect the rightful owners but the police have not come to the aid of the victims for fear of been fired. Nkandu Luo is one of PF MPs supporting this barbaric acts and has been issuing threats to the officer in charge at chelstone police not to intervene or face dismissal. its a big shame to the police who are un professional and dancing to the tune of these selfish politicians
Kill these mother phakers
Reckless n criminal elements terrorising property owner must be in the same way hyenas are.
Those pf cadres are hyenas in human skin wat a regime! Police cant do anythìng they fear to be fired hence the Break Down of law n Order.
