I look forward to my returning home and joining fellow citizens in mourning the departed and comforting the wounded, ” read the statement

“Let me say that irrespective of our differences, violence and bloodshed are never effective tools for resolving any conflict. We must take lessons from today’s unfortunate incident in order to avoid today’s bloody experience from repeating itself. As a party in power, we must support the police and other law enforcement agencies to work at bringing the perpetrators of this bloodshed to justice.”

“Lastly, I appeal to all our people, within and outside PF, to look at peaceful ways of resolving any differences we may have. Let us all work towards healing the wounds opened up by today’s clashes. Let us commit ourselves that we will never re-open these wounds again. Let us all forge healing and remember that Zambians expect us to deliver. Our unity is the best support we can give President Michael Sata in order for him to deliver development”.

  1. Unfortunate and sad. How can this be? This has never happened before that within the same party life should be lost this way. GBM and Kabimba are injury free, happy and tossing and turning in their beds with their wives at their homes while their cadres are fiercely fighting on their behalf. We need to wake up as Zambians and do the needful in 2016

    • This is way over the top!!! NO, NO, NO NOT in Zambia please!!! Sata will end up the most unpopular President Zambia has ever had… surely how can this be?? if yesterday was such an important day on the PF calender of laying a foundation stone of 360 million US dollar KK internation airport, then why fight and kill each other instead of rejoicing??… this is insane!!!

    • In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind the devil manifesting in violence that has led to lose of life!! Devil, I bind you and I plead the blood of Jesus and declare that Zambia shall always remain an oasis of peace grounded in Christian brotherly love for how good it is when the brethren dwell in unity!!

    • While, sad indeed that our brothers have taken the root of killing each other within the party (PF). I think that these actions confirm to some degree that the PF cadre who died in L/Stone was killed by the fellow PF cadres, the one who died in Rufunsa was equally butchered by PF, in Mufumbwe and Maybe at Pemba also. These actions confirm this is a violent party, and not the opposition killing those who lost their lives in the above mentioned.
      GBM is the sole person causing these infights using his wealthy. He is also new to PF compared to Kabimba, so GBM must stop using his money to fund violence. Wynter is also to some extent to blame over this violence. It takes Sata to show leadership to resolve the in-fightings, he must support either Wynter or GBM and direct cadres to respect that.

    • PF on PF is proof enough that this is a party of THUGS. Who is PF going to blame now?Each group appears to have been handsomely sponsored by their handlers and ably armed to KILL. This is not only a shame, but very scary for the future of this country. There’s always war talk on Sata’s lips and Kabimba is even worse, so what would one expect from their followers? I just hope we are not having a pinch of 2016…

    • police are saying only one person died, but from the statement yaba GBM he accounts for more than one person, “My prayers go out to families who have lost their loved ones following today’s regrettable intra-party violence. ” Police bikeni data yachine,how many have died?

    • St. Jude, this must be your first visit on the Zambian blogs. We have been asking why for as long as these People Fighting (PF) wrangles have been going on. Finally we got tired of asking why; and so we made our own conclusion which no one has ever been, and ever will be able to disprove: incompetence bakateka. Kwamana.

    • Foolish Zambians, losing your life over Winter Kabimba sure! Learn to negotiate and dialogue, violence is barbaric and pointless.

    • Oh ja? Wist ik niet goed om te weten normaal gezien gebruik ik water melon maar ik zat op Kantoor, het was niemand gewoon mijn hoofd.

  2. You are even quick to release a media statement as if you are innocent when in fact you are the one behind these irrational and illogical demonstrations that have resulted in loss of life.

    Do not take advantage of poverty and engage young people to slaughter each other for your selfish political ambitions.

    Why don’t you put your bad cholesterol out on the battle front?

    • Ba LT, the title should read “intra-party” not “inter-party.” Intra means within a set whereas inter means between two or more different sets (items) under consideration. We still love you Ba LT and many thanks for the info that you provide us with.

    • Ba President you have failed! Call a press conference and say that GBM has been removed from PF…It is better to remain poor but with dignity….Let GBM go with his money your excellency. He can go and form his party with his thugs.

  3. A part and government of f_o0-ls from top to bottom. Then M’mebe and his Post will try and absolve the President of responsibility and look for a scapegoat. The President has been given more than ample chance to show leadership and crack the whip- but no Sara seems to be a spectator- effectively making him part of the problem. 2016 kuya bebele ba kolwe.

  4. None of our so called leaders in government or in the opposition are worth dying for. I have no sympathy for these muppets who see it fit to split their heads for selfish and corrupt “leaders” like GBM and Kabimba.

    As for Sata, I think it is time he showed serious leadership skills.

  5. Everybody saw this coming except PF,they are looking in the rear view mirror of Ubwato as they paddle towards Victoria Falls. PF self destruct yourselves and leave Zambia out of it.

    • Authority you have made my day. Rear mirror? When heading towards Vic Falls. You will plunge and die. So PF heading for graveyard

    • Sata has been a hooligan for most of his life …., the time he was in Unip, MMD and now the party he leads does this!!! And the guy is ndwii? it is not surprising -it was to be expected 🙁

    • @Question Authority..

      Hahaha you have cracked my ribs…heading for Victoria Falls….that’s the way to bury themselves.

    • @ Enka, You are spot on. PF is ugly in more ways than one; ugly people, hard-hearted people, tribalists, violent people, foul-mouthed people, corrupt people, etc.

  6. The PF has no room and relevance in our country now. This party is an enemy of Zambia. I wish it can be disbanded for the good of the country!

  7. Did you make any arrests madam officer?…this has gone on to far. someone needs to rein in these bastards. I have a lot of friends who came from war torn countries.. Believe me it’s not pretty and they will tell you the same thing; it always starts with stupid cadres running around with machetes , then everyone else feels the need to arm themselves. Mr president what the hell? I used to respect you man.. You need to can these fools before it blows up in your face.

  8. I am seeing more danger ahead if this violence continues and spills over into the compounds. Militias don’t wear any uniforms and many innocent people will be hacked in the crossfire.

  9. “I have learnt of today’s violence with the deepest sorrow. My prayers go to out to families who have lost their loved ones following today’s regrettable intra-party violence.so it is true that the number of deaths is ten (10) not one (1) Gbm has said it. Please people of zambia we are one sharing our mother zambia let us love each and every zambian.

    • GBM shouldn’t just say it, he should act it. Why do you need panga weilding young men to attend ground breaking ceremony? Chain these young men. Stop them for
      heaven’s sake. I once told a colleague, if you teach a child to insult and beat up a neighbour, the same child won’t think it’s wrong to fight and insult a member of his own family and the next one will be you, the parent! PF leadership, take heed. Now the children are fighting amongest themselves after beating up HH in Northern Province. The next one will be you!

  10. if this movie involved upnd,by now hh would be at mukobeko prison.chanda kabwe(former c/belt chairman) and sunday chanda(open society foundation) would be on findeco building also busy condemned hh.the Post would write an encyclopedia about hh trying to paint him black..

    • This is very true my brother,when i heard about this incidence ,i checked on postzambia online,i thought there would something like breaking news “10 people feared dead in a crush involving PF carders” ,and if it was HH, this would have been news all over.Even Sata would have already issued a statement by now.

  11. LT journalists study English. This is NOT inter party violence but intra violence. Yaba!!!! Only PF is involed.

    • Imwe ba conman that insult is directed at God the creator. What she has you dont have e.g she is a graduate and tell us your level of education. You may just be a taxi driver or perhaps somebody strugglin to earn a living. No body is ugly

    • Iwe ZP who says ati when one has a degree then they cannot be ugly? Stop fantasizing that NO BODY is ugly, then this means ati EVERBODY is beautiful…

  12. I can’t believe this those funding this rubbish must be punished where is the head of state for sure, how on earth does he alow this nocence it’s time he shows leadership no people must not take advantage of the youths who are unemployed and how does the out side people and potential investors look at us lets not alow us country to sink so low

  13. These PF criminals and thugs. You are killing one another while Kabimba and GBM are busy sipping Johnnie Walker Blue Label. When two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers….PF thugs

  14. Sata cant do without blood shed. Let us unite and free ourselves from clutches of PF. They came to KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY

    • Nevers Mumba said ” MCS enjoys confusion and LOVES to rule not to govern in confusion and he is the father of confusions going on in the country and his PF led goverment”, Mumba was picked up by ZP for issuing such a statement which he was to be charged for defaming or disparaging the president.
      Was Pastor Mumba wrong in his statement??????? Lets judge??????

  15. Why should one die for the great bag of maize or the A team? It is because these pf fights have become a source of income to the idle pf ordinary cadres.

  16. Where poverty and unemployment are high its expected. Look at this at bigger picture. Pf is not tolerating its cadres’ controlling of markets,bus stations and illegal occupation of other pipo’s land.Hence cadre’s demonic anger.feel 4 pf please.

  17. Does our president have advisers this violence and street vending making towns very dirty now are making him very unpopular very day and killing his party which him kapimba and Scort worked so hard to make into what it is now people with selfish agender want to destroy it all because of money

    • It was not Kabimba who worked hard to build PF. This is a myth from Fred Mmembe. The People who built PF are Chimumbwa and Edward Mumbi. Don’t falsify history.

  18. Now the Punch Fighters (PF) are at odds against each other, killing one another if need be. I can foresee a situation where one day, those punch ups shall be between GBM and Kabimba, the President and his vice and so on as the symbol goes. By the way, is there any discipline in the Punch Fighters (PF) party ?

  19. I know where this violence is coming from.Have you wondered why the so called A team(You know the 3 f.00ls)why do they sing our National Anthem with clenched fists.What I know is that we are supposed to stand at attention while singing.Someone please BAN PF.

  20. My prayers go to out to families who have lost their loved ones following today’s regrettable intra-party violence.

    From the statement above it seems not only one life was lost. GBM and Winter whatever you are aiming at it will not come to pass. Time is such a great thing which people must come to respect. PF has in the past been pointing a figure at other parties as being violent, yet it is them who are brutal. Look at Livingstone, Petauke and other towns during by elections, it has been PF behind violent behavior . Police you have been watching this cancer grow soon it will be out of your scope to control, do something before it is too late. Our police the problem you also act like cadres, Jere recall how you talked to Chikwelete and protected him a few months ago & this is on record.

  21. So even the deaths recorded during the past by elections were their own making. He it is for every one to see. At least no opposition political party was near by to be accused.

  22. EVERYBODY WHO COMMENTED YOU ARE MISSING A POINT CADRELISM IS A PROFESSION IN ZAMBIA NOT A SENSE OF BELONGING,IT IS POVERT,HUNGER AND LACK OF JOB CREATION THAT MAKES THESE GUYS NOT TO CARE ABOUT HUMAN LIFE ANYMORE,WATCH OUT PIPO YOU PUT IN POWER THATS HOW CIVIL WARS BEGIN,IT IS BANYAMULENGE MENTALITY,U JUST READ ABOUT PF MILLITIA IN THE PAPERS WATCHDOG DOESNT LIE

    • You have a point.That is the reason why the next party must by all means abolish cadrelism and allow the police to perform their duties professionally.

    • You have just coined a new term which is applicable to our local politics:Cadrerism.Now let us define it in a more concise manner so that it is accepted in an Encyclopedia.Cadrerism;pronounced(kada-‘riizimu) is the act of political prostitution practiced by the hopelessly unemployed.The cadre has no ideological conviction with any political party manifesto,hence can defect at any opportune time, especially to a ruling party,a party he considers most likely to rule next, or a party led by a wealthy individual .The cadre is only motivated by poverty and It’s debilitating off-shoots.He is then used as a pawn to commit acts of violence,anarchy,hero-worshiping,boot-licking and other acts of self-humiliation in the hope of a political appointment or crumbs from the table of an oligarch…

  23. Why does the headline say INTER-PARTY when it’s all PF cadres killing each other. No other party was involved in this craziness!!! Is it that ba LT or the reporter is so illiterate or you deliberately want misrepresent the facts in this tragic event?

  24. I surely expect an order to ban PF cadres from assembling anywhere for anything what so ever. where is ba shushushu???? why allowing these lazy dirty hungry perceptual beggers get closer to any official event more so, at the international airport with high profile visitors??? These imbeciles do not even add value to national development…fobosabosa fye f!f!kala….

  25. They threatened to ban UPND and MMD – now what? PF should be BANNED! Mansa voters pls give PATHETIC FAILURES no votes – Zero.

  26. I am getting myself one more gun to keep in the car. Yesterday these cadres almost hit me as they drove on the wrong side of the road…then one of them tried to jump out and hit my car with a bar shouting “order” as if I was the one in the wrong. I have s wife and children to protect. When I get my 2nd gun I will shoot first and ask questions later if these thugs ever put me in that situation. And Mr. President eff u all. Mother eff you all. Ur followers put my life in danger and I’ll be damned if I let that happen again. I had love for you now I just wish you ill.

    • I pray it never gets to that. God is in control and one day, cadreism will disappear just as the vigilantes did. I just hope it will be sooner than later.

  27. IT SEAMS PF IS A VERY DANGEROUS PARTY FULL OF ELEMENTS THAT BELONG TO MUKOBEKO. FIRST IT WAS THE CARDER IN LUANGWA DURING A BYE ELECTION WHEN THEY KILLED THEIR OWN CADRE OVER CAMPAIGN MONEY AND BLAMED THE UPND, SECOND IN LIVINGSTONE WHERE THEY ALSO KILLED THEIR CADRE AND ARRESTED GARRY FROM UPND ONLY TO BE ENTERING THE SAME NOW FAMOUS TOOL” NOLLE FIMO FIMO” AND NOW IS THIS ONE, MAY BE THEY SHOULD ARREST HAKAINDE AND MUMBA SINCE THE OPPOSITION ARE ALWAYS TO BLAME. THEY SHIELD THEIR OWN CRIMINALS FROM PROSECUTION FOR OFFENCES COMMITTED INCLUDING FIRING OF WEAPONS IN PUBLIC AND SPILLING OF BLOOD IS NORMAL FOR THEM. HOW FAR ARE THEY WILLING TO GO IN SHEDDING BLOOD AND TAKING AWAY LIFE?

    • My man dont cry this is a capitalist country where money is important than life. PF has been cased how can you beat up people at church the house of God. They have now turned against each other.

  28. THIS EVENT IS SHOCKING.
    IF IT IS TRUE OR ESTABLISHED THAT THE VIOLENCE WAS BETWEEN GBM AND KABIMBA CAMPS, THEN I URGE THE PRESIDENT TO TAKE IMMEDIATE REMEDIAL STEPS BY EITHER RETIRING OR REASSIGNING GBM, AND PAY HIM BACK HIS MONEY HE SPENT DURING THE CAMPAIGNS. OTHERWISE THE FELLOW WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD THIS PARTY TO RANSOM.

    • @LUAPULA PREMIER…shame on you for being the genesis of hacking. You are part of the the lunatic fringe that has been threatening HH. Now see the seeds of war and hooliganism that you have been preaching.

  29. I don’t think she is ugly. Ugly is such an ugly word. Bottom line-she is not beautiful. That’s why she rushed to become a constable. What may make her ugly is that she has been used in the front line in pursuance of trumped-up charges against Rupiah Banda, Nevers Mumba and Hakainde Hichilema. If she had a good heart she would look beautiful

  30. This is one of the saddest day in Zambia. Blood shed for a cause of hegemony and egoism. Ba Sata, stop this madness now!! Zambians are peaceful. Stop any act that glorifies violence like the CLENCHED fist. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I adjure you to stop using the CLENCHED fight fist. Also your Excellency renounce violence as a person. You are know for the Chawama hacking, fighting with Mumbi, sponsoring Scorpion Kadobi during your third term attempt, insulting Mwanawasa, Chiluba and Banda. Please repent of violence so that your cadres can eschew evil!! God save Zambia.

  31. Who is in control?

    Why should a Defense Minister and not the President, VP, SG or Home Affairs Minister be the one to release a statement to the media expressing some sorrow over the violence which has taken place within the party?

  32. Simple advise to President Sata. Preserve the peace of Zambia. You have brought violence and blood shed by your divide and rule with violence philosophy. Chanda Chimba warned us. Dismiss Kabimba and Mwamba from PF. This violence you are naturing in PF will be unleased on helpless opposition people. Look at the recent assault of HH and Mumba. And yet the Police were quick to put the blame on the two opposition leaders. Now your cadres are bludgeoning themselves and you are like Nero watching whilst the nation goes up in flame. Bamudala……what is your problem?

  33. Youths ! Why are you risking your lives over pet issues instead of focusing on planning for your future?Imiti ikula empanga.Don’t allow selfish people to use you.How pleasant it is for brethren to live in peace and harmony. We need prayers.May God deliver this peace nation in Jesus name !

    • Sorry the youths you are addressing here can neither read or write. Especially not reading on the net, later on comment on a blog like this one. Just address GBM and Kabimba since they both read these comments. And pray the angels will help talk to “ba mwine” to redress the situation.

  34. LT the heading should be intra party and not inter party, it is misleading. The president is quick and hard to respond to petty things from opposition let him come out.

  35. keep on killing yourself you foools meanwhile we the politians are busy enjoing your tax we will keep on using you at our expense bakolwe imwe.
    kill another idiiot today.

  36. Sata if you are a man of action can you kindly fire GBM this is uncalled for.

    What type of a president are you who cannot defend your own cadres what of the whole country.Bembas this is your leadership style.
    Thank God that you won the elections so that your leadership styles are exposed.

  37. PF is a thug party. They wanted to involve UPND in their nonsense until HH and his boys realised they were being set-up. There you go, whose a violent bunch of thugs — PF

  38. WHY IS WYNTER KABIMBA QUITE AND YET HE IS IN THE COUNTRY? HIS SILENCE IS VERY SUSPICIOUS. HOW DO YOU KEEP QUITE ON SUCH A SERIOUS MATTER? I CHALLENGE KABIMBA TO SPEAK OUT ON THIS MATTER AS WELL

    • ya! You are right! Let him shade the same crocodile tears we have seen from GBM. Honestly, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to have seen this coming. I think Kabimba is too ashamed and he does not know what to say since he has watched and encouraged the violence in PF. What he hadn’t realised is that it will be used against him and the PF its self. What he would have enjoyed is to watch his blue eyed boys butcher UPND or MMD members. As for GBM, he is just doing the expected, be the first one to cry foul and get the public to forget your involvement in the matter. I wonder how he feels deep inside.

  39. @ KOPALA, IT IS NOT JUST WYNTER, WHY IS STATE HOUSE ALSO QUITE AND WHY DID THEY PROCEED WITH THE CEREMONY KNOWING VERY WELL THAT A FEW METRES AWAY, BLOOD WAS BEING SHED?

    BOTH KABIMBA AND GBM HAVE BEEN MENTIONED TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE TWO CAMPS AND THE VICTIMS ARE REPORTED TO BE FROM GBM’S CAMP. THIS IS A CALL ON KABIMBA TO COMMENT, NOT TO WAIT FOR 24 HOURS.

    • So, what do you expect Kabimba to say? The same sorry sympathy note that GBM wrote? Does that make GBM a better devil than Kabimba? These two men must be ashamed of themselves and we are under obligation not to sugar coat one against the other. They should order their goons to get rid of pangas. We do not need boys who are behaving like a pack of wild dogs at an official function. One day, these two gentlemen should drive incognito after an official and watch how their goons behave on the road! You can be ashamed of being a Zambian. It’s something we have never seen before in the history of our country!

  40. Its really sad to know that people with money are using poor youths to cause violence and confusion. The President should have acted a long time ago to put an end to the wrangles in the ruling party. GBM and Kabimba must be fired.

  41. PF needs to seriously look at promoting non-violence. This is not the way a party in office should be running the affairs of the country. I salute GBM for coming out to speak on this matter because his name has been mentioned. Wynter will do good to speak out to his constituency as well. What happened yesterday is irreversible but serious lessons must be taken for future interactions. Wynter must also speak about the reported militia training because going by what happened yesterday, there is a group that had more trained militias and looking at the statistics of the injured, Wynter has militias to his side, armed with machetes.

  42. The Police spokesperson is ugly !! Loll kwati mwaume uyu mayo!! I am not worried or concerned about the death of the PF cadre but concerned about this woman`s ugliness

  43. The President has delayed in resolving these problems in our party. He was thinking that the problems will just go away naturally. He has promoted artificial peace and reconciliation without addressing the deep-seated problems in PF. This is a wake up call for PF to resolve its problems. President Sata, please allow Wynter Kabimba to stand-down and find a neutral person to unite the party. Your Vice President Guy Scott has also not been useful and helpful with healing these wounds.

  44. Yet these are the same cadres who will be given the 1000 buses that were bought using some borrowed money. How on earth are people still stupid? We need to educate these foolish people from engaging in fighting on behalf of some politicians whose lives are never in danger. Poor cadres when will they learn!

  45. GBM’S STATEMENT

    “I have learnt of today’s violence with the deepest sorrow. My prayers go to out to families who have lost their loved ones following today’s regrettable intra-party violence. To all those nursing their wounds in our hospitals, I join many Zambians within and outside PF in sharing your pain. I look forward to my returning home and joining fellow citizens in mourning the departed and comforting the wounded, ” read the statement ???

    THE QUESTIONS?

    IF HE IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY, HOW WAS HE MONITORING VIOLENT EVENTS IN THE COUNTRY?

    SINCE WHEN DID GBM BECOME THE PRESIDENT’S OR HOME AFFAIRS MINISTER OR VP’S SPOKESPERSON??

    • In his head he is already the president.” I looking forward to returning home and joining……….” This is presidential speak. The head of the party should be the one issuing such statements.

  46. LT you need to take back your editors back to school to learn English again. It is not inter party violence as reported in your headline, but ‘intra party violence’ which means within the party as opposed to across parties as you are insinuating.

  47. WYNTER CANNOT STAND DOWN…HE IS ONE OF THE SOBEREST FELLOW IN THE PARTY.

    WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN A COOL GUY AND A WIFE BEATER?

    Luapula IS BEHIND THE EDUCATED WYNTER….

  48. The man GBM should be fired with immediate effect because he is the cause of this violence…..and he even has the guts to issue a press statement fooling people.Sata shud fire this guy right away or we shall conclude as a Country that he is the one encouraging these confusions.Its not normal.

  49. PF, of what use will be your “infrastructure” be if at the end of the day the people you are developing infrastructure for have all died? Or you have killed yourselves. If these people with a common vision are killing themselves what more other people from other political parties? They will soon start slaughtering everyone and before we realize we will all be engulfed in PF Madness ( Just to borrow a word from SATA who called FTJ(MHSRP) Mad. This is Sad indeed; the “A” team is busy drinking tea while cadres are finishing themselves up. Please history spare Zambia we do not want to go back to the Chacha days those of us who witnessed those days are still traumatized.

  50. Terms like the A team should be avoided at all cost and SATA has been the best president. I don’t think the Vice President was speaking down from his heart. Or it all hypocritical praises as usual.

  51. The old age saying ‘Like father like son’ is true with PF party. Sata’s character is made up of violence, deception and populist mantra. His followers take machetes with vulgar language hack each other.
    PF is crafting its legacy as a party of violence.

  52. HAS THERE BEEN A STATEMENT FROM STATE HOUSE YET? WHAT TYPE OF LEADERS KEEP QUITE WHEN SUCH THINGS HAPPEN? IWE KA WYNTER, SOKOLOKA MANJE!!!!

  53. If PF can and has been killing its own members by fighting, hacking and stabbing themselves like in the case of Menyani Zulu from Lusaka stabbed to death in Lufunsa, Chanda from Monze was hacked to death and Mwaliteta’ s cook killed in Livingstone respectively what will stop them from killing and mimimg innocent citizenry who do not believe in their ideologies. Do PF need human blood to exist and survive?

  54. ZAMBIANS open your eyes, does this Government care, the president swore to uphold the constitution, which is about protecting the Zambian citizens rights, and life.
    But if you look at the events of PF and Government leaders its pathetic to say the least. Killings in chongwe in Luangwa bye- elections, Livingstone bye elections, Violence in Lufwanyama, Mkaika, Solwezi and not to mention PF Lusaka cadres.
    The killing in Kapasa, Kitwe former Mp and list goes on and on. I am so annoyed with the loss of life PLEASE ZAMBIANS LET US VOTE OUT THESE THUGS in 2016. May the lord deliver us from these terrible leaders we have who do not know what they are suppose to do in the offices we have put them.

  55. Dear countrymen there is no way a simple cadre can respect the presidential directive/order when the camp leaders themselves are still exchanging bitter words in the media. Not until the president crack the A team and on the other hand demote GBM shall we see peace in PF. The danger now is that innocent souls will be lost or caught in the fracas. It is time for the president to show meaningful leadership by disciplining his top most lieutenants.
    GBM, KABIMBA and SCOT (and few others) are to blame for this unfortunate EVENT. May their Souls Rest in Eternal Peace

  56. IMWE BA LT ARE YOU SURE IT WAS ‘INTER-PARTY’ VIOLENCE?

    YOUR STORY AND FACTS ON THE GROUND SUGGEST ‘INTRA PARTY’ VIOLENCE- CHABA SHANI KANSHI?

  57. Veep declared the war has STARTED and some media houses chose to misunderstand him to having said that has ENDED when he openly meant to have STARTED. Now you can see what he meant.

  58. Luke 11:18 if Satan is divided and fight against himself, how can his kingdom grow?
    If PF is divided and fights it self how can the party grow strong?
    Satan is a typical snake, like in the true snake character, he gives birth to a party and leaves it to fend and strugle on its own.
    These are the fruits of a party without direction.

  59. @czar, hos can a presido who doesnt have leadership skills show them? are you still in denial that voters like you lost it.

    by end of next year, it will be bad and the kwacha will be dancing big time. wait and see what your mistakes will bring to zambia.

  60. Crocodile tears from GBM. We now know his true colours. He will never be president of this country…although he may become president of northern province one day.

    • My appeal goes to Muvi tv to show us that clip of a carder being beaten by the police cause the t-shirt he was putting on looks similar to the one the deceased was wearing.

  61. God have mercy on us…this is unacceptable and sad event…maybe we have taken for granted the peace loving lying statement we been praising ourselves that we are peaceful people….slowly uprisings are becoming order of the day in Zed…not good but we need to wake up

  62. In what capacity is GBM issuing his self-implicating statement? Is it as the leader of one of the warring factions? If law and order was fairly applied in Zambia GBM would by now be facing interrogation to explain his role in the violence but being an untouchable one that will not happen and it will be business as usual.
    The security of the country is at risk for two main reasons:-
    1. GBM is minister of defence and is widely suspected to be behind the violence, how safe are Zambians with him in that portfolio?
    2. The warring thugs belong to the ruling party and therefore the ability and credibility of the PF to govern is heavily compromised. Clearly a failed state!
    May be we should wait for the president to issue a comprehensive statement if ever he will.

  63. Nosene pipo can make political mireage over the unfortunate behavior of dese cadres. Any party in power will have dem.Pf has not allowed dese poor souls access 2 markets,bus stations nd plots.lt used 2 b a parallel govt during de previous ones.

  64. Any leader that comes will find cadres of this type in Zambia.Those dat were with pf in de opposition re not violent.Just after pf took over power both mmd and upnd cadres appeared 2ve an upperhand alas dey dare not do dat 2day. Dey can b crushed.

  65. Is it inter-party or intra-party we are talking about here? If the violence was between members of the same party PF then this is intra-party violence. Our journalists should report properly!

  66. Is it inter-party or intra-party we are talking about here? If the violence was between members of the same party PF then this is intra-party violence. Our journalists should report properly! Inter-party means between different parties, e.g. PF and MMD.

  67. WHO HEARD THE NONSENSICAL STATEMENT FROM GUY SCOTT????? DOES THAT RACIST HAVE A HUMAN HEART? I SALUTE GBM FOR HIS STATEMENT TO SHOW SORROW AND SYMPATHY ON THE MATTER. WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE FROM GUY SCOTT?

  68. This is to tell u that those evil cadres once in mmd after briefly staying in upnd resolved to joing pf so as 2 perpetuary their way of life.Since kk’s era dey’ve bin a govt within the govt.ln pf they are not given a soft hand hence the behavior.

  69. PF can not go. PF will remain in power after 2016. But bad seeds within the party must definitely go. President Sata must take a firm stance against anarchy in the PF. It is now clear to all that divisions within PF are not about supporting the president to go beyond 2016. These divisions have the markings of curtailing his presidency even before 2016. Where on earth can you find supporters of a popular president slaughtering one another as a way of showing loyalty to that president? If bad elements are allowed to remain in PF blood shed will be the order of the day, PF as party will lose substantial membership, the president and government will become very unpopular, developmental undertakings will stall, potential and viable investors will stay outside the border line.

  70. hey guys leave PF alone why bother.

    Madam Charity you are beautiful monga Sunday girl of the 1980s please send me your contact details

  71. One way of solving this problem,or rather quickening its conclusion is to put all the people that belong to the A team and B team in the DISATER stadium and give them a good supply of machetes, problem solved!

  72. Yesterday’s killers were reported to have been pro- Kabimba militias. Where is the moral conscience of Winter Kabimba if murderers can claim allegiance to his name? Who supplied those murderers with assorted weapons? Where was the police for such a situation to have been allowed in broad day light and in relative close proximity of the head of state? What about the other militias who were attacked? To whom are they claiming allegiance? They are also said to have been armed with assorted weapons. What was their intention? Also to kill? If this is the state of affairs, then the ruling party is at war with itself and national development is under threat. The thugs who are butchering one another are not the the ones who made PF gain state power. The people of Zambia decided.

  73. Yaba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The police spokesperson needs some serious imagine building lol. it reflects badly on the Zamwino Palibe (ZP). some serious feeding is needed. food with high protein and fat content. please remove that picture if you can. If China man came dangling K10,000.00 would Zamwino palibe refuse?

  74. Someone was spilling the blood of Chicken during campaigns, mow the blood of humans is being spilled. What have you done to OUR nation, you devils.

    Satan let go of this country, in Jesus name.

  75. At first the implosion of the PF looked funny, now the bloodletting is both worrying and unacceptable. The escalating debt situation deeply concerning, the silence of the President, Vice President and Secretary General in light of these developments completely baffling, the inaction and general dereliction of duty by the law enforcement agencies most disconcerting. We the people demand an immediate end to this unnecessary bloodshed, violent infighting, chaotic governance, escalating debt, nepotism, corruption and general incompetence exhibited by the country’s political leadership. Enough is enough.

  76. GBM should be saluted for demonstrating his wise leadership qualities by responding with an effort to instil peace in his PF party and stem the proliferation of violence in the country. Loss of the precious life for political ends must be condemned at all costs.

  77. @Umubemba Inkonko
    If I were you, I wouldnt continue exhibiting my incoherent ideas on this site. By this day, if this government was lead by genuine leaders, they would have resigned, but because they clear on underrating the Zambian’s ability to react, they sit in comfort that in heaven its God and on earth, its pf! My realistic observation is that if we were to hold general election anytime from now, PF will be no were near leadership – please mark my word! The reasoning is simple – they have done enough of discredit to themselves to render them useless. The summary is that Sata is the worst president we ‘ve ever had!
