Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has disclosed that the suspected Patriotic Front (PF) cadres that attacked his entourage and interrupted an interview he was attending at a radio station in Ndola on Saturday yesterday were armed with among other things guns and machetes.
Mr. Hichilema said that he suspects that the PF cadres whom he has referred to as being thugs may have come from Kitwe and Luanshya specifically sent to allegedly kill him.
Mr. Hichilema told Qfm news that his conviction that the said suspected PF cadres came for his life is based on the fact that even after he left the radio station to open up his party’s new office in within Ndola, the same cadres pounced again on his entourage discharging fire arms while the Police watched the ordeal.
The UPND leader has also wondered why up now the Police have not arrested any of the suspected PF cadres when they were present at both incidents when members of his party were being attacked by the suspected PF cadres.
Asked whether he was injured during the fracas, the opposition leader said that whether he was injured or not is not the issue but that what matters is the fact that members of his party were injured while they tried to defend themselves adding that the fact that they were injured he too has been injured.
He said that this is why he does not think it is necessary to file a formal complaint to the Police over the attacks as the Police were present during the two incidents.
He said that President Michael Sata is however the one to blame as it is within his powers to stop such thugarism amongst his party members if only he wanted.
Mr. Hichilema has however warned that his party members should not blamed next time if the defend themselves to same extent as their attackers would be armed.
clip of HH escaping from PF cadres
This after 50 years of independence; no freedom of expression? Vigilante days are back? Does Rwanda ring any bells?
DONT WORRY PEOPLE of Zambia. Sata is going no where.
If Zambia was Developed as Russia or other countires DICTATORSHIP would ve worked but not on the YOUNG DEMOCRACY. ..Never. Never he is going nowhere I asure u by God’s MERCIES.
This is false.The police has no time for this because Hakaivotela is lying.There is no sight of PF cadres in the video.And who has time to be filming that when everyone is running away ? Hakaivotela Humwine is the biggest attention seeker have seen.He organized this himself.
This is fake and a poor attempt at attention seeking. Grow up diaper man under 5.
And who does he think will believe this ? He must be charged for perjury.
HH the attention seeker is at it again.
It is despicable to see such primitive behaviour in 2014. Anyone denying this having happened or indeed glorifying this behaviour is as demonic as Sata who is fanning this behaviour. it is beyond me why someone would smile or indeed feel anything other than shame to be associated with such animal behaviour. The only winner here are the coffin makers who are bound to see the business quadruple when Zambia plunges into anarchy. It does not take much more than this to spill blood and I am sure the PF useful i.diots will blame HH, or indeed the opposition, for what is to come instead of looking at who is training the militia in Sudan and bringing such confusion in the nation. These developments are cutting deep and only a revolt will change the current course of destruction.
HH reminds me of Kabimba in opposition, issuing statements in the media and telling supporters at a rally that “defend yourselves, mulibe manja”.This is downright ridiculous, taking law in own hands has no winners, it’s the very issue we want Sata out.Is HH ready for state leadership? Um…um I doubt it. These were empty intimidations to disrupt his meetings and thugs achieved their goal.I don’t understand why he can’t make a formal complaint to the police, whether they act on it swiftly or not is another matter altogether.The fact is,unprovoked crime of violence has been committed,the case deserves to be heard in court to stop or at least minimise this rot.
@Wu, you are either a very dishonest person or a blind sitipudi cadre. haven’t you been informed on all non government media that the police were there and could not do anything? This violence you’re playing down will be visited upon you and those who are close to you by these same tribesmen of yours Sata is sponsoring to cause havoc. You must be a violent person for you to play down this rubbish.
If HH was indeed under attack why was he walking with his hands in the pocket? Poor acting right there.
Is this a sex tape ? All I hear is bend over. Pitful !!!!
Pf is a grouping of dull people who have MPs who are useless, confirmed by its leader, M C Sata. The entire fiber of PF is made up of none intellect people who cannot engage in political debate hence resort to use of violence as a face saving strategy. Even the bloggers on the side of PF, will 95% of the time resort to insulting online, meaning if they were near you that would have been physical. What a shame to Sata who is leading such a group of dull people who can accept to be insulted in day light and go home where their wives say mwabombeni? after being insulted ulichipuba on national TV by Sata.
its extremely hard to kill a housefly than this tribal and pedestrian politician.
He loves drama a lot and drama follows him, so where is the problem?
The PF should put a stop to this. The problem we have in Zambia is that most party leaders at lower organs are semi illiterates. When they have nothing to add to debate they resort to intimidation. The only thing they can offer their party is violence/anarchy.
Or is it HH who is out to attract public sympathy?
hakainde SPIDERMAN Hichilema escape from KOPALA…… lol
What a Staged escape.Fickle politicians…Crap !!!
An attention seeker staging escapes and his poor cadres as support actors in the pseudo-fracas.Now thumb down my comment because i know you are good at that when you don`t want to face the truth(truth hurts right ?).Smh…
@ Saulosi
You sick mind needs devine intervention. Take time every Sunday to read the “Todays message” on this very website. It might be your last hope..
I think we should stand for something in life. Should we be afraid of PF because they are in power? What if you UPND or MMD come into power? Should the now PF supporters be afraid. We know PF cadres, they are capable of this, @saulo have you forgotten the intra-party violence so quickly? The funny thing about all this is the govt is not condemning it, the pf is not denying it. HH has said the police were there, so he won’t report it but the police are also quiet makes you wonder doesn’t it?
@Saulosi, just after coming back from Zambia, naupwa steleki. You got attacked by a “fake” Saulosi, you backed up, and thats the day I lost hope in you.
Look at the comments you are bringing from your PF visit.
Saulosi, my dear little PF cadre, were you in Ndola like I was on this particular day? No? Then on what basis are you basing your rantings since you were no where near my city? Don’t be a douche my friend. I had started to respect you but look at you now.
DONT WORRY PEOPLE of Zambia. Sata is going no where.
If Zambia was Developed as Russia or other countires DICTATORSHIP would ve worked but not on the YOUNG DEMOCRACY. ..Never. Never he is going nowhere I asure u by God’s MERCIES.
Who lied to you fool , he is ruling for even third term
Coward pwi-a-fool. Your time is coming & very soon.
this is the work of kabimba and mulenga sata. while they are doing this, sata is too sick to notice anything. besides he does not even care because he has reached the end of the road and has nothing left to live for.. if I were him, I would turn to God and ask for forgiveness and completely repent, but alas he is an extension of the devil who is stubborn until he gets destroyed. wish you well in hell
dreaming as usual,when you stop it then you may see more clearly.Fire the director of your staged short movie,he should have organised some fake group holding some sticks to simbolise some threat,not just running from the wind,another failed attempt.
I am urging all parties to tame their cadres. This is not nice.
Imagine, four readers out there so far think the violence IS nice and believe it is not a good idea for all parties to tame their cadres? Shame on you!
I suppose you so-called “people” think there should be more violence, more tension, and more intimidation by all? That’s what’s going to take Zambia forward and make the country a better place for your children? Shame on you!
I smell lies.
Your smelly cunt! wait and see before people start slaughtering themselves very soon
you are likely to smell a lie, when the truth is being told. This is because you belong to a part of lies PF. Examples of lies by PF;
1. they do not know where the constitution is
2. animal driven constitution exists – Sata
3. borrowing $1 billion is a sign of a health economy
4. creating 600, 000 jobs – Sata, Chikwanda (acting president) 300, 000 jobs, when the truth is 61 000 jobs
5. bunga price will be low now it averages K80 per 50kg bag from K40
6. Kwacha will be as strong as it was in the 70s – Sichinga and the truth will be greeting you on Monday as the kwacha does a free fall on the market
Since you are good at taking videos, show us a clip of cadres with guns and machetes. We re tired if you.
This is either poor reporting or staged clip. This clip could be anywhere for any reason. It doesn’t confirm anything in the story. It might as well have been left out instead of making alleged lies worse…
You’re just a stinking primitive tribalist…..a member of warlord sata’s tribal militia!
we are closely monitorying this.i doubt if satan will manage to climb the roof top of Nkwazi house any time soon.watch the space.
If this true it’s unacceptable, but I thought party leaders are prepared to die for a cause,not the cab- scout escape manoeuvres we see here.What would happen if it was an elderly party leader like RB or CNP himself, where would they get the knees or legs to climb on roof tops?This is why I question HH’s resolve. FTJ in his prime was bundle, arrested and roughed up several times by KK’s thugs,he stood tall in his small frame and faced them come what may.Thats what we call resolve to achieve what you believe in.Nevers Mumba and Edith Nawakwi just last week faced the same rowdy PF behaviour, they stood still and refused to be intimidated, that’s leadership resolve.If your quest is to get to state house HH you can’t let street Sata’s thugs win, man up. Kabimba is now laughing.
The clip shows HH at his best making a scene for his next movie!
And you think you’re funny? How does it feel getting taxpayer money for which your only qualification is tribe?
one day those cadres who were not born from normal women shall all have leprosy..one day they shall dance to Zambia’s tune..we don’t condon such illiteracy form the top to the bottom..we hate the thugs with a passion..one day we pray some people will clear all of them..nonsense..viva HH
hate hate hh were you injured simple question you fail to answer. There is a KCM issue which you are party to blame. When Sata deported the KCM director you and Nevers were busy taking now with the protest you are quiet. Only Milupi has said sometime which is current. Say sometime so that we also know what you are promising.Going round taking about other peoples broken promises is not helping you we know what the PF said can you also say something fruitful than the blame game.
You’re a typical member of Sata’s Bemba tribal militia?
Ha ha ha these are some poor acting skills from HH and his poor cadres.Didnt know that this man can sink this low.
Well take it all leave it! Am nonpartisan lI can tesfy that I was just meters away and witnessed the commotion
Honestly speaking I don’t usually comment i just read the news and go.
But seriously speaking HH behaves like a nagging wife. Why can’t the guy tell the people of zambia what he will offer when he becomes a president.
Bembas have all of you turned into a tribal militia? You’re too tribal and violent.
I quite understand that,the death of HH will induce a big celebration among PF cadres and their leaders.Its like killings in this regime is normal and highly supported by PF cadres in entirety.we are waiting for PF to tie their necks.PF its voting itself out.2016 is the year of judgement.PF will go in oblivion,God chooses leaders no matter how we can try to vote for corrupt leaders.PF was suppose to stay for years in power,but greedy and self loving will shorten their stay.Among the positives things PF has done is creation of new districts and other developmental projects.But evil men and women surroundin sata will mislead him.Political instability is one animal that retards development.PF should learn to embrace their political opponents,just like they we embraced by past govts.
It’s seems like there is an increase of paid PF thugs sent out to deny the truth. Why would HH lie about an incident like this that took place in Ndola were a lot of witnesses were there to testify? Sata is treading on dangerous ground and he must be stopped before he puts this country on fire. Violence and intimidation tactics can not work in this era, people have access to information 24/7
And I have never heard the President pass comment on this PF violence and if this continues with our Police just folding hands, the President is leading us to deadly bloody clashes. We need to stop him immediately.
How can he pass a comment when chiccala Sata is at the center of all this violence and militialism?
Panga family are just living up to their violent reputation.Awuleth’ Umshini Wami to counter these PF crazies.
What do you expect when you have URINE BAG president.
Do not say you were not warned. Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory baba! Ine and my husband we are armed to the teeth. Anytime pa Zambia nkondo iza gemuka!
From the time Sata-n came into power, there are just too many guns in dirty hands especially ex jail birds.
One wonders what the Intelligence Unit is doing, busy following opposition leaders when evil people are reportedly funnelling cash and military equipment from Sudan into Zambia.
The more Pf cadres beat Upnd supporters & HH the more determined HH becomes to liberaty Zambia politically, ecomically & even socially.
Underlying problems to Zambia’s growing problem of political violence are complex and caused by one person; Michael Chileisundila Sata-n. He has introduced a culture of impunity just like urine flows from his body even in public with impunity.
There is no simple and easy solution, but the continued lack of attention from Sata-n in addressing the problem is worrying.
And until there are concerted efforts to alleviate the issues underlying political violence, more people will be attacked and killed.
But there is one solution to this problem; get rid of the URINE BAG and everything will come to normal.
This kind of opposition, hahaha. No wonder the impunity from the other camp. You cant win hearts and minds to your camp this way, Sara. You need more tact. Otherwise your kind of head begs comprehension. If what you say above can be said about you, am truly sure you can’t be happy. No wonder the reinforcement of actions of impunity. Don’t know what difference you are making.
We will never allow pf thugs to disrupt the UPND peaceful meetings.
The PF should be classified as a terrorist organisation.What is the rational of going to a radio station with pangas and machetes? Why didn’t the police stop this crowd that did not have a police permit to congregate.Why hasn’t there been a statement from the IG Stela Libongani? who will protect Zambian citizens from these PF terrorists? Zambia Army help!
He once said if his members fight it means they like the party to grow hence he has never commented pf shedding bloodshed.
What do you expect when you poke a wasp’s nest?! You’ll be stung.
This guy is just childish what he is saying doesn’t happen in Zambia , whom has he seen short in Zambian politicks, is he going to be the first one ooooh my foot , he must be living in another part of the world I don’t know, maybe in Libya here you insult your president at will , night and day and nothing happens only a fool can believe this boy
nshilimubemba watch yo toungh.?????????
All I could see in the clip is HH and his men as actors acting in some segment of the movie like Silvester Stallone.
HH is clearly seen going upstairs, and then shortly afterwards he uses the same route to come down!
The clip does not show armed rival PF gangs. Guns in this country are a preserve of the rich. Where can party kaponyas acquire those guns?
Deception at its best.
Unfortunate situation. The good thing is we still have the freedom to see, hear and come 2016 our votes will count. You can insult now but we have a new generation people who does not know what the word tribal is. HH is climbing the political lader up everyday.
Do you honestly think Ukwa will allow elections in 2016? Even if he loses, do you honestly think Ukwa is the type of person who will hand over power peacefully and willingly? Zambians made a rod for their own back with their stu.pid voting in 2011. There will be a lot of bloodshed and suffering before you see the backs of panga fighters. The consequences of voting for Ukwa will be with us in thirty years time that is if we are still a unitary state.
HH ALWAYS PLAYS TO THE GALLERY….
Why didn’t the cameraman show us the so called armed “PF thugs”?
HH and his team failed to show us a single clip of police dispersing his meetings in Chipata.
The TRUTH is, there were no crowds at his meetings in Chipata, and they is none on CB, that is why he has resorted to radio interviews to insult the President.
I don’t understand your logic, if you have any. How does someone take photos when his life is in danger. Watch the video again and listen to the cadres baying for some one blood. Get a life. the guy shooting this video was also running for his dear life.
@ Saulosi, complete stupidity. Educated or not your mentality is the same as bembas.
Hello Zambians, Survival strategies and tactics are at play, indeed. PF wants to stay longer and lead the nation. The opposition are also fast and furious, wanting to wrestle power from PF. Some battles need kids gloves but other battles can be ugly, unfortunately. They all want power to lead and control other peoples, and the power to control limited resources. This is competition, real time, like it or not. There is trading of blows either way, such as criticising, anger, belittling, condemning and even foul language like insults, but hoping to lead the nation one day, is the opposition thinking. On the one hand PF is leading, controlling the resources rightly and wrongly as well, but very determined to remain in power. Power is sweet. Only the annointed one will carry the day, we await.
Political competition in the 21st Century baba should be democratic not terrorism being put on a display by PF militia. You cannot justify terrorism unless Floyd Chitalu you tell me that you have become a figure of fun. What PF did is unwarrantable unless in animal farm, even animals have a modus operandi.
We should not practice politics like in the prehistoric or antediluvian era. But what do you expect when Sata-n in State House is from the primordial epoch. He has no idea of what democracy is!
You can see now the problem of voting an uneducated moron even the reasoning of people like Floyd Chitalu has plummeted to the level of Sata-n in State House; justifying idiocy and terrorism.
In your right frame of mind you call PF’s terrorism normal political competition? Kwena Floyd…
Kwena Floyd Chitalu, naupwa! You need disinfection from PFism!
Sara, am not insulting anyone, not even you. What am stating is an obious truth that competition is at play. This time around its too viscious and we are not careful we can end up like Rwanda or central African Republic, etc. Power is sweet. Let anyone be there, we complained about KK, FTJ, LPM, RBB and now MCS. In competition depends which side of your bread is buttered. If I sympathize with one party others in other camps may not see sense, when stiff competition reigns. Yes we need to be tough tested, but we need a common ground where we agree. If not we can’t agree on anything, well we shall heighten the competition and the loosers will loose big time, the winner will get it all, the national presidency, Sara, Lol.
Why is HH so paranoid?
How do you go for a Radio Interview Drunk? And speaking Tonga, In Ndola..?
you are really funny,even i mind my language depending on location.
One Zambia one nation.
Zambia is not for one tribe, no!
To think that Zambia can only be ruled and dominated by a certain tribe is futile.
Peace and Love
No names please haters.
HH GOD IS WITH YOU. UPND AND ZAMBIANS GOD IS WITH YOU ALL.
PF MUST KNOW THAT THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED. POLICE MUST MUST LEARN TO PROTECT EVERY CITIZEN. PF CADRES ARE HAVING AFIELD DAY IN ZAMBIA TODAY. IF THE POLICE CAN NOT STOP PF THUGGERY. ZAMBIANS ARE GOING TO START TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. PF IS MAKING ZAMBIA ANOTHER RWANDA IN MAKING.
VIVA HH. WE KNOW THAT PF IS AFRAID OF YOU.
Within 2 years, Sata has managed to turn Zambia into uncivilized country. Zambia is now no different from Congo DR. What a shame!
Wenye hakainde. You are busy castigating the PF of perceived lies from the campaign promises which they re systematically fulfilling yet you re on record of telling huge lies. Militia in Sudan, wenye! President Sata in India, wenye! Providing legal services yo nurses if fired, wenye! PF cadres with guns and machetes another wenye. How you ascended to upnd power serious wenye that left the likes of Patrick Chisanga abandoning the once vibrant party. Stop lying between your teeth if serious minded people can consider you.
Don’t believe everything my HH says, he just wants attention and besides he is the one who started everything, by coming with his own cadres, who were harmed to fight.the Pfizer just tried to defend themselves,
I am tied of HH cries….. HH aways cries like a babe, he always wants sympathy from Zambians. Please be a man and face politics.
Hurry Hyena drama at its best. Most of you saying PF days are numbered are not in Zambia and will not even vote just like me in UK. I wonder if u will go to Zambia and register as a voter and 2016 vote. PF knows where to get massive toes and they aret
Taking development /infrustructure there . 2016 it’s Sata without any doubt
In this era of PF misrule, no one has been spared – including the professional personnel in the OP system. Members of OP whose long service goes beyond 2016 are best advised to start taking an inventory of all PF giants and their cadres who are organising a diversity of crimes under the guise of serving President Sata. Such culprits will have to face the Law when democratic normality is restored in Zambia. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
This is not what I had voted for, never did we vote for a failed state nor for a militia. As a Zambian I am very sad with the level of intolerance from the so called ruling party cadres.
God is on the Thrown, he will deliver us.
If PF was is as popular and big a political party as Kabimba and other PF minions are claiming they should stop chasing HH around and trying to silence him. Let them leave the man alone so we see if Kabimba’s claims are a true reflection of reality. Or else the PF’s barbaric acts are just confirming to us that the PF is damn scared of HH and will do anything including killing him to stop him from humiliating them in 2016.
The warning to Zambia is there will soon be bloodshed if this kind of lawlessness by PF is not stopped because the victims of their brutality will one day pick up arms (machetes, axes, pistols, etc like PF is doing) to defend themselves.
Cheap propaganda by Hakainyelawila under 5 to win sympathy from people, these are childish tactics ba bwana, where are the pictures to PF cadres with pangas and guns?
hh, Historical Hypocrite! this man will really stop at nothing!! am tired of him mwee!
