Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) national youth secretary has warned members against wearing regalia with Rupiah Banda’s face.
Mr Lusambo said the MMD’s days of disunity are over and that there is only one MMD whose president is Dr Nevers Mumba.
“I want to warn those criminals who are going round in the name of MMD with Rupiah Banda regalia to stop because we will deal with them nicely if found,” he warned.
Mr Lusambo has since written to the inspector general of police and the office of the fourth republican president to inform them that the MMD has only Dr Nevers Mumba as president.
On the youth day, Mr Lusambo said his party understands the importance of commemorating such events.He said the MMD had been in government for 20 years and know the importance of such events thus the party will take part in the celebrations.
He urged other opposition members to participate in the celebrations and put their political differences aside.
And Patriotic Front (PF) Lusaka provincial youth chairperson Kennedy Kamba has invited youths from the opposition parties to take part in the youth day celebrations because they were important for the nation.
“We are inviting all youths in Zambia regardless of their political affiliations to come and take part in the youth day celebrations next Thursday and support president Lungu,” he said.
Mr Kamba in an interview said that there will be no violence or any intimidation from anyone as Zambia belonged to everyone and every youth is free to part in national events.
I am tired of this #%&t seriously. Still issuing threats in Zambia in 21st Century. Whatever happened to freedom of association and experession.
I think this freedom of expression is really getting out of hand huh. Will find u holding a small girl ati freedom of expression. Lusambo is just talking abt some discipline which needs to be maintained in a party. Do u allow ur children to wear your cloths after finding them pa tambo ati its freedom of wearing.
There is no need for Lusambo to issue threats as to what people should wear during Youth Day celebrations.The event is not an MMD or any other party organized event and as such people are free to come dressed in whatever attire they choose as long as it is not indecent dressing.In short the event is Government organized.Police will surely ignore Lusambo’s directive.
This Lusambo, “we will deal with them nicely if we find them.” Such nonsense! Are you going to beat them up? Why do some Zambian politicians think issuing threats is a sign of good leadership?
I would like to caution UPND youths to stay away from this youth day event. This Pf wants to injure you. We have information about how they intend to harm any UPND cadre. Dont trust them. In fact they are not worth of any trust. Dont expect any protection from the police. They will just watch u being massacred like they did to Glazer Matapa. Let them do it alone. It is not safe for UPND.
LUSAMBO you are just a mad chap, can you compare yourself with MUHABI LUNGU who was elected by NEC while yourself u were only brought into NEC just to be NEVERS MUMBA bootliker, and u will be shocked very soon NEVERS is accepting a job in PF as ambassador to BRAZIL u will remain alone and thats when pure MMD Youths will deal with you, FLORENCE MUMBA has told the husband that if he refuses to accept the job nishi marriage yafwa, and this pastor fears this woman very much he will be forced to accept the job. TUKAKUMONA who will protect you. Why do u always want to bring RB in your stupid issues which does not make any sense. Stop the madness iwe chikala.
UpDn party have been staying away for years. Let them stay away this year again. It will be no big deal if UpDn youth stay away
What is the monetary benefit of attending the youth day.?
