A 2016 peaceful elections committee in Mongu District of Western Province says it will hold an inter political party football tournament at Mongu Sports Stadium aimed at healing political grievances among political players.
ZANIS sports reports that Committee chairperson Mubita Wakumela says the event was also aimed uniting the country.
The tournament which will be held under the theme “Together, we unite Zambia‘’ kicks off tomorrow the 24th of April and is expected to end on 15th may 2015.
Wakumela said this in a statement released in Mongu District today.
The tournament which extends to Lusaka Province next month will attract eight political parties in western province namely PF, MMD, FDD, UPND, UNIP and Revolutionary Communist Party among others.
The tournament kicks off tomorrow with Revolutionary Communist Party verses Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD).
But how are you going to play football, with the Mongu stadium yet to be constructed? The govt doesn’t even know where this stadium will be built, if ever?
Tribes are not what is dividing this nation! Selected developments and these politicians with bend mouths is what is dividing the nation. Those who ban others from “ZNBCing their views”are the characters that need to play this football so that they lose both weight and arrogance. Me I am fitting well even with Goba people.
Can they honestly think of kicking the ball without looking at such? What’s your problem?
For as long as politicians and the police continue shielding the perpetrators of political violence nothing will change, e.g the hacking of the UPND cadre by a PF cadre at the airport in full view of PF officials and Police has died a natural death in the name of investgation. Invetsigating what???????
