It has emerged that the UPND cadre who was shot and reported to have mysteriously disappeared from his Livingstone General hospital bed has in fact been arrested by Police and charged with threatening violence.

Home Affairs Minister Davis Mwila has disclosed that the UNPD cadre Mushaukwa Mushaukwa, who is alleged to have been short by PF Secretary General Davis Chama in Mulobezi, was arrested and charged shortly after being discharged from Hospital.

Mr. Mwila has further disclosed to Qfm News by telephone that Mr. Mushaukwa has however been released on Police bond.

He says the Police want the UPND cadre to help with investigations into the recent violence that took place in Mulobezi.

And Mr. Mwila says he finds the opposition UPND, which earlier disclosed in a statement that Mr. Mushaukwa had mysteriously disappeared from his hospital bed, to be a party of jokers.

Earlier, UPND Chairperson for Legal Jack Mwiimbu alleged that UPND cadre Mushaukwa Mushaukwa, who was allegedly shot by PF Secretary General Davies Chama in Mulobezi had mysteriously gone missing from his Livingstone General Hospital bed where he was receiving treatment.

Mr Mwiimbu told the media that this was a serious concern to the party especially that during UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema’s visit to his hospital bed yesterday, the victim revealed on camera that he was allegedly shot by the PF Secretary General Davies Chama and not the driver.

Mr Mwiimbu said that strangely, Mushaukwa had now gone missing from his hospital bed.

He further stated that the UPND would hold the Zambia Police and the PF government responsible for whatever happens to their party member whose whereabouts are currently not known.

    • It’s a party of jockers indeed,always wanting to alarm the nation before getting facts. Just the other day HH claimed that Chama shot the UPND cadre, whilst his MP pointed his finger at Chamas driver.

    • Who discharged him?
      They went to the Hospital and somehow he was discharged without the knowledge of the Hospital staff?

      The leaders in PF have failed- they are not good enough to be MP’s let alone Ministers, Chama, Mwila you name them all, are just political mistakes.
      Ugly they are , I must add.

      Thanks

    • LUNGU please Fire thug CHAMA for the sake of peace in the country.

      People can only take so much stupidity before they erupt take the law into their hands.

      At least the hospital staff when asked by UPND should have told us the police arrested him upon discharge.

      Why did PF not alert his relatives or hospital staff that the patient is being discharged and arrested ? Instead waited for UPND to raise the alarm about the missing person.

      When the truth comes out, Lungu will fire this CHAMA thug, just like Kabimba was fired.

    • This is a result of having thugs in power. Everything they do is a joke.

      But one day, we shall make them to account why they behaved they way they did.

    • LUNGU FIRE CHAMA NOW OTHER WISE !

      regime is full of mad dogs which need to be castrated first and then culled to prevent their subhuman genes from spreading.
      Any one supporting PF carries a subhuman gene in them. They all need to be stopped once and for all.

    • WE THANK MR. MWIIMBU FOR MAKING NOISE ABOUT THE CADRE, OTHERWISE THESE THUGS WERE NOT GOING TO RELEASE HIM. IT IS SYNDICATE.

  1. PF is evil! Its a devil’s party! You are yet to witness more human rights abuse! Good will always triumph over evil no matter how long it takes, one day PF at the rate they are going will fall.

    • Charged for threatening violence when you have actually been shot!!!!. And the person who has shot you is the complainant….!!!

      It is like a cyclist who strays on to the road, and you bash him with serious injuries. Then the police instead of going for motorist and charging him with dangerous driving/careless driving, you go for the cyclist @ careless cycling. Only in Zambia….!!!

  2. Mushota, what is your problem? You tell you do not know that It the hospital staff that admits and discharge a patient?

    The guy got what he deserves. This is a result of being a silly cadre. You do not need to blame the police. They are doing their work. Blame HH for promoting hatred and putting his supporter in the line of fire. He is turning them into suicide bombers and he does not care. Unfritunately it is backfiring on you guys. HH and UPND is now only displaying themselves as bad boys and uncivilised citizens who need to caged for the sake of the safety of law abiding citizens.

    • The law states that if you are threatened you can use any legal means at your disposal to repel that threat. Was the gun that was used to repel the said threat licenced? Why did the UpDn cadres block the road?
      IF CHAMA FAILED THREATENED THEN HE HAD A RIGHT TO USE ANY MEANS AT HIS DISPOSAL TO REPEL THE THREAT.
      2016 ECL NAFUTI NAFUTI

    • Ndiye bu dalo ubu manje Chils, what happened to doing things in self defence? Id1ots like Mushaukwa and the rest of the gullible cadres from UPeND are alive simply because it’s illegal to kill…otherwise basopo!

  3. The minister s reasoning leaves much to be desired@he was discharged and arrested to help in investigation,how do u arrest someone who u want to help in investigation and how did the police kno his discharge time.kwena its zambia the real africa.

  4. The ruffian should have been maimed beyond repair. How does behave like Mulobezi belongs to his uncle HH?

    • But he is not in this case because he is not a cadre. When there are by-elections cadres from both UPND & PF behave like lunatics. It becomes a competition of who will show the stupidest stints to be recognised by their pay masters. Continue shooting each other and dying while we make a living and build houses. Mwanya mwakulafwilamo fye bule!

  5. So they arrested him in his bed, or they arrested him outside his bed hence the disappearance? Is he back in the bed now? Despair of trying to read news from Zambia…

    • Mushaukwa was discharged and since police had not talked to him yet because he was in hospital, police picked him to the station so that he can officially make a statement. But because Zambian politics plays out like a satirical drama, some leaders of the opposition UPND claimed that he had disappeared. Most likely both sides the UPND and PF cadres were misbehaving leading to the shooting of this man/cadre.
      Zambian politics are full of propaganda such that whatever you hear or read must be questioned. Desperation and hooliganism abinds with these political nincompoops!

  6. Isn’t it so interesting that the guy who was shot at was arrested for threatening violence while the guy who shot him is walking free? I think the real reason he was arrested was because he talked. PF has really outdone themselves.

    • Do not pretend you do not know what happened. You star bandit was the the instigator. Chama was better at defending himself and your bandit got what was coming for his evil intentions. Yes, bandits at times end up being shot at. This does not erase their banditry.

      Never play with guns if you are an amateur, you will be killed. This is a lesson for you UPND. Violence bigots violence. You will not be tolerated this time. You will get a message that will make you understand not to be violent.

      Concentrate on promoting Pilato and let PF and EL concentrate on whacking your under 5 HH in 2016. You no clue what is coming in the next few months. You will be truly shown to be nothing but a tribal and losers’ party

  7. A government in real panic. Is it so difficult for ZP to just communicate to the interested parties about what they are doing other than doing it in the dark. What a country. In civilised countries police go on air to tell the nation about what they are doing on serious national cases so that there’s transparency to avoid harmful speculations.

    • You, where have you heard police seeking the permission from the relative of criminal to prosecute him. They guys acted as an individual and will be charged as such.

      Do not lie to us about countries you have never even visited nor have any idea about the nature of their police work of judicial system. Let the useless chap pay for his deeds. This is the publicity HH wanted, unfortunately he is putting someone other than himself in trouble.

      If you try it, you will also suffer the same fate. “Do not try this with BOMA”

    • BAWISHI, WHICH CIVILISED COUNTRY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? IN THOSE COUNTRIES POLICE ARE EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN WHAT THE POLICE HAVE DONE IN ZAMBIA. THEY WILL ARREST YOU IN HOSPITAL JUST LIKE THE ZP HAVE DONE AND MORE. MWILABEPA ABANTU JUST BECAUSE THE CULPRIT IS YOUR UNCLE OR GRANDPA.

    • Which serious national case? A cadre and another cadre shooting each other becomes a serious national case? This country has no time for that kind of careless living. It is not a serious case even if it is my brother who get shot behaving like a headless chicken, it will not be a serious national case.
      We have women being murdered by unknown people for body parts including an albino lady in Lundazi and you want us to be informed about Mushaukwa and Chama’s foollishness? Get serious with life!

  8. Bloggers bloggers bloggers hold yo fire. Don’t rely on online media for facts. There’s only half or twisted truth reported here. No wonder you are failing to comprehend why mushaukwa is charged and the driver who opened fire is not. You need to be in Zambia to understand this story otherwise you will just shooting in air

    • I feel its important to reply to yebo Nkosi and sponge Bob because they are debating as if Chama is above the law. Remember HH was attacked in Ndola and he did not shoot but escaped through the roof. Chama had other means to avoid the incidence but chose to kill. My appeal to all Zambians is lets respect life and treat it as sacred, the moment we start to kill and steal with no conscious the nation will descend in total confusion to the point of no return. We need to stop these criminals hiding behind a political party called PF.

    • Dull comment as usual, total rubb!sh from Sido Mark, why cant you just the f*ck up, for you ceased to make sense a long time ago!…rubb!sh!

  9. Bloggers, hold your fire indeed……………

    1. Mushaukwa was discharged and then arrested: What did the hospital tell the UPND team when they went to the hospital and found that Mushaukwa was not in the ward bed? Is Hon. Jack Mwiimbu so unreasonable as to issue a statement of lies?

    2. What is the truth regarding PF Secretary General Chama in all this? Did he or his driver actually shoot at Mushaukwa and wounded him or not?

    3. What do the Police say?

    You see people, the best weapon against rumour mongering and the attendant violence is transparency and truth. Not what is happening now. Are we so blood thirsty?

    • Mwiimbu issued that statement because he knows it is music to your ears. He was trying to gun for sympathy. Typical of bakachema.

  10. So what is being done about Chama? The victim has accused him of doing the shooting yet the police have not even mentioned him in connection with the shooting. Why was the victim discharged in the dark of the night without his family or friends knowing? Why was he arrested without people knowing. PF in particular Chama, what goes around comes around. Nothing lasts for ever.

    • You UPND, it does not matter when or how the bandit was discharged from hospital and charged by the police for his criminal activites.

      Useless UPND. Imagine a criminal attacks HH and shoots in self defence, are going to arrest the attacker or the one who was defending himself. You the cadres, just like your leaders are truly under 5s.

      Useless party of uncivilised people

  11. If HH has an intelligence service as he claims, why did not seek a briefing first from the hospital staff or doctor in charge before going to an empty ward let alone going all the way to Livingstone only to bounce. Was his intelligence service asleep

    • Bwana, HH and his team visited the victim and it was on camera. HH later on, that’s when Jack Mwiimbu issued a statement that the patient they visited earlier has suspiciously disappeared. Of course for them to issue that the should have checked the hospital records and there was no record to show he has been discharged. Blogger, please lets learn to just reason a little bit. This is not asking for too much i guess

  12. @ Debo,

    Exactly my thoughts. Additionally, Ministry of health have a standard discharge procedure. Patients are discharged during the doctors’ round in the morning, never at midnight. The question is who discharged him at midnight since the doctor on call is for emergencies only and does not deal with noncritical cases let alone discharges? Why did the hospital authorities fear to reveal the patients where-about in the morning when people were asking? when someone is discharged, it is recorded in both the nurses’ record book (which is kept at the nurses desk/station for everyone to see) and in the patient’s file cabinet. Honestly, something is fishy here.
    Our prayer is for the police not hurt the already injured person. They should allow professionals to care for his wounds…

    • The chap is only a bandit. He got what he deserves. Blame it on the supper bandit HH who sponsored and trained.

      You wanted this ba UPND do not blame it on anyone but on yourselves for starting that violence. It only backfired on you.

      Mwapya, if you continue many will end up in trouble. This is not how you want to be popular, behaving like lunatics!!!

      Malabishi!!!

  13. Part 2 of now done. Lets wait for the 3rd part. This comedy has 6 parts. He is on police bond so you can visit him at home.

  14. So what intel does HH claim to have when he can’t even know where is shot member is? ke ke ke ke ….Clowns!

  15. pf pf pf full of maggots the hospital can only discharge patients who have fully recovered and the police have no powers in discharging any patient in the hospital. this has happened because mushaukwa has revealed the truth. dont forget today its upnd cadre tomorrow it will be a pf cadres undergoing the same. zambia is not for certain groups of tribe but all. if not then its correct to say one zambia one nonsense .its better to divide this country the way it should be.

    • Ranting black bull! Re-read what you posted, because it is a lot of nonsense tantrum! Cadres from both PF and UPND are a menace and the earlier they annihilate each other the better for the rest of us. Political hooligans!

  16. What business has a whole Minister of Home Affairs to do with announcing the arrest of a person charged with a simple bailable offence like threatening violence in a political confrontation in Lstone to QFm radio in Lska, surely there are more serious matters the Hon can focus on. I thought this was simple police work! Where is the “hard working” Police Spokesperson, Charity? Or has the bwana minister reverted to his office orderly mould of old in ZCCM, where he was used to taking orders before Mikaele gave him a life line in PF?

    • A minister can make a statement on such matters. The disappearance of a person injured in politically influenced circumstances is not a simple matter.

    • Thanks Prof Lule. That’s good insight. I was surprised why a Deputy Minister has to meddle in a police case. And beyond that he continues to denigrate the opposition party.

    • Prof Lule, I would like to believe the radio station called the minister for a comment and not the other way round…see?

  17. I voted for pf in 2011 and 2015.but i never new that president lungu was,and is a failure.even the way criminal chama is coming on this issue you can know that he is the who shot at the upnd suporterbut why?people power are abusing the powers.am thinking were this country under where we are going.am disapointed as a person who voted for edgar lungu.no employment,poor salaries,high cost of living.katwishi mwandini…

  18. WANZELU @ 1.7#

    ” LUNGU FIRE CHAMA NOW OTHER WISE… What?

    WANZELU .. Really name Larry Mweetwa.

    You are such a f00l who constantly wants to hear his own voice. Just hear yourself.

    Sickos likes you are the culprits that are discouraging people drom joining UPND.

    You have an eye consumed with hate and satanism. You preach hate and expect good thinking to follow you teachings.

    • Larry Mweetwa ‘aka’ WANZELU is mental case

      In his mind, he believes that he is really making a case for HH. When he is doing the opposite.

      What he does not realise is that UPND in lusaka see or read him as a delusional, attention seeking person who is causing trouble in the UPND UK Branch.

      I have known this chap from secondary schools days.

    • @Almighty so what if he is larry Mweetwa .He talking a lot of sense. lungu should fire the blood thirsty Chama because he is danger to society. He insulted all the Tongas of southern province. Almighty alias Bwalya should know that Tribalism can blind to see good in others.Zambia is now on the cross roads and if this situation continues then there will be no Zambia .We shall not sit akimbo always and watch things un fold. We shall intervene for the sec of our children.

    • Simply put Wanzelu is an imbecile, retard, cretin, miscreant and a moron who is at variance with the tenets of his party, which I thought likes preaching inclusiveness? May be he is the right person the party thought could lay bare the true colors of his party:tribalism, reginoalism, non tolerant to other tribes and all the bad vices that go with BAD people! What a waste of sp*rm!

  19. Hilda Malama is true that you are actually a man and that your father committed suicide because he found you on top of your mother and that you produced both your younger “brother” and “sister” with your mother.

    • muzamai go help hilda malama or better still go help yourself with your mother. After all hilda malama and muzamai were born in the same kraal.

    • If I shoot you for tresspassing in my wall fenced premises at 23:00 hrs, you will also be in cells while nursing a bullet wound. If Mushaukwa got shot in the commission of an offence and the shooter acted in self defence, he can be arrested. Kindly stop being simpletons! Both Chama and Mushaukwa are cadres who can be real menace!

  20. tafikwete incito to know who shot and who didnt shoot the police knws very well how to handle the cases so if u a thief and u a being shot while stealing jst know tt the one who shot u will b scot free. if he gives the proper reason why he blocked the road then he will b free as well

    • You are living in the dark primitive age. You only discharge a fire arm if your life is in present and clear danger. You dont shoot at a running/escaping thief. That will be murder. Hence I say this is a Banana republic.

    • PM, that’s a dull comment there! You don’t shoot at an escaping thief, really? Where do you ”stay”?

  21. Where is Mushaukwa now? The Police say they released him on police bond and therefore don”t know (or care) his whereabouts. Can someone confirm where he actually is? Remember cases of Timothy Kandeke and Jack Shamwana???????????

  22. I DOUBT THE ACTION OF THE POLICE TOOK TO ARREST MUSHAUKA AND LATE BOND HIM WHEN PILATO WAS DENIED TO BE BONDED ON THE SAME CHARGE.

    PF HAS BEEN A VIOLENT PARTY WHERE THEY FEEL THEY WILL LOOSE VOTE. CAN UPND WITHDRAW FROM THIS RACE AND WAIT FOR 2016 SO THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULTY FOR THEM TO HIRE THEIR CRIMINALS TAKEN IN ALL CONSTITUENCIES.

    IF MUSHAUKA WAS THE ONE WHO TRIGGERED ON CHAMA FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF, WHAT COULD THE POLICE DO? WILL MUSHAUKA GO SCOT FREE?

    POLICE MUST INTEROGATE ALSO CHAMA AND PUT HIM BEHIND THE BARS.

  23. I think every Tom, Dick, Harry and Jane seem to be missing the point here. Your focus is so much on your political affiliates that you’re forgetting the problem at hand. This shooting that occurred can happen to you, your friends, and loved ones. You could have been a bystander and been shot by Davis Chama. What we’re trying to focus on is this not happening again and arrest the shooter and charge him. This is not a joke and when it’s you affected is when you will want justice. How can someone fire a weapon where there are by standers probably with children? A patient is discharged at midnight isn’t that bizarre? Then the police so happen to know he’s been discharged and arrest him for questioning? The police owes a duty of care to citizens and could have questioned him in the…
