TWO United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres and a Patriotic Front (PF) supporter are nursing gunshot wounds after the two rival groups clashed in Mulobezi.

Police spokesperson Charity Chanda said in an interview that the incident happened yesterday around 11:00 hours in Sichili.

Mrs Chanda said police have instituted investigations into the shooting to establish which of the rival groups discharged the firearm.

Mrs Chanda named the injured as Mbangu Mbangu, 36, Sakubita Namushi, 30, both UPND members, while the PF cadre has been identified as Simanga Siboli, 37.

“We recovered two empty cartridges at the scene and one of the injured was rushed to Livingstone Central Hospital to have the bullet removed after medical officers in Mulobezi failed to do so,” she said.

Mrs Chanda said the incident happened after the two rival camps had a misunderstanding, which resulted in the clash.

“We are actively investigating this matter so that we know exactly what happened, after which we will be able to give more details,” Mrs Chanda said.

She said no arrests have been made so far.

People of Mulobezi go to the polls today to elect their member of Parliament in a by-election.

  1. These PF and blunt guns culture?? Thank God those Davies Chama guns only wound people.
    What did Libongani say yesterday, that there will be peace?

    • Upnd forgots defending mulobezi seat with blood. The upnd blood biber is in the area so expect more blood shed.

    • Lungu has now allowed guns to be used during campaigns. What a shame! If this continues unabated then a civil war is imminent in Zambia.

      ZWD reported yesterday that it was a PF DC who shot at the two UPND supporters and a fellow PF cadre. LT please try to get the facts correct before showing us your ignorance.

      PF members are now using guns to scare the UPND because they know that, people hate PF with passion.

      PF has increasingly become a danger to peace in Zambia by resorting to gun totting. Very soon UPND members will make their own guns and start fighting back if the police are so inept to lock up the culprits.

      Lungu has now authorised the use of guns by not having Chama arrested. Now most PF cadres will start using guns to intimidate opposition support.

      Viva UPND.

    • @sponge bob.

      Are you so dull as not to understand what exactly happened in Mulobezi? Chama shot at the UPND supporters , nothing happened, then now a PF DC shots at fellow PF cadre and UPND supporter still the PF police are inept to act.

      If anything, its your stupid PF which wants to win Mulobezi seat by crook or hook through spilling of blood. This is all evidence to be tabled before the Hague in support of Western province to be independent of Zambia.

    • The intelligence of ZP is amazing, or is the reporting. Two UPND cadres and one PF cadre are shot from the same gun and the Police are investigating which parties fired at whom?

  3. Lets face it,upnd is a violent party,the violence they will unleash on me for calling them what they really are on this forum,is a great example….watch this space.They know very well that they cant win elections in mulobezi hence the violence,ati mapatizya formula.

  4. Since coming to power, PF leadership has never come out to publicly condemn political violence. Consequently, violence has been nurtured & is escalating especially in areas where PF feels it does not have strong support. The truth is that this attitude is not in our country’s interest. It is recipe for chaos. Some of us love our country. Let us not allow a few power-hungry people who want to cling to power at all cost to destroy our lovely country.

  5. Kakakakaduuuuu. A human being pulls a trigger on another human being for political Gain!! What a shame. Just wish one day when the truth is known about (these new human rangers)the guilty parties can join General Kanene.

    • There is nothing great about zambia now as we keep on making it dogs dinner. Fish your little brain out of your rear

    • hahaha! Fish your little brain out of your rear! Classic. But really dude, fish it out, thats why your utterances are complete sh!t. Get it, coz your brain is in your rear…. ah forget it, forgot i was talking to an empty headed PF cadre. Wyclif am talking to you in case your ka small brain failed to register.

  6. His Excellence president Edgar Lungu kindly have a cabinet meeting so that you table the issue of UPND using violence in mulobezi. Tell your ministers to create a law that will ban political parties if they use violence during the campaigns. Further include also a law that will ban the post. We need sanity in the system

    • THESE ARE BAD INDICATORS WHICH IF LEFT AN ATTENDED TO SHALL ONE DAY RESULT INTO CHAOS AND IT WILL BE OUR SECURITY PEOPLE LIKE POLICE TO BLAME. CHANDA SHORT ONE AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM, TODAY IS THREE UPND PEOPLE SHORT AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN LIGHT AS A STORY. I AM WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OUR SECURITY (PF) POLICE ARE BEHAVING LIKE A JOKE UNTIL THAT DAY PEOPLE SHALL TAKE LAWLESSNESS BECAUSE OF BEING FORCED.

    • That’s a good question. My theory is that Mulobezi is a litmus test and PF would like to use it for its propaganda campaign of 2016 should they win it. Hence, the violence and large presence of police officers. Six district commissioners have been camping in mulobezi for the past thirty days campaigning. PF wants mulobezi so that they can use it against the B.A movement that is slowly gaining ground.

  7. upnd think we a so dull they start a violence so tt pipo see that its pf since its the one in power we know yo tricks. why did u go to pf camp if u a violent free? don’t fool us

  8. This violence is being perpetrated by UP and DOWN who feel they own the people of Western Province.Today we shall tell them off thru the ballot.Viva PF VIVA Lungu ! Abash cow dung manure !

    • THESE ARE BAD INDICATORS WHICH IF LEFT AN ATTENDED TO SHALL ONE DAY RESULT INTO CHAOS AND IT WILL BE OUR SECURITY PEOPLE LIKE POLICE TO BLAME.

  9. This is an extension of the Mapatizya violent formular embrassed by UPND .They want to win by intimidating people because they are fully aware that PF has actually taken over Western which they have been claiming to be their strong hold. Zwa !

  10. We want development in Western Province and not cow dung manure from Monze.We equally have animals too.We need good roads,schools and hospitals which PF is doing.What development can an opposition leader bring now because these are not general elections ! Lets not be cheated by a rich man pretending to love our elderly when in his village he has no heart for the poor people.

    • Look at this poor chap who doesn’t know cattle keeping bis the mainstay of Western Province economy. Can you really cast it away and embrace gun totting as development? Shame on you!

    • S Mbwangala, being a retard that you are, you cannot get the sense in Bo Mwiya’s post! Sometimes Westerners tend to make me wonder, why should we be tail enders to this Hypnotised Hyena which is finished politically…PF has brought zwelopili, so UpeNd amuzweee!…masipa amina!

  11. comments for those who insults a there bt y removing my comment wch expressed only my opinion without using insults?

  12. What a useless party is UPND. A party which has resorted to violence in its strong hold. How come there is violence in the UPND strong hold and yet none in the PF strong hold every time there are elections? The answer is that UPND does not want PF to gain ground it its (UPND) strong hold. what a dull strategy of intimidation.Just be strong coz come 2016 UPND will remain in Southern Province only. Shame on you.

    • Logic at times can be so stubborn for people like Truth Hates. Can anyone intimidate his own supporters? You only intimidate those you feel will go against you. In this case, given that Mulobezi is UPND stronghold as you say, who would find solace in intimidating the electorate? Dalo, dalo, dalo…. !

  13. Immediately you call me mapatizya, cow dung, monkey, *****, fool, six koloko, or anything closer to the low life metamorphism , I will definitely bite and chew those tu ma fingers so that you stop dissemination of your thoughts through these tools that feed you. After all I know you, though you pretend to be my good neighbours.

  14. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE OF MULOBEZI REMAIN IN UP AND DOWN AS THOUGH WE HAVE NO EYES TO SEE.IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT IN 2O16 UPND WILL PACK OR RATHER DISBAND……THEIR VOTES WILL ONLY COME FROM SOUTHERN PROVINCE AS USUAL USING THE NEGA NEGA FORMULA.

  15. This is an entire country swirling down the toilet flush one election at a time. It is sad. While this nonsense goes on your leaders are busy readying themselves for treatment abroad and snatching a piece from whatever they borrow for their own personal use. What a useless bunch of people! Disgusting!

  16. THESE ARE BAD INDICATORS WHICH IF LEFT AN ATTENDED TO SHALL ONE DAY RESULT INTO CHAOS AND IT WILL BE OUR SECURITY PEOPLE LIKE POLICE TO BLAME. CHANDA SHORT ONE AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM, TODAY IS THREE UPND PEOPLE SHORT AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN LIGHT AS A STORY.

  17. Instead of concentrating on progressive issues people are busy following politics and hurting each other. These cadres must ask themselves why doesn’t HH and EL engage in fist fights? They are clever and their safety is always insured. But these cadres are so dull and simply following to be given 20 kwachas and ending up in hospital. It is really harsh but these illiterate cadres must not be allowed to vote otherwise we will always end up with faggots running state affairs and drawing us backwards.

  18. Can we in Zambia for once not have parties not named MMD, PF or UPND. The ignorance and archaic nature of their cadres and supporters is infuriating. Yesterday Greece used Zambia as an example of nonsense, and today you are proving them right. Let us work hard pray to Jesus and find a new leadership not from the above mentioned.
