Copperbelt Minister Mwenya Musenge had to be rescued by Information Minister Chishimba Kambwili from angry PF youths who wanted to beat him up at Ndola’s Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe airport yesterday.

This was during the arrival of President Edgar Lungu who is in the Province on a five day working visit.The cadres carrying placards denouncing Mr Musenge said they are angered by the Minister’s allegations that President Lungu’s financiers are forcibly attempting to take over the Mimbula Mines in Chingola.

They say Mr Musenge has clearly demonstrated that he is not working in line with President Lungu’s administration and demanded for his immediate sacking.

The cadres wanted to lynch Mr Musenge in full view of other party and government officials but quick action by Mr Kambwili prevented further escalation of the situation.This was after the cadres failed to heed to pleas from police officers led by Copperbelt Police Commissioner Joyce Kasosa for them to retreat.

Mr Musenge who was visibly shaken by the action of the cadres was quickly whisked away by Mr Kambwili.But when reached for a comment, Mr Musenge said the cadres were sponsored by his enemies within the party.

Recently Mr.Musenge said that there were some people in the ruling party who wanted to hold him to ransom so that he could allow the takeover of a mine from the Chinese to Zambians, adding that this group of people had put him under pressure to receive bribes.His co-accused Christopher Yaluma has responded saying he did not benefit from the Chinese bribes. Yaluma was transfered from the ministry of mines in the previous cabinet reshuffle.The Chinese insist they are the legimate owners of the Mimbula dumps in Fitula area of Chingola and have been operating in Zambia since 2010 .

  1. This PF thugs will unleash this same treatment to Lungu himself when the time is ripe……..just wait and see. Maybe after losing 2016 or 2021 whichever, comes first.

    Mwenya Musenge will be fired soon, and Kambwili will be treated the same by the PF thugs.

    Lungu has suceesfully ushered lawlessness in this country.

    • I thought that we reconciled last Sunday, now we are kidnapping our students and children? Mwenya Musenge, they have come for you now.

    • Oh, what a lovely day. Oh, what a lovely. Hyenas are now tearing each other apart due to the 2016 electoral pressure! It’s coming – HH is coming! Viva UPND.

    • Why is PF mostly on the wrong side of issues? Mr. Mwenya surely is a very reasonable man; we need more of such people.

    • You have already “adopted” him without selection process? Yaba, now ba UPND have come out of slumber and seen the mighty PF at work, hey? . Miles Sampa is PF and he will forever be PF, he cannot make the big mistake GBM is regretting to have made. UPND is for Tongas and Tongas only thats why HH will for Southern Province, hahahahah. Signs of looming massive UPND defeat due to PF development agenda countrywide!

  2. Ba lungu please leave genuine PF members alone.We’ll vote u out.I’ve never seen a president to rule only 2years and loses.Lungu u’ll be the 1st one.Leave musenge alone.We need honest pipo not corrrupt MMD chaps in PF.We are the genuine PF membetrs and support Musenga.Musenga please stand yo own ground.If Lungu is playing with Kopala then he should respect himself.he should jst now leave state house.I have also heard that Miles Sampa has resigned.This is the end of lungu and RB.He has destroyed the country bcoz of lack of vision.He has destroyed the party we loved so much.Ba sata would not have allowed Zambia to be destroyed like this.How can inflation hit 14.3% from 7% within a month in a normal country which is not at war or facing economical sanctions.I’m still PF but annoyed with…

    • Moscow do not cheat because I know you that you are UPND and you want to write as if you are PF. You are fooling your self. The problem with you is that you comment foolishly on any incident using your little knowledge. If Sampa has resigned as Minister so what? Davies Mwila was D/Minister and GBM was Defence Minister they both resigned during Mr Sata and remained just MPs. So just be cool and do not fool your self that the opposition will come an turn Zambia into a paradise far from it if any you will be worse off.

  3. The police and the commissioner are all part of this lawlessness and are siding with different gangs in this corrupt lawless PF entity.

  4. This rule by government of excluding foreign participation in some sectors of economic activity will play out like the Zimbabwe land grabs or the visa debacle of SA. The intent falls far short of the consequences as in the two examples cited. What will be telling in the Zambian scenario will be glaring greed and callousness that has taken over the country’s political and economic life. Religion is not even helping…

  5. Hon Musenge what sayest thou? do u now understand how dirty politics have become, may u also leave in peace the other m,p who had a conscience to rescue his relative from cells just like your conscience cud not allow u to injustice to the chinese, viva justice in zambia, both of u ar great men,

  6. The police are pleading with and almost allow a minister to be lynched but with students its just to hammer . . .ANIMAL FARM!!!!

  7. What wrong did Mwenya Musenge commit for cadres to want to attack him? This is one way of Lungu showing displeasure with the revelation of his involvement with crooks. Edgar Lungu is a crook because all of a sudden the idiowt is so rich. He has connections with all these corrupt chaps all over Africa who bankroll any election if they have something they desire in a country. The selfish Edgar Lungu did not know that there is nothing for free; pay back time always comes. Mwenya Musenge has spilled the beans and Edgar is not happy. The PF thugs do not understand anything; they are just sponsored dogs like in Animal Farm where the pigs trained dogs to threaten any animal that disagreed with the pigs’ ideas. Edgar is very happy that Musenge is being targeted by thugs; Edgar will not even…

  8. PF cadres are unruly and must focus on re-electing Musenge- they are fools and must do what all fools do- keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result!

  9. Anyone who knows Hon Musenge can not dispute the fact that he is an honest man and most cadres do not like straight people!

    • Yes, he is a honest man who wants to do what is right. If the PF cadres feel aggrieved, why not take the matter to court.
      The Chinese have working there since 2010, what has changed now? leave Honorable Musenge alone, he is a good man.

  10. Kambwili are you innocent your self or you are the one who sent the same youths ? Iwe Lungu Kambwili corruptly grabbed the tender fro JAICA i luanshya to lay water pipes the whole luanshya . how can pf party be popular when it is only the leaders who are befitting < Lungu if you are serious with corruption follow Kambwili and his company mwamona . other wise kuno ku luanshya mu kemako ne lyenu

  11. OF THE ALL THE DECISIONS I HAVE MADE IN LIFE. OF WHICH SOME HAVE BEEN MISTAKES THE ONE DECISION THAT I KNOW HISTORY WILL PROVE TO HAVE BEEN RIGHT IS THE ONE I MADE TO WITHDRAW MY SUPPORT FOR PF AFTER SATA DIED! I SLEEP WITH A FREE CONSCIOUS KNOWING THAT I DID NOT IN ANYWAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUFFERING WE ARE ALL ENDUARING BECASUE OF THE INCOPETENCE OF OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT. LETTING LUNGU AND RB TAKE OVER PF AND RUNNING THE COUNTRY HAS TURNED OUT TO BE THE WORST EXPERIMENT EVER!!!!! MAYBE ONEDAY I WILL BE PF AGAIN BUT NEVER WHILE LUNGU AND RB ARE IN CHARGE. NEVER. HE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PERFECT BUT I MISS SATA! HOW I WISH GUY SCOTT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A POSITION TO KEEP THE HOPES OF A BETTER ZAMBIA ALIVE. LUNGU AND RB HAVE BEEN A DISASTER! !!!!

  12. These uneducated Uncouth Thugs, planning to assault someone who is bringing transparency, & morals to their Failing Party. They then wonder why they are so hungry, & diseased??
    This is the sole reason Zambia remains an Underdeveloped Failed State, 50 years after independence.
    Its thus disheartening to hear “BIG BELLIED” Politicians like Jean Kapata, rant to Dopey Zambia’s that U.P.N.D, are the merchants of violence in Zambia, when all including these daft P.F cadres know where the real hotbed of violence is.
    Before some of you Brainless P.F, cadres start ranting, I am NOT a U.P.N.D member!
