The ruling PF in Kitwe has refuted claims that their members yesterday in the district destroyed the UPND office which led to some youths injured and admitted to hospital.

PF Kitwe District Spokesperson Christopher Kang’ombe tells QFM News that the PF does not believe in politics of intimidation.

Mr. Kang’ombe says the PF believes that listening to divergent views and therefore promote responsible freedom of expression by either individuals or members of opposition political parties in Zambia.

He has explained that whoever participated in the reported violent incident did not represent the PF and therefore the party condemns any act of violence by both the youths masquerading as PF members and those from the UPND.

Mr. Kang’ombe says their preliminary investigations indicate that youths from both groups were armed with stones and has since urged the police in Kitwe to thoroughly establish more facts as to why Kitwe should become a battlefield for the youths.

He adds that the PF believes that young people must be productive, go oriented and well utilized in sectors of the economy that will propel Zambia to greatness.

The PF Kitwe District Spokesperson says the activities of yesterday fall short of even the basic minimum standards they expect from the current crop of youths adding that it is extremely regrettable that violence occurred.

  1. THAT IS WHAT YOU DO AND THE HIDE AND SEEK IN WORD CONSTRUCTION WHEN YOU ARE BEHIND THE SCENE IS BAD. WHY CAN’T YOU SAY MAY THE POLICE ARREST THOSE WHO WENT TO DAMAGE AND BEAT THE UPND PART OFFICIALS? I AM STARTING TO THINK AS TO WHY DID THE VICE PRESIDENT MENTIONED THAT “IT IS PROVOCATION TO GO TO CB OTHER OPPOSITION LEADERS”.

    • BALEIPONONAFYE BEKA BA UPND. INTERNAL WRANGLES AMONG THEMSELVES! OTHERS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH GBM WHILE OTHERS WANT GBM TO TAKE OVER FROM HH. PF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

  2. PF DOES NOT THINK WELL FOR ITS CITIZENS. I WANT TO ASK THOSE WHO ARE CONNECTED TO ZESCO TO ANSWER ME. LOOK AT THE CURRENT SITUATION OF POWER IN THE NAME OF LOADSHADING,
    LOOK AT AMERICA, MOST OF THIER DOMESTIC APPLIANCES ARE 110 INCLUDING STOVES, WHY CANT WE GO FOR SUCH AND SAVE ALOT OF POWER. IF WE CAN HAVE A DELIBERATE POLICY OF PHASING OUT THE 220 APPLIANCES AND ALLOW 110 APPLIANCES TO BE USED, WE SHALL FINISH THE LORD SHADING (220-110 =110) WE CAN EVEN EXPORT MORE POWER OUT. NOW IGNORANCE TO ARRIVE AT THIS HAS BLINDED MANY OF THE LEADERS ON THIS. WAIT FOR HH WHEN HE COMES NEXT YEAR HE WILL INTRODUCE THIS AND MINES SHALL ENJOY A LOT.

    • Answer, go and do your research and stop showing your lack of knowledge here. Power is constant and the simple formula is P=VxI, so if some equipment has its power rating of say 4400W, it simply means this:
      In Zambia and British Standards, P=VxI therefore the current needed to drive it is
      I= 4400/220 =20 Amps
      In the USA
      I=4400/110=400 Amps
      So what do you see? In America, for the same appliance, one draws so much current whilst in Zambia its only 20 Amps. The only thing is high voltage is so dangerous, it kills you in an instant! Even in North America, 220-240 V is commonly used in residential appliances for most high-power electrical appliances (ovens, furnaces, dryers, large motors, etc.) so that the supply current and supply wire size can be smaller. Higher power industrial…

  3. This is the party in government essentiall therefore admitin that they have failed to lead.You are I contrl of the police bab so whenthey fail who should we blame?Your statement confirms that you have failed.You have failed to protect us and we hope HH and UPNDwill protect us from rogues like your cadres.

  4. Edgar Lungu and Vice president Inonge Wina will answer those charges next year when they will be voted out because they have openly declared CB as their individual farms when not. Zambia is a free democratic country but this old woman tells HH not to go to CB as if she owns Zambia. Time will catch with you soon.

  5. THE SITUATION IS DEEPLY CONCERNING. I DONT BELIEVE ITS PF YOUTHS OR ANY STRUCTURE OF THE PF THE PERPETRATED THIS INCIDENCE. THE PROBLEM IS EVERYONE IS SCARED TO SAY IT. THIS WAS DONE BY THOSE THAT THINK THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL HOLD ON TO BLACK MOUNTAIN IS IF PF REMAINS IN POWER. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT BY THE JAREBOS TO INTIMIDATE THE OPPOSITION. KITWE IS SLOWLY BECOMING ZAMBIAS LITTLE SICILY. OBVIOUSLY THOSE IN POWER WILL LOOK THE OTHER WAY. EVEN TRUE MEMBERS OF PF ARE TIRED OF THIS BEHAVIOUR AND CONDEMN IT. SOON WE WILL SEE THOSE BRAVE ENOUGH START TO DEFECT. JAREBOS ARE TERRORISING KITWE. PEOPLE ARE SCARED.

  6. Christopher Kangombe Am really disappointed in you my friend.The monks at CBU supported you and even campaigned for you in the Riverside ward councillor election and we are happy that you will contest for the position of area mp for Kwacha Constituency.How can you be blind to such event that even a toddler can tell that it was all PF’s pologalamu to disturb the UPND meetings on the Copperbelt.I agree power corrupts even the most elect and good people in society.Is it because you want to be adopted by PF for Kwacha constituency in 2016 that you can sink so low as to make such a shallow statement sure ba Kangombe.

  7. Christopher Kang’ombe many Copperbelt students both present and former respect you for what a distinguished person/politician you have been until the moment you issued that empty statement above. Do not be like them, continue being who you have always been. Stand out

  8. CAMERAS DON T LIE BA PF. YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST, LYING CHEATING STEALING AND PLUNDERING; YOU ARE A PARTY FILLED WITH FEAR THAT IF YOU LOSE YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY TO ANSWER TO. VIOLENCE IS THE MOTTO OF PF. SHAME ON YOU BEHAVING LIKE THAT TO YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN.
