Police thwart PF attack on UPND secretariat

Share

Suspected Patriotic Front (PF) cadres this afternoon attempted to storm the UPND secretariat in Lusaka’s Rhodespark area in an act of retaliation following yesterday’s fracas in Matero.

Suspected UPND cadres yesterday attacked and destroyed PF offices in Matero constituency after their rally was disrupted by the police.
Quick action by the police prevented the PF cadres from storming the secretariat.

And UPND Secretary General Steven Katuka has told QTV News that police were alerted upon hearing that PF cadres were matching to the secretariat.

Mr. Katuka says this kind of barbaric behavior from the PF is unacceptable.

He has wondered how peace will be guaranteed during the campaign period if such things begin to happen before the official campaigns.
Mr. Katuka however, advised UPND youths manning the secretariat to cooperate with the police as they were there to provide security.

  1. But ba upnd cadres sibamvera…..They have again dressed themselves in PF attire to attack themselves……. This is what I expect to hear from ba kudos, Frank bwalya, mumbi phiri and ba eddy…..

    • Having worked in several war torn countries I say this is not a good sign of things. Such acts of agitation by the UNITED PARTY FOR NATIONAL DESTRUCTION (UPND) are tantamount to stoking a fire which can easily get out of control the Hungry Hyena (HH) being a blood thirsty cretin of an animal should man up and condemn the cowardly acts by his thugs who are looking for any excuse to start trouble, how silly can some people get??? Their brains are not evolved to the same level as normal human beings..cretins is what they are..hopeless, useless what nonsense!!!..
      We won’t be taken for fools by these blood thirsty animals!

    • Don’t tell me police ran out of tear gas, when just yesterday they had sacks and sacks of tear gas at the upnd rally.

    • Good day,

      I have just heard that the police actually allowed the PF Thugs to walk past central to go and attack UPND officers at the secretariat but when the UPND super thugs beat up the alcoholic weak PF minion thugs then the police quickly went there. Lolest

    • Both PF and UPND will find themselves at the Hague/ICC. HH has a lot to lose in terms of his International Business and Professional reputation and image while the others have little or no interest in their reputations. He needs to be wary of those who may advise him that it is time to return violence for violence. He needs to restrain his cadres even though it may be challenging at times when severely provoked, they need to use Martin Luther King non violence approaches instead.

    • SO YOU KNOW WHAT UPND CADRES ARE DOING, YES? I WONDER WHAT THEIR END GAME IS, WHY DRESS LIKE PF AND ATTACK YOURSELF? BUSHILU UBU BANE.

    • This is Lungu’s PFoolish strategy to either force a postponement of the elections or get UPND to boycott the elections. Lungu is desperate to “win” and wants to use the same strategy he used against Miles Sampa in Kabwe in 2014. Zambians have to fight for their rights to free and fair elections. That’s why
      #ChagwaMustFall

    • Those four knuckleheads will say anything to please Lungu, their IQ’s are two low to be independent thinkers.
      I hope they get paid well enough for being dumb blind loyalists. Eddy & kudos are the dumbest!!!

  2. Mr Kachema GS how do you allow your youths to attack PF and burn their offices and denounce the Pf from attacking UPND secretariat? Shame on you

  3. IN THREE MONTHS ZAMBIANS HAVE A CHOICE TO CHANGE THE DESTINY OF THE COUNTRY BY CHOOSING THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE PRESIDENCY POSITION. BELOW IS A COMPARISION BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR POLICTICAL PLAYERS:
    LUNGU POPOULARLY KNOW AS “ME TOO”
    – Current PF presidential candidate
    – Encourages violence and cannot win on peaceful terms. Lungu just use money and not intimidate or kill people.
    – Lawyer but “Awa sure!” very different from the late LPM. History of failure as lawyer
    – Accused of swindling a client and found guilty
    – Highest cost of living and corruption levels under his presidency
    – Worst currency performance during his presidency
    – Lost priorities as he commissions everything like foreign shopping malls that least benefit the Zambian people
    – Increases his own salary in bad…

  4. HAKAINDE HICHILEMA POPULARLY KNOW AS HH
    – Current UPND presidential candidate
    – Economist and successful businessman
    – Accused of privatization which was actually done by the government and had no to little involvement other than consultative work.
    – History of success – turn things around
    – Understands the fundamentals of the economy
    – Does not believe in heavy borrow but been economically independent
    – Articulates issues and deals with them in a proper manner
    – Focused and understands how to prioritize
    – Visionary and forward thinking planner

    • Seriously dude. Enriched himself from undervaluing assets. In the first place he should not have been purchasing those assets. Conflict of interest. Speaks to his morals and values. Defend all you want. It was unethical behaviour.

    • Nono. Prove it??? The fact Lungu defrauded a client and facts are there to speak for themselves. Plus HH was not the one handling the whole privatization. It was Grant Thornton who received the money for the services rendered. HH was an employee/associate of Grant Thornton. Above it all, the government of the day was the decided if they thought Grant Thornton not HH was wrong in their evaluation they should have requested for a revaluation by another firm?? plus the finance minister back then was not stupid not to understand and make the right choice in Zambia’s best interest

  5. The choice is clear. Please can all well meaning Zambians stand up against violence, corruption and incompetency. Zambia deserves better and the time is now. Please ensure you VOTE OUT LUNGU on August 11 for a better Zambia we cannot have people like Fr. Bwalya in the political scene again. The chap is demonically possessed. God have mercy on your sole Bwalya. Even as former man of God you cannot behaviour like you are doing. Shame on you!!!

  6. Why you shouldn’t vote for HH
    – He has acquired a huge debt within a short period, contracted lots of infrastructure while most Zambians go hungry, because priorities.
    – He has abused the POA, always instructing the police to disturb & frustrate the ruling party
    – He has made deals with courts in order to drop some of the charges from wanted persons like Rupiah, Dora etc
    – HH has watched mealie-meal prices go haywire, he has watched the local currency go haywire but anyway, it’s global

    Don’t vote for HH!

    • These fully describes PF. People know the truth so you sound very stupid trying to shield the truth. Please tell your incompetent boss not to be coward and just campaign if he thinks he is popular. Also tell him to start packing his bags

    • My bad sparrow. We are on the same team. A better Zambia for all. Let’s fight for our country. We can’t have an incompetent president who always results to violence instead of doing the right thing for our people

  7. This is a positive first from the police whom we have to accept as exclusive employees of the PF and not Zambians. I am still reeling from shock that they have actually come to the rescue of non-PF Zambians. Congrats and may the spirit that possessed them today to carry out this peace mission continue to possess them until we wrestle power from the thugs. Unbelievable, I might say.

  8. katuka Why complain about pf cadres u asked for it and you are very lucky we ve professional police otherwise the way u insult them u feel those cadres of yos can manage to stop powerful pf.

    • Jkalusa which powerful PF cadres when We clobbered you right in your bedroom matero.Stop and ask your selves why ?Go to the drawing board before you make the next move.because next time we shall start to clobber you and arrest you take you to police.If they release you we shall follow you and finish you of.

  9. At least police are being professional. Well done this time around. All violent cardres should be stopped in their tracks.

  10. THIS IS TOTAL STUPID.ITY BY PF YOUTH CADRES. ALWAYS REVENGING FOR NOTHING. WHEN DID UPND PLAN TO UNDRESS PF WOMEN IF IT COMES TO 50- 50?

  11. Upnd and it’s leadership are very violent, blood thirsty and desperate for power to an extent of dressing their cadres pf regalia and make them asault each other all in the name of getting to plot one.shame devil worshipers( upnd).

    • Sonta epo…. blablablabla….. I think this is one of the most stupid slogans of all times. PF you do better

    • YOU CREATE A SLOGAN AND IT BACK FIRES ON YOU.
      Ok SONTA
      ?#?who? converted 5 brand new vehicles at state house worth k5 million in just 15 months avobola
      Add yours, SONTA umutengo wabunga,
      Team this is a good slogan it has backfired on them, let’s remind them of how they have messed up this country, please where ever you see them saying SONTA hit them with these messages just copy and paste.
      Below are the ten selected key statistics that should convince anyone with some minimum education and knowledge that indeed we have become an economic basket case instead of being a bread basket economy:
      1. # SONTA 800% increase in external debt ceiling from K20 billion in 2011 to K160 billion in 2016
      2. 1 # SONTA 31% increase in domestic debt ceiling from K13 billion to K30 billion
      3. # SONTA…

    • This is a very good one indeed, I like the slogan, Sonta Epo Wabomba! Ifintu ni Lungu again and again.

  12. UPND is trying pf’s patience.HH’s appetite for state house will soon land him into political disoder.

  13. Having worked in several war torn countries I say this is not a good sign of things. Such acts of agitation by the UNITED PARTY FOR NATIONAL DESTRUCTION (UPND) are tantamount to stoking a fire which can easily get out of control the Hungry Hyena (HH) being a blood thirsty cretin of an animal should man up and condemn the cowardly acts by his thugs who are looking for any excuse to start trouble, how silly can some people get??? Their brains are not evolved to the same level as normal human beings..cretins is what they are..hopeless, useless what nonsense!!!..
    We won’t be taken for fools by these blood thirsty animals!

  14. Upnd cadres are stopped by zp from holding the rally they go to their opponents offices and starts breaking. To upnd that is ok. They are a peaceful party. All the do is justifyi g all their wrong doing.
    Please put away your mapatizya formula we are not interested.

  15. Ba civilian kopola pretending as if you are soldiers very interesting..but keep the peace guys and catch those UPND thugs pretending to be PF.

    2016 ECL nafuti

    • @2020 vision keep cool young man.This time we shall show how politics is done.You will receive the salt just like Mugabe warned.

  16. Political violence is yet to start. The race is too tight. UPND will not be easily intimidated by PF hence the scuffles. Why should you resort to violence when it HH or Edgar who will be enjoying after August 11 while you guys who are fighting continue to live in poverty and poor health care. Just get the money when they give it to you to cause violence and use to empower yourselves.

  17. I know for a fact that those were, as already alluded to by my previous commentators, are UPND cadres dressed as PF cadres matching to destroy their own Secretariat. Fact. As Mumbi Phiri would say, they are switching regalia like monkeys.

  18. The escalating violence can be stopped by the leader who is in state house.How did others manage?

  19. There is a common police tactic whereby such things can be prevented by hitting the main organisers of such evil acts .We all know from the past that Kabimba while working as PF secretary general organised ba Pompwe to escort him to the ACC offices as a way of intimidating officers there. The same could be true with what is happening now. These crimes may have some hidden political influence .The police will do the country a huge favour by targeting the people financing these despicable crimes. Nonetheless it is fair to say , police action is now influenced by political directives not evidence of crime as a result of which politicians are blameless even when they could be behind all this. Lungu needs to be above selective justice and act.

  20. Break down of law and order ,They are failing in every sphere of running the country ,God help us,everything has gotten worse under there watch

  21. All well meaning Zambians must blame hh and his new friends like guy scott,gbm!!HH IS VERY PROVACATIVE!!HOW CAN HH CALL AN ELECTED PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU A DRUNKARD AND EXPECT NOT TO ANNOY MANY PF LOVERS?HH’S DESPERATION FOR STATE HOUSE MAY CAUSE WAR IN ZAMBIA IF LEFT UNCHECKED!!!plus how can upnd damage pf’s offices in matero then expect pf cadres not to react?UPND FORGET THAT ALL URBAN CONSTITUENCIES IN LUSAKA AND COPPERBELT ARE UNDER PF!!!LETS FACE IT,CAN UPND CADERS MATCH PF CADRES IN LUSAKA OR CB?BIG NO!!if the police didnt stop these pf cadres,today that RENTED UPND SECRETARIAT COULD HAVE GONE!!!THESE TONGAS CALL HH A RICH MAN WHEN HE FAILED TO BUY THE OLD SECRETARIAT HOUSE ON LAGOS ROAD 3 YRS AGO AT K2.5MILLION AND OPTED TO RENT THEIR NEW OFFICES K8 000 A MONTH!!AN INDIAN MAN…

    • Is it lie Lungu is a drunkard fullstop.He is fit to be president.Let him deny ,why speak on his behalf.

  22. The psychology of a desperate man. They are very dangerous and jittery at the possibility of losing the 6th time, how they do they face their wives and children who they have promised to sleep in state house. HH has lost so many elections that he has no confidence that he can win this one.
    Now all Zambians must know that a desperate man is a very dangerous man. He is so afraid of elections that he will use foul language just to cause violence. He just can’t stand the now obvious possibility of losing for the last time and being kicked out of UPND by the likes of Jack mwimbu Gary nkombo.

  23. The question is Y did the PF cadres go to a UPND rally in the first place when they had theirs in Bauleni?Always violent minded.

  24. Ba Lsk I spent almost 5 minutes of my precious life writing that comment which you haven’t put up! Guys now this is getting serious! Elo fyachiba efya manu muli chi comment yandi nomba imwe ba mambala chaba shani mule womba shani eh? Ba Lsk wa tampa nomba ukutumpa better fall in line guys, fall in line. Instead of blocking such cretins as lutuku, dull commentator, buck teeth, fake katondo, rucy, wapanshi and the UPND/ ZWD other cowards who will be the first to run away if things go ballistic.

    • Listen to your language. That is why LT has blocked you. Good job ba LT. God bless you. Stop this Frank Bwalya in the name of 2020Vision. If you haven’t realized 2020Vision there are more anti Lungu not because we hate him but the man is plainly incompetent. He has failed to do the job. What else do you want us to say!?

  25. I fail to understand those who doubt UPND and HH as violent party. Have you forgotten how HH fought with MMD in North Western province? If UPND fought MMD and today its fighting PF can you say UPND is provoked ? Thank God their god is going back to milk animals after August elections

    • Alternatively there you could date 2020VisionHe seems like a pervert full of insults and could need a woman. He will keep you very busy and away from the site so we can have clean (insult free) discussions. You can both spend time talking about your incompetent president while we find solutions for a better Zambia. We can’t continue like running a country where there is fuel shortages, power shortages, food shortages then what are doing in office?

  26. A former priest claims the PF cadres are actually UPND cadres. PF ba MMD allowed you to operate freely why are you behaving as if you are from the stone ages denying your friends space to operate

  27. Lungu the man who is supposed to be in charge is silent, where are you Lungu. Your cadres commit violence and you keep quite. Your silence will turn our country upside down, your cadres need direction and discipline, they are always pepetrating violence. PF as a party you need to take responsibility, we getting tired of you blaming others for the mess in the country, it is utterly stupid to blame others when you in charge. If you have failed just step down

  28. HH MUST BE TAUGHT A LAST LESSON NOT PHYSICAL BUT USING A BALLOT PAPER. KICK VIOLENCE OUT BY VOTING HADOF HITRA HH OUT OF ZED POLITICS.HH IS VIOLENCE,VIOLENCE IS BITTERNESS AND BITTERNESS IS HH.TRIBAL IS EVIL AND HH IS TRIBAL,IF U ARE BITTER,U CAN EVEN KILL AND KILLING IS DEVILISH

  29. Congratulations Zambia Police for having acted professionally this time around. Is it that parliament is dissolving shortly and senior officers now do not to conslt their IG? This is a shock mwandini mu zambia bakapokola ukubomba kwati ifi

  30. Kudos to ZP.Kindly treat all violence no matter which party perpetrates it as an evil towards all peace loving Zambians.I hope investigations are under way to cage the vandals(thugs) who vandalised the PF and equally investigating the pay master of yesterdays fracas by PF thugs.People should understand that democracy is not about stone throwing burning and pangas.

  31. YOU CREATE A SLOGAN AND IT BACK FIRES ON YOU.
    Ok SONTA
    ?#?who? converted 5 brand new vehicles at state house worth k5 million in just 15 months avobola
    Add yours, SONTA umutengo wabunga,
    Team this is a good slogan it has backfired on them, let’s remind them of how they have messed up this country, please where ever you see them saying SONTA hit them with these messages just copy and paste.
    Below are the ten selected key statistics that should convince anyone with some minimum education and knowledge that indeed we have become an economic basket case instead of being a bread basket economy:
    1. # SONTA 800% increase in external debt ceiling from K20 billion in 2011 to K160 billion in 2016
    2. 1 # SONTA 31% increase in domestic debt ceiling from K13 billion to K30 billion
    3. # SONTA…

    • UPND will pay for that office they destroyed in matero mark my words. You think mighty PF will seat idle! We shall wait until you go to sleep then we shall see if you will have time to alert the police useless cowdung cleaners.
