UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba has been charged with conduct likely to breach the peace and detained at Ndola Central Police.

Armed police officers surrounded Moba Hotel in Kitwe Saturday afternoon where Mr Mwamba was lodging as he was preparing to travel to Freedom Park for the campaign launch rally for the UPND.

He was then driven to Ndola where he was questioned for more than two hours.

Police later arrested him for conduct likely to breach the peace in connection with allegations that he slapped a trader at Kitwe’s Chisokone market during the week.

He was then bungled in a cell and he is likely to appear in court on Monday.

And Mr Mwamba described his arrest as heart breaking.

“It’s heart breaking to say the least that the Edgar Lungu and PF are abusing public resources through cadres in uniform to intimidate innocent citizens and our party President Hakainde Hichilema, myself and members of Zambia’s leading political party UPND,” he said before he was locked up.

And Copperbelt Police Commissioner Charity Katanga says opposition United Party for National Development Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba has not yet been arrested but that has just been detained since yesterday.

In an interview with the Media in Ndola this morning, the Copperbelt Police Chief says Mr. Mwamba will officially be arrested today over three dockets her Command is in receipt of.

She says her office has three dockets in connection with the Kitwe’s Chisokone Market incident where Mr. Mwamba is alleged to have Assaulted and Occasioning Bodily Harm on some two individuals, caused damage to property and one of Conduct likely to Cause the Breach of Peace.

Meanwhile, Ms. Katanga has dismissed Media statements that Mr. Mwamba has been released as she maintained that he is still in Police Cells and that at no time did the Police have him out.

But UPND President Hakainde Hichilema said in an interview after visiting Mr. Mwamba last evening that the arrest of his Vice is an infringement to citizens’ Rights and .

Mr. Hichilema said Edgar Lungu has failed Zambians hence his act of panic over the growing support the opposition receiving.

    • This proves to the world why we are considered uncivilised. This frivolous arrest could not have happened with Edgar ordering it. It is embarrassing shameful and despicable. The intention was to prove UPND to riot but alas, they are smarter than that. GBM will be out go jail tomorrow more resolved and determined to win the 11Aug election. Shame on Edgar

    • GBM adds nothing aside from his ego in UPND.

      I think his reasons of leaving PF are the same reason he leaves UPND in the near distant future

      The Police are clearly working under instruction from PF.

      Ludicrous

      Thanks

    • Every well meaning Zambia know that Lungu wants to discredit GBM so that he is not picked by HH as running mate Because he know that picking GBM will bring northern province and the chitimukulu to UPND. EL knows that people feel cheated after him systematically doing away with any person from the north and aligning himself with the east as can be seen by bringing R. Banda on his side even after the guy was in kabwe to support mutati. If you look at it with no polical inclination you will notice that EL has almost gotten rid of all the people that where close to Sata.

    • Ka “chality”, says he is “Detained” but “not Arrested” – this, from a Police commisioner – if the officers she commands are not already confused & incompetent – it beggars belief that we believe we have a Police service – the correct term, is we have a KANYANGU SERVICE!!!

      How do you DETAIN SOMEONE IF YOU HAVEN’T ARRESTED THEM?????????????? We spend so much money “TRYING TO EDUCATE THESE KANYANGU’s” unfortunately, the project has failed!!

      Vote wisely 11/8/2016!! Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!! Vote UPND!! Abantu baya!!

      #Chagwamustfall!! PamaFikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

    • THERE’S NOTHING LIKE “ABSOLUTE FREEDOM”. FREEDOM SHOULD NOT BE ABUSED, WHEN WE ABUSE ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN, WE RISK LOSING IT. FREEDOM IS NOT AN EXCEPTION- ABUSE IT AND YOU LOSE IT.

    • @snake bite: Does anyone really need to “discredit GBM”? First of all, for what? GBM is a self-discredited “Kaponya” and UPND should have known what they were getting!

      In other countries GBM’s political career would have ended years ago when he beat up his own poor wife. Not only that, he is also alleged to have violently manhandled one of his employees and the case was taken to court—and if I am not mistaken the case is still pending. So for people like HH, Masebo, and all you UPND sycophants to start acting like you did not know the kind of a “THUG” GBM was is really stup!d, to say the least!

      Trying to spin this into some kind of Police/Govt harassment of this Kaponya (GBM) or the Opposition is silly, ridiculous and simply sounds hollow. Hakainde knew what he was…

    • continue…

      Hakainde knew what he was getting in GBM, so just deal with the POLITICAL CHAFF you welcomed and imposed on UPND. Blaming innocent people and the Police for your political naivety will NEVER work nor buy you votes.

      If you have failed to discipline any of your own high ranking Party officials (i.e. the Vice Party President), that is your problem and nobody else’s—just be ready for the consequences and fallout for tolerating indiscipline among your Party leaders, kwamana!

    • @ Yambayamba if you think GBM is a thug why the was he appointed Minister of defence and if he is not a political heavy weight why is EL spending so much time on him, GBM has influence in Northern province whether you like it or not and this man you call kaponya has business brains which have survived under chiluba, ruphia banda , sata and now EL, write him off at your own risk, Bashilubemba is behind GBM even though he pretends not to, GBM stood by bashilubembe even when sata and EL as minister of justice where persecuting him, as for beating his wife other presidents have done worse things than that, going to see a lover in the middle of the night while their partner is sleeping in state house, so beating a wife does not make you a monster.

    • @snake bite: GBM was appointed Minister of Defense by Sata as a payback for bankrolling the PF/Sata’s campaign. And this is exactly what he is after in UPND. The difference is, ba Sata was capable of handling and disciplining GBM whenever he got out of line—the kind of shrewdness and political weight I doubt HH possesses.

      Edgar Lungu simply didn’t gave GBM room to continue his thuggish behaviour, hence his migration to UPND.

      As for the “Kaponya” label, check the archives! I am NOT the one who came up with this label for this thug. It is YOU sycophants in UPND who called all these people “Kaponyas” when they were in PF. I am simply calling him by the name/label you gave him. So don’t attribute credit to me, I do not deserve it!

    • I also understand @snake bite, only in Zambia can GBV (for that matter, Minister beating up his wife) can be considered NOT A BIG DEAL. My friend, believe you me, like I have already told you, in other countries GBM’s political career would have been history already—violence towards your spouse can never be tolerated!

      Now, if you people in UPND think that violence (against spouses) is NO BIG DEAL, it explains a lot why even HH goes around calling women (Nawakwi) LITTLE GIRLS WHO BELONG IN THE KITCHEN. It show the lack of respect you have for women. To you women/wives are simply OBJECTS to be USED and ABUSED—shame! And please don’t give me bogus comparisons between CHEATING on your wife and VIOLENCE towards them. The two are separate and different. And I don’t condone either!

    • Fat Albert will never learn. This chap provokes situations and cries foul all the time. Some things will never change

    • what a hopeless country! that’s the result when you get someone from a tavern and make them president. i’m ashamed to be zambian, to say the least

    • Its really sad what we`re reading about Zambia. The country is gone 20 to 30 years backwards. We started this democracy thing close to thirty years ago but it seems we`ve gone back to Kaunda days where party and government were banded together.

    • By the way @snake bite, I really don’t care whether GMB is a political HEAVYWEIGHT (which I seriously doubt.) To me, he looks more like a OVERWEIGHT empty suit than anything else. Or who is spending how much time on him (time he himself should think about spending exercising and trim down a bit before he suffers a heart attack on stage,) or whether Bashi Lubemba supports him and, how successful he has been in business, this does NOT, and I repeat, does NOT, give GBM free reign to go around assaulting people. And it is this kind of behavior and warped sense of entitlement and feeling of being above the Law that makes him a DIRTY SCUMBAG THUG!

      And criminals/thugs who assault people don’t belong in political offices but jail, ‘fulu stopu’!!!

    • @ Katondo Boys, I think by ‘arrest’, she probably meant he has not been formally charged. Legal jargon has confused her.

      As for the arrest, there is no doubt it was politically motivated. But at the same time, GBM committed an offence (although it’s probably more civil than criminal charges unless bodily harm/injury was actually caused). The police are quick to arrest political opponents of the government in power but never do anything with comparative worse crimes by those in power. They would have given excuses like “no one has complained”.

      Having said that I really don’t understand why GBM continue to behave this way. I doubt he has a temperament to be a leader. HH is more of the same by not issuing condemnation of his vice-president.

    • @1.5Ba Sebenza, lt is Stalin, a mass murderer who said “Freedom is so precious that it has to be rationed”. Are these the people we shud be looking up to? We rather look up to Martin Luther King Jnr who asserts, with the American constitution that “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal….”.
      Leave GBM alone!

    • Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, I come against the strongmen called Spirit of lying, deception and corruption that has gridlocked Zambia like as unto a python / anaconda that is asphyxiating the people. Father God, deliver us from these suffocating python spirits. You demonic spirits I bind you in the Name of Jesus Christ along with all of your works, roots, fruits, tentacles, links and spirits of deception, flattery, prejudice/bigotry superstitions, religious bondages, accusations, profanity, exaggeration, foolish talking, strong calculated deception, donchi kubeba culture, tribalism, suspicion/distrust, superiority complex, slander, love of money, contention, cruelty, gossip, lies, dupery and the hidden spirits. I loose Truth! That the lies of the wagging tongues will…

    • You people this is so wrong. Even Mr Sata if he was around wouldn’t have treated GBM in this manner. GBM contributed greatly to PF, he deserves some respect. Imwe bena Kambwili and the like should know better. You should look back and know where you are coming from. You can’t behave like abo bambi ba sangwapo.

      Even if someone has gone, let him go in peace. GBM can’t do you any harm ba Lungu

  1. So HH, did he or did he not assault the marketeers? We know GBM likes to slap people around, especially women. You (HH) say nothing of the incident but proceed to condemn Lungu. Do we take it that you know the truth but are afraid to condemn your VP? I am sure you are wishing the cool, calm and collected Banda was around.

    • This is also my question, did GBM assault the marketeers? Difference with ‘My Zambia’ is till my question is answered, I am going to rest here. I am asking GBM to respond to Zambians like me, did you assault the marketeers whether or not it was in self-defence? Can someone take this email to him?

  2. Detaining opposition leaders during campaign period is not good governance. Rupiah was the most insulted but he never used the police or his cadrers to insinuate cases against political opponents. GBM is being targeted because he is the breaking the tribal tag. Mukose

    • Cisi cesu if you did not know that is the more reason people will not vote for violent opposition political leaders. The aerlier got rid of GBM the better for UPND. This GBM thing will cost HH an erection on 11th August 2016. oh it is an election. You did not see the Chisokone Marketeer who wa assaulted GBM? No musalula uwakutuka abakalamba ama Zambians tabafwaya. Canicius calling PF leaders at ifiwelewele ifipumbu instead of bringing out issues. UPND muchili mulesebana

    • Iwe @cisi cesu, GBM is NOT being detained for insulting anybody!

      He ASSAULTED someone and the Police can’t just look the other way just because it is FAT ALBERT on the rampage beating up people. Assault is a crime and that’s the reason he is in detained. It is so hard about that for you UPND cadres to understand? Just accept the fact that you have as your Party VP. Try to take some responsibility for once.

      People told you GBM is trouble and will bring you some NEGATIVE PUBLICITY, alright; and here you have it! Only M.C. Sata knew how to “karaal” this thug called GBM. Good like HH/UPND!!!!

    • Sir, for you beating innocent people during campaigns is OK. The duty of the police during campaigns is to watch as people are being beaten.
      Only the weak in society have to be arrested and not the violent rich
      In Lungu’s Zambia all citizens are equal
      May be when your party takes over in 2116 there will be 1st and 2nd class citizens
      Ask those war mongers that you know in your party to stop it now, otherwise they will be the next ones to be arrested

    • Without condoning in any way GBM’s alleged actions, how political violence occurrences have happened under the PF watch and police chose to look the other way and ignore? We are talking about blood spilling violence, hacking each other with pangas, etc and no arrests have ever been laid. Let’s get real and stop being cadres even far away from the scene on your computer keyboards.

      The police need to be consistent in the application of the law. And it’s weird that he’s been charged with ‘conduct likely to breach peace’, so where are the assault charges that seem to warrant the allegations?

      It’s political and anyone choosing to believe otherwise should check their own integrity and credibility.

      By the way no need to name call and insult anyone when debating… let’s…

  3. Police do not act in oblivion, there were complainants against gbm’s own stup!dity acts that have landed him were he is- that’s what you get when you act without thinking! Imagine having chicken heads making decisions that may land the country in dire straits- a future vice president who may end up slapping Hilary Clinton- awe sure fye- Ifintu NiLungu-mpaka litente!

  4. This silly dwarf girl Charity Katanga again…its seems all these lap dogs called Police Commissioners are trying very hard to appease their masters; how do you send a group of armed officers to arrest one individual? You have not even arrested him but detained him what for…this is why you are accused of frustrating the opposition!!

    • Every govt has done that before to the opposition. GBM knows that very well because he was in the ruling party before he crossed over and started to look like the victim in every situation. Ama politics teyabaiche. Ba upnd, you have now been blessed with an abundance of negative publicity. Well done.

    • Jay jay, Charity Katanga is a wife and mother and your delogatory language speaks to the heart of UPND policy on women. This is the same mentality that led GBM to slap 2 women at Chisokone market. Continue your diparaging remarks, let’s see if they will win you votes.

  5. So HH wants GBM to be infringing on other people’s rights by slapping them when asked tough questions…Opposition leaders do not have immunity to any crimes they may commit and its a shame that HH can condone every nosense from GBM as long as he supports him…Imagine the world if UPND won the coming elections how GBM and HH will be insulting and flogging ordinary people with divergent views…

  6. The mistake GBM made was to order Tbone when detained at Lusaka Central prison. Now the underpaid police everywhere around Zambia think the only way to fete themselves on tbone is to have GBM in cells.

  7. Beating and assaulting innocent people is good human rights according to this Hungry Homosexual HH.

    • Which innocent people.GBM slaped him because the baga pushed GBM out of the market.GBM is a Zambian and can walk in chisokone market and buy what he wants.They claim he was campaigning what about Kabwe who is dishing money in markets is it not politicking.Lungu leave GBM alone.

    • We didn’t want to hear what GBM had to say that’s why we kicked him out of Chisokone. He was furious because of the response we gave him and we all know that when GBM is backed into a corner, he will either resort to using fists or insults. We will chase him again in case he felt like the first time was a dream and decides to come back.

  8. GBM is slaping women.what a leader slapping voters?kikiki kwena aban ba GBM amano yanoo.Sontapo viva PF

    • I missed this one, did he? I thought the last time I checked, he did not ‘slap women’ but his wife who forgave him and is still married to him? Mosco (OP), are you his concubine and he slapped you when the affair was found out by his wife?

    • Tables will fortunately turn in his favour. Your product Hungry Homosexual is unsellable. Don’t blame anyone if he loses a record six times.

  9. @ snake bite,so to your understanding it was Edgar Who hired some people to pretend to have been slapped then issue call outs in order to discredit gbm? that my friend is the reason school is important,ati wen u cut yourself just suck your blood back into your system,smh.if you do not want HH to be arrested during campaign period then don’t you think you can advice him to stop nkonyos?
    is pf going to win without gbm,sampa,guy scot,mulenga and all the defectors? you know it

  10. Lungu will surely pay for his vindictiveness. What goes around must surely come around at some point. Does Lungu remember Muamar Gaddafi? Laurent Bagbo? The most dangerous weapon in Zambia at the moment are the bodies of Hungry people. If Kaunda tried to persecute his opponents and failed Who is Lungu?

  11. I don’t understand why bloggers cannot be truthful for once,this GBM guy goes and beats up traders at chisokone market and you don’t see anything wrong with that but instead you want to blame Edgar for the action the police have taken? For once let’s be realistic and stop politicking. GBM is violent and the sooner UPND realises this the better for them.

    • There is a witness on video, a woman who was there! She says nothing of the sort ever happened! Where are the complainants? As usual, they are as secret as those against the DPP!

    • I wish you knew what violence is all about in Africa. Are you forgetting the same GBM has rights too. Do not provoke someone and expect them to be smiling at you. I would have done the worst like shooting the *****. Why do you think people like Kaizer Zulu would fire some shoots? this skin of ours is mostly primitive and provocative.

  12. PF has achieved one important goal, 1mbeciles have given to Fat Albert title of “freedom fighter”!!!

  13. Can someone tell me,am seeing lungu’s name in this assault case,meaning lungu was at chisokone market at the time of the assault? Upnd for once learn to appreciate advice. In the first place I feel sorry for GBM.i know he might have over reacted but it’s never too late for an apology. Even today miles or any other person from upnd could have gone to plead with the complainant so that this thing doesn’t go far.people are busy blaming lungu for nothing. Police acted the same way they would to any one.so bane stop wasting time here find a way of sorting out the big man’s issue.no need for a lawyer here.

  14. Upnd z a party of thugs and stupid leaders.wat z GBM’s cv?wife and employee beatings and insults.wat a party?a tribal party that thinks this foolish bemba GBM will win the bemba vote for them.

    • Your thinking is shallow. What factors do you consider for a party to be tribal? The leadership is mixed in most of these parties. The problem is not the party but the stupid villagers that vote on tribal lines.

  15. It looks like zambia laws are very much outdated.Detaining GBM over a slap?i assume the marketeer report to the police that she was assaulted but the police should have investigated the claim;and if found wanting .she would then sue GBM .Otherwise its just political persecution.

  16. The folly of supporting a political party that is devoid of any morals is beginning to show. Surely HH must be weeping behind the curtains. If HH is what he says he is, a gentleman and straight forward person then this (GBM) abuser should be kept at arms length other wise he is subtracting votes from UPND. He is adding no value at all. I cannot begin to fathom that we had this block (GBM) as a defense minister of our great nation. Any, African politics he was being awarded for having defected from MMD to PF. For those showing solidarity such as Masebo, the records of these people are there for all to see- Political Prostitutes. They will do anything as long as it appears to bring hope to them.

  17. Its really sad what we`re reading about Zambia. The country is gone 20 to 30 years backwards. We started this democracy thing close to thirty years ago but it seems we`ve gone back to Kaunda days where party and government were banded together..

  18. As long as UPND think GBM is right to insult and beat people, we are in trouble and should never allow them get near state house.
    The best HH could have done is to denounce GBM or keep quite. The people he beat are voters and have friends and relatives. The 2 beaten people may represent more than 100 votes.

  19. Fat Albert deserves what he got. This Great Bag of Maize is very violent… he should be detained then jailed therefatrer

  20. @Yambayamba:thanks for advising these dull upnd cadres!!SURELY,WHO IN ZAMBIA DOESNT KNOW THAT GBM IS A VIOLENT MAN?RECORDS ARE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE!!!GBM BEATS HIS WIFE,WORKERS,INSULTS INNOCENT PEOPLE,ETC!!BETWEEN INONGE WINA AND GBM AS RUNNING MATES,WHOM CAN MAJORITY ZAMBIAN VOTERS VOTE FOR?GBM IS DESTROYING UPND AND ITS A PITY THAT HH AND HIS TEAM ONLY BELIEVE IN TRIBALISM HENCE KEEPING A BLIND EYE ON GBM’S NONSENSE BECAUSE THEY FULLY BELIEVE THAT US BEMBAS WILL VOTE FOR UPND DUE TO GBM THE WAY TONGAS VOTE FOR HH-DREAM ON!!!yesterday heroes stadium was full of us bembas who are still in love of PF!!!SO FOR YOU UPND CADRES,POLICE MUST JUST LOOK AT GBM EVEN WHEN HE HAS COMMITED A CRIME?WHAT KIND OF THINKING IS?PLEASE ZAMBIANS LETS NOT VOTE FOR UPND AS ITS BAD BEHAVIOUR WHILE IN…

  21. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, I come against the strongmen called Spirit of lying, deception and corruption that has gridlocked Zambia like as unto a python / anaconda that is asphyxiating the people. Father God, deliver us from these suffocating python spirits. You demonic spirits I bind you in the Name of Jesus Christ along with all of your works, roots, fruits, tentacles, links and spirits of deception, flattery, prejudice/bigotry superstitions, religious bondages, accusations, profanity, exaggeration, foolish talking, strong calculated deception, donchi kubeba culture, tribalism, suspicion/distrust, superiority complex, slander, love of money, contention, strife, cruelty, gossip, lies, false teachings and the hidden spirits. I loose Truth! That the lies of the…

  22. Whether you are on the PF or UPND side, this is wrong It will take us years to get civilised in this country.We are so quick to condemn some of the things Kaunda was doing and yet we have managed to propagate these unjustified actions to such appalling levels.PF already has so much advantage in this election:do they really need to do this?

  23. and the girlfriend Masebo went to see him.. why only her? just like Maureen and HH, now its GBM and Masebo

  24. What a shame to Zambia. What a shame to Changwa. What a shame to the so called Lusaka Bishops who think Lungu is a Christian? Are these actions of people who call themselves Christians? Chama shoots at the innocent and he was never arrested. GBM be strong. This harassment will pass and Changwa’s time of reckoning shall one day come.

    • While investigating and coming up with charges police always detain people, that is procedural. After this, then GBM was arrested for assault, occassioning actual bodily harm and conduct likely to cause breach of peace. Five counts of charges. GBM deserves every charge as he should have just left the market when he noticed that the occassion was turning against him. They booed him and some pushed and closed paths such that he couldn’t walk through the Chisokone Market. This is when he started kicking market tables and slapped somebody who confronted him. GBM deserves every bit of the arrest and cells.

  25. This foolish belief of Zambia having been peaceful always is *****ic and deceitful, unless you stop the foolishness of trampling on the freedoms and rights of those who are not in power, you will one day put this country on fire. Even those countries that are at war now were once peaceful until stupid dogs like the PF under Lungusha icalo started stealing people’s votes and harassing their opponents. You cannot say those who become thieves were always thieves, there is always a starting point, a cause.

    • BaChilankalipa loleleniko panonofye, chalamikalipa apakulu kuchilapo come 11th August, 2016. The man who lied to IMF and World Bank about Zambia and it’s current leadership causing the duo to withhold support and eventually causing the downfall of the Zambian Kwacha is not fit to rule this country. Those measures and the inflation did not affect PF but ordinary citizens of this country. Up to now we are still leaving with the ill effects of Hakainde’s fiendish gymnastics at ascending to power. It’s actually self condemnation – he disqualified himself from the presidency. Creating artificial failure for others to gain political mileage. That is the working of Satan – the Lord resists such.

  26. HERE IS THE UNFITNESS FOR A POLITICAL POSITION OF MR GBM

    MR GBM HAS ALREADY PRESENTED TO ZAMBIANS WHAT TYPE OF A MAN HE IS.
    1. DOMESTICALLY, HE DEMONSTRATED HIS FAILURE AT SELF-CONTROL BY BEATING UP HIS WIFE AND
    2. ON THE POLITICAL SCENE? A PUNCHER OF ANYONE WHO DARES TO OPPOSE HIM. SO HE CLAIMS TO REPRESENT THE INTEREST OF ZAMBIANS? YOUR HERO, A MAN WHO PUNCHES YOU? ALL COME ON GBM AND YOUR PARTY? IT’S A DEFINITE NO TO SUCH LEADERS, IN FACT AN EMPHATIC NO!

  27. BE SINCERE PIPO WITH GBM NOT MAKE HIM A MORE THUG. HELP HIM TO REFORM. HIS THUG BEHAVIOUR IS NOT NEW A ANY GENUINE ZAMBIAN, HE FIGHTS, HE INSULTS, HE BOASTS ABOUT WEALTH, HE CAN BE A GUD FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTOR TO A PARTY TO A PUBLIC LEADER. PLSE UPND FIND A BETTER WAY TO UTILISE GBM AND TELL HIM HIS THUGGERY BEHAVIOUR WILL COST UPND A VOTE WORSE IF YOU PROTECT HIS WRONG BEHAVIOUR.

  28. It is good that these UPND savages are being taught a lesson.In August,surely the vote will be for ECL and not these desperate chaps trained in mapatizya formula.What change can they bring to mother Zambia that PF has not done ? They just want to cheat Zambians and later on just find a way of fattening their pockets.

  29. To all well meaning citizens of Zambia. One Zambia One Nation. Let us be careful how we receive news especially when it is hearsey. Here is GBM who today is a bad egg in society but only yesterday the same man was minister of defence. Untrusted with national security. The same people condenming GBM praised him and trusted him, even defended him. Now that he has changed “Camp”, the man is evil.
    It only goes to show that theres something fishy. If with the Ruling party, one is an angel and on the opposing side one is a “Devil”, brothers this not right, Then let the law take its course. One is innocent until proven quity. PLEASE Give GBM a chance pantu nawo mwana wa muntu.
    Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying. BE WISE

    • @Bishop, you are a direct example of backwardness. The fact that GBM was yesterday’s hero does not eliminate rebuke in the event of him committing a crime. You are calling others to wisdom which you yourself are devoid of. Practice what you preach.

  30. THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUR BY OUR MAJOR POLITICAL PLAYERS IS NOT STRAGE TO AFRICAN POLITICS. IT EVEN GOES TO SOCCER ESPECIALLY WEST AFRICAN TEAMS THEY PLAY ALL DIRTY GAMES TO FRUSTRATE THE OPPOSING TEAM BEFORE GOING ON THE PITCH. IN OUR CURRENT POLITICAL LANDSCAPE ONE IS LEFT WONDERING AS TO WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING TO DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. LETS HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD SO THAT WHICH EVER PARTY WINS THERE SHOULD NOT BE FINGER POINTING. NOT EVEN DURING KK REGIME DID SUCH THINGS HAPPEN TO MMD. ITS WAS JUST THE HOUR HAS COME AND BA MUSELA KWAKABA SLAGONS LIKE THAT. I CAN SEE BAD THINGS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY AND SOME PEOPLE WILL END UP AT THE HEAGUE. JUST WATCH THIS SPACE. POLITICIANS COME AND GO AND ZAMBIA WILL REMAIN THE SAME.

  31. GBM is a Kaponya and he should not blame anyone for being detained except himself. When your actions go outside the law dont blame the state president or the police but your self. GO PF GO, Abash UPND.
