Unruly PF youths today launched fresh attacks on the UPND campaign team in Tender area in Mafinga district in Muchinga province.

The PF youths who carried different kinds of weapons attacked UPND President Hakainde Hichilema and his team and managed to disperse the UPND supporters.

The residents panicked following the attacks and the rally had to be discontinued.

On Monday, the UPND team was again attacked by PF cadres in Shiwangandu area as PF cadres attempted to bring down the UPND helicopter.

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema described todays attacks as unacceptable.

Mr Hichilema revealed that PF supporters know no other way to vent their frustration or express their difference of opinion other than through violent means.

He said what is happening is pure political persecution by the PF, who have ferried cadres into Muchinga province from Lusaka to follow the UPND campaigns tour.

“This is what we have been calling on President Edgar Lungu to take note of as this chaos is getting out of hand. We have repeatedly said the ongoing breakdown in law and order and the loss of confidence in public institutions, such as the police service and other security wings, will result in untold misery that could engulf the whole country,” Mr Hichilema said.

Meanwhile, Mr Hichilema and his team proceeded to Nakonde and held a public rally at Nakonde grounds later in the afternoon.

Addressing the crowd, Mr. Hichilema said he will enhance trade in border areas and ensure transparency and efficiency in the clearing processes at borders. By promoting economic activity jobs will be created to advance the fight against poverty, he explained.

The UPND President and entourage, who arrived at the venue in light truck, also assured the country of improved security, particularly for those living in border areas.

Meanwhile, running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba expressed confidence that Mr. Hichilema will open up borders for business and create jobs for the locals.

MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba said that Zambia will be more united under Mr. Hichilema and charged that currently there is too much poverty and division in the area.

UDF President Miles Sampa said voting for President Lungu is as good as voting for people that the Zambian people removed in 2011.

Mr Hichilema and his delegation are in Muchinga Province on the campaign trail.

  1. We are tired of these relentless publicity stunts from Kaponya (HH) and his UPND. Go to hell Hap Hazard Kaponya.

    • Trust me these must be bona-fide UPND members just begining to chase HH for insulting them with a thug in GBM instead of veterans who suffered with Mazoka and have endured to defend the tonga only dictrine. And the neganega formula being used in cattleland could just be receiving counter response in none cattlelands. Not forgetting that HH through Watchdog has repetitively over the years called northerners as monkey thieves from kasailand who should be expelled. This could public reaction unless he apologises we don’t see real acceptance.

    • Zambia has no leadership indeed and lungu’s thinks that is doing him favours. The fact is that he is losing.

    • PF is just worried that the laws of averages in voting numbers is catching up with them since they have not been campaigning they have noted with horror that UPND is making in roads in their strongholds….but master ECL is not on the trail yet still hooked to some energy boost drip to help him properly launch campaign or he some how believes two stadium rallies have covered 70% of voters…and he is home and dry… sipping on some wine

    • HH, Scott, Miles and ka Mulenga are seeking too much sympathy. They should just buzz off to S/province. A ta se

    • Kudos who ever you are but i feel you should have been in that gay night club in Orlando during that fateful night.

    • How barbaric these northerners are exhibiting for the whole world to see. There are some real thugs and animals in that part of the world. If the coward cops can’t arrest these thugs with their faces splashed all over the Internet, then they are really incompetent. And ECL thinks this is how to win an election? Pathetic!

    • Relentless publicity indeed just to seek political sympathy, how does one explain picture 4 & 5, same picture but one was in Mafinga and the other one in Nakonde. Was it photo shop gone sour?

    • PF led government is a classical example of a government promoting anarchic in a country. What a shame that 2011 elections ended up giving us this part, a mistake which must be rectified by us Zambians this August.

    • @1.10 Maverick, wila tubika mufyabupuba. These attacks have mainly happened in Shiwang’andu because of Kampyongo who is worried about being out of work and another fool in Mafinga. So don’t generalise. It’s annoying. Most of us northerners are very civilised.

  2. Just explain to your UPND stakeholders why:

    1. You’ve never held a democratic internal election in UPND since 2006
    2. You appointed Gender Based Molester as your Running mate using tribal reasoning
    3. You claim to be rich yet you have embarrassed your 2nd in Command Canicius Banda by eviction from PHI
    4. You campaign on sanctified days instead of resting
    5. You can’t pronounce our local staple food in vernacular
    6. You want to continue being UPND President after your 20 years in opposition since 1997
    7. You have allowed the Cartel to impose itself on UPND
    8. You have embraced Mmembe who called you a Bantu stan
    9. You belittle the Republican President we Zambians democratically elected
    10. You have an unsaleable 10-point plan

    Sonta po!

    • Unlike you UPND cretins who only support by Tribe and Nepotism, we in PF support on principle. We support PF because we are patriotic.
      We are not relatives to the leadership, that’s why in 2011 we supported the late MC Sata and now we support EC Lungu. Should anything happen to the humble and wise EC Lungu we will support Honourable Madam Inonge.
      We don’t get paid as some of you keep suggesting. You sicklings can’t imagine a life without hand outs. Get a life fake Engineer you were born through an Annus just like your Kaponya Hap Hazard and his Genetically Modified Basturd

    • Twalamipoka ichalo m******mwe. Viva GBM viva CB and viva HH, GS, MS and MS(the dog seller, sorry former)

    • This kudos chap is not garnering any votes for his masters here… in fact he is eroding all the little sympathies any could have had for his pf. All i have learnt from him is pf are devoid of any ideas to better manage this country!

  3. KICKS OF A DYING HORSE ARE NOW SEEN TO BE TRUE. THE OTHER BACK SIDE OF LUNGU IS SEEN AND THIS HOW HE WILL BE FINISHED BECAUSE ZAMBIANS ARE NOT STONE AGED PEOPLE TODAY.
    IF THIS CONTINUES, LUNGU SHOULD KNOW THAT HE IS CREATING HIS OWN GRAVE. I MEAN IT. WHY STONES AND OTHER WEAPONS? THOSE WHOM YOU WANT TO STONE ARE THE VOTERS AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL REMOVE YOU OUT OF THE STIGEN.

    KWENA BAPWELE MWAPWA TAMUKWETE IFYAKWEBA ABANTU. VIVA UPND, FAVOR YABAYAWE, ALEISA, ALEISA, ALEISA CHIMIBABEBWINO

  4. Those are pure villagers who do not like hh-period!MICHAEL SATA WAS FREE TO CAMPAIGN ANYWHERE BECAUSE HE WAS LOVED BY VOTERS!!BUT HH CANNOT MOVE FREELY EVEN HERE IN LUSAKA BECAUSE HE IRRITATES A LOT OF ZAMBIANS!!”UMUNTU NI LUNGU-2016!!

    • Such Neolithic thinking should be unacceptable this ilogical reasoning of he is not loved and what not doesn’t add up when RB was president HH and the UPND used to freely campaign in the same areas ever since the PF came into power and worse under ECL violence had escalated exponentially

  5. I have said lungu is a very dangerous man who hides behind prayers while he instructs violence. All this violence can end with just one phone call from lungu.

    Make no mistake, if lungu wins he will impose himself as life president like mugabe and MU7.

  6. KUDO SPEAK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS AND COPPERBELT. YOUR INFORMATION IS JUST HATE AND IRRELEVANT BECAUSE NO ONE ANALYSE ANY SENSE FROM YOUR OPINION AND THAT IS YOUR INFORMATION YOU ARE FEEDING PEOPLE. IF I CAN HEAR YOU AND IF WERE A TEACHER DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU 0% BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR MESSGE WITH ALL THE KAMBWILI AND OTHERS. NO ONE IS ARTICULATING GOOD WILL FOR ZAMBIANS IN PF BUT GASTIGATING OTHERS WHILE YOUR OPPONENTS ARE REMINDING THE VOTERS AND THE NATION WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR THEM WHEN THEY COME INTO POWER.
    READ YOUR COMMENTS AND YOU WILL LOUGH AT YOURSELF

  7. The problem is the 2016 most incompetent and idi0tic president of the millennium Edgar chakolwa Hangover Kaloba Wrungu has never condemned violence.

    • This violence just proves how incompetent Lungu is and why Zambians must kick him out in August.

      If he cannot even control violence in his own party can he be trusted with the safety and security of Zambia?

      This drunkard has no regard for the Zambian people, he only wants to stay in plot one to steal more of their money.

  8. Evidence that pamafi party belongs to the most idi0tic members like Kudos. Please people lets vote out this Chakolwa and his pangarians members.

  9. PF has taken the country backwards in terms of democratic credentials. They are behaving very primitively. The Lack of leadership at the top is all too clear for all to see.

  10. You know what? The Police have fully identifiable criminals. Go and arrest them.

    My hope as a citizen is that the person in the photo is currently helping the Police with investigations, and that the Electoral Commission of Zambia are on the case.

    If PF must be disqualified because of these anti-democratic antiques, so be it. We will just have to shift our support from this blatant violence.

  11. Violence is not good and all God fearing Zambians should pray against this vice. However these pictures look suspicious. How can 2 people with stones chase the whole entourage of UPND together with their well known vicious body guards? Something is not adding up here. This could be a bad joke or an attempt to hide something or even an attempt to encourage violence. Christians let us continue praying for our nation against the works of the evil one.

  12. “This quote came from Ken Peters, Professor of Economics in the Czech Republic “The danger to Zambia is not Edgar Lungu, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Lungu presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate, willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr Lungu, who is a mere symptom of what ails Zambia. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. Zambia can survive an Edgar Lungu who is, after all, merely a fool.It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.”

    • @JJP
      I wish even say 10% of Zambians could understand the gist of your posting. It pretty much sums up the quagmire we are in and without a cataclysmic reaction from voters like you and me, we are in a serious mess here. For the first time in Zambia we are witnessing violence that we have never seen before and Lungu is quite about it. What a country and what a president!

  13. Iwe tea car ra in state house please cage your fellow clueless,visionless,directonless,needless,dullness,brainless,heartless,spinless,hopeless and drunkards members of yours. Only a person uwafyalwa kwi Ule like Kudos can support this kind of behaviour.

  14. I hope Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu’s soul will rot in hell once Hiv Aids finally take control of his worm puffed body.

  15. I hope Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu’s soul will rot in hell once HVI Adis takes charge of his worm puffed body because next time the Virus won’t be treated by putting him Jameson drip.

  16. Upnd is tolerating violence,zambia has alot of ex commandos and other ex security wings which upnd can hire to effectively counteract in such instances,forget the blame game,otherwise if upnd continue on its docile path ,it wont liberate us from economic catastrophy.two rich guys failing to apprehend few pf cadres its unacceptable.

  17. God protect HH and team.

    The violence of Lungu boomerang and consume the masters and.pepetrators. The pit dug by Lungu swallows him.

    NO weapon fashioned against HH prospers.

  18. Those who are involved in violence, will reap violence. They are teaching children that politics is about behaving violent for your party. You own children will be killed in political Violence in your very own eyes. So that you may see the deed that you are sowing today.

  19. The shameless political thuggery using crude weapons and primitive missiles that was introduced by Satan has sadly taken hold.

    Keep going down this unfortunate road and soon we’ll be struggling to extinguish political hellfires and horrifying bloody scenes like we saw in Rwanda in ’94 and in Kenya in 2008.

  20. Hechihechi always shoots himself in the foot at the most critical times. Look what he said today about the tax owed by Post to zra.

  21. Why can’t UPND buy guns and kill these thugs. UPND grow up I am sure you can afford guns to protect yourselves.

  22. The unashamed reasoning of the PF cadres on here is shocking. Defending even what’s not defendable is just downright scary. So according to them, the victims are to blame and the victims set up the violence to attack themselves. Really you guys believe what you write or you have no shame at all? Sometimes it’s better to be quiet because you really think you are hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, think again because you aren’t. One day you will be exposed… the admin of the site can actually see who is writing where and which IP they are using. So my advice is you need to check your conscience and write sensible things.

  23. @Maverick, yes the reasoning of PF cadres is alarming. No one should fear the admin or PF or Changwa. But blogger should not defend bad things done by PF just because they’re PF cadres. Some of these are actually so called Christians defending evil done by PF. Would they be defending if their relative was injured or killed by PF cadres?

  24. Kudos,your days are numbered!We tell you you will not see August 11th in peace.You think what pf cadres are doing is good?When you are commenting,don’t joke and you only post all the time useless things whether yo pf is wrong.I warn you personally,prepare to see the woes from now on and from the time you don’t know.You will feel good only when you see your Lungu cries unstoppable after losing,kabili mwiba bonse.I wish you were not a Zambia!You are really a foreigner who only wish Zambia to fall into civil war.Cursed are you mambaala we mpapa wee.

  25. When we say Northern is a ‘No-Go Area’ for HH and the Sata Family Forest what do you think it means ? Go and campaign in Gwembe or Nega-nega !

  26. tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. These images, if not counteracted by security personnel and condemned by government leaders, might actually take hold and perpetuate. This is no longer funny and something to score insulting competition on!We recall how UNIP’s ‘by air’ vigilantes made MMD win much public sympathy and support. The tear-gassing of ba Sata left RB’s MMD the big loser. Simple lesson: violence can never be justified, it is wrong and totally unacceptable. We can’t be at war with our own selves, it defies logic and common sense. Maybe the PF cadres have a phobia for UPND, we never see them attack other political parties. Is PF really confident of winning? We are beginning to doubt big time. Lord spare our country from this violent culture!

  28. The pictures just shows the true nature of most Zambians!! This is how i saw people around me behave when i was growing up the only difference is people in the pictures are not arrested for the violence because they officially belong to a certain group whereas their country women & men are locked up in Zambia’s TB-ridden prisons.

  29. Primitive behaviour condoned for the sake of remaining in power. How could Zambians have voted for such rubbish? Well, it does say something about us. We have not had a long opportunity of being guided by proper leaders who would by now have ensured that we evolve in some of the areas that have to do with thinking. Its a vicious circle. We are dumb, elect dumb leaders, and they ensure that we remain dumb. kapish?

  30. you expect some overzealous cadres on the ground to over react because of what pf has done for them first time in a million years. it’s just common sense that opposition approach such areas with caution. mice don’t gallivant where there’re cats and bembas say mwikala patalala mwine apatalalika.

  31. Am sure this is a setup. Wearing ECL 2016 on a jacket and carrying large bricks openly is so wrong, not something a serious supporter would/should do.
