President Lungu’s response to the police killing of Mapenzi, is one of the most narcissistic I have ever heard out of a Zambian President.

He says “As you know, I am such a Christian, this makes me sad” You??? How is this about you? We all heard this president order the police to work on the opposition because “ukutumpa kwachilamo.”

He did this at a rally carried live for the whole country to hear the delirious chants of “Lungu Lungu” that broke out across the stadium in response to that most frightening statement from a president. So he knows we heard him and we understood him. The police did too. That is why, deep in a campaign period, the police could cancel an opposition rally after people were already on their way there.

They had enough officers to shut down a venue but not to address whatever security concerns they claimed. So Edgar should not play with us. If you join the dots, he ordered the killing of Mapenzi. He announced that he called the police to State House to order them to “bombelapo” on the opposition.

Well they did! We are waiting to hear what he is going to do now. Does he want a few more people to die before he publicly calls the police off the opposition. My question to Edgar is, are you happy now? Have the police proved their worth to you?

  1. Mazabuka MP Garry Nkombo fears that UPND will suffer the heaviest defeat if tribal party leader insists to contest in 2016.
    Nkombo has confided in his close friend and church mate that Zambians’ hatred for HH’s tribal politics has continued to grow.

    • This was a flop rally. How do you go on holding rallies in towns where the slain girl originates from b4 even barial takes place??. But ba Chagwa, your advisers are not doing their home works properly, you cant do that surely, its like u are mocking the local people in Southern!!

      Ba PF just accept, on this one (killing the young lady) you have made a big big mistaken. This is what happens with little scared men-you were aimed at punishing the opposition by cancelling their rally at the 11th hour, but God has his own way of punishing crooked and wicked scared little men like you, you will end up losing more undecided voters because the blood of that young lady is on your hands-God will punish you more for your devilish acts!!

    • THIS ANALYSIS IS SPOT ON. LUNGU IS INSENSITIVE. ALL HE SEES IS THAT MAPENZI WAS AN OPPOSITION SUPPORTER. MR LUNGU PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS THAT YOU ARE ALLOWING TO BE KILLED. WHAT KIND OF A LEADER ARE YOU?
      TO MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS “WE CAN NOT ALLOW MAPENZIS AND ALL THE OTHERS WE HAVE LOST TO HAVE SHED THIER BLOOD IN VAIN. THE RED-REVO MUST GO ON UNTIL OUR PEOPLE ARE FREE AGAIN. WE HAVE TO REMIND OURSELVES EVERY DAY HOW MUCH WE HAVE ALL SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF LUNGU AND HIS CADRES”
      ABASH CADRE REPUBLIC
      ABASH KILLING CIVILIANS
      ABASH BAD ECONOMY AND CORRUPTION.
      NO MORE CADRES RUNNING OUR GOVERNMENT. ITS TIME TO TAKE ZAMBIA BACK.
      VIVA RED REVOLUTION
      VIVA ZAMBIA FORWARD!
      VIVA JUSTICE FOR MAPENZI!
      LUNGU STOP THE KILLING!

    • Kikikiki Mali yakuilombela take it in your usual sacrifice the Freemasons. You vowed to fight the law with spires, pangas GBM released and mitutila, what happened to the war you declared against Zambians? Beaten to your own hallucinations ka. Kikikikiki we mourn one of our chuundu. What a loser useless Hilema for his under 5 hollow hallucinations. Hilema has just done exactly what his new friend Miles Sampa knows better as did it to Ruth Mbandu, a 19-year-old student murdered in the same way.

    • Thank you Laura for articulating in this article the very thoughts I had when I heard Edgars response…. he seems to be over compensating this issue of him being humble and christian whenever he is faced with a situation that requires him to own up essentially shifting any possible responsibility. He externalizes any responsibility ….. Why cant he just say he is pushing for expedited investigations so that he can also know exactly what happened and take action thereafter …. All he is seeing in this is himself how does this influence is power position ? He completely obliterates the fact that he is the republican President and thus needs to be above this

    • MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO, when our FOREFATHERS UNDERTOOK THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE & SHED BLOOD, they DID SO, SUCH THAT THEIR CHILDREN & GRAND GRAND CHILDREN such as MAPENZI CHIBULO COULD LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY, WHERE THEY WOULD NEVER BE AFRAID OF ANYTHING, A COUNTRY THEY WOULD FEEL SECURE IN & BE HAPPY TO CALL THE LAND OF THEIR FOREFATHERS WHO HAD SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR US!!

      IT IS SO SAD THAT MAPENZI & THE OTHERS THAT WERE SLAIN IN COLD BLOOD, RIGHTLY believed in a FREE COUNTRY BESTOWED TO US BY OUR FOREFATHERS, till you CAME ALONG WITH YOUR CURRENT HORDE OF PamaFI!! Sata, MHSRIP, though caustic at times, WAS NEVER AS EVIL AS THIS!!!

      SLAIN IN COLD BLOOD by a CONVICTED THIEF, the WORST ABUSE OF OFFICE, “GRAND ABUSE OF THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND”, FOR WHOM WE SHALL PURSUE TO…

    • …….WE SHALL PURSUE TO MAKE SURE HE IS NOW CONVICTED FOR PREMEDITATED MULTIPLE MURDERS!!!! Lungu, remember A VERY DOG HAS ITS DAY, the PEOPLES DAY ISN’T FAR – actually 2 days!!! the first 11/8/2016!! the second WILL BE THE DAY WE THROW YOU BEHIND BARS!!!

      ZAMBIANS, CIVILIAN AS WELL AS DEFENCE FORCES, it is time we took a moment to pause & REFLECT ON THE YOUNG LIVES SLAIN LAST WEEK – WHY THAT ACT OF EVIL HAD TO OCCUR – as a PEOPLE, CAN WE REALLY AFFORD TO ALLOW THE GREED & EVIL OF A FEW BAD PEOPLE DEFINE OUR LOVELY COUNTRY????????

      WE HAVE THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ON 11/8/2016!! WE KNOW THAT YOU, IN THE DEFENCE FORCES ARE UNDER ORDERS, HOWEVER THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO – WE NEED YOU TO REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ELECTORAL ACTIVITY TO THE OPPOSITION – To pursue this PRE & POST…

      VOTE UPND!!

      #Chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!

      MTSRIP!!

    • Edgar should answer to those questions. He is proud that a little force was imposed on poor lady. Burry her at state house.

    • ……”EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY”, The PEOPLES DAY, actually 2 DAYS are coming soon, the first 11/8/2016!!
      The second, THE DAY WE THROW YOU BEHIND BARS!!”….

    • Vote for Edith on the lines of UK and USA that are going to have women chief executives.

      Let it be a tribute to the lady killed in violent skirmishes between UPND and police.

      Women of Zambia, vote en masse for Edith Nawakwi.

      Let the men fight amongst themselves. We the women voters shall vote for one of us for a Real Change. Women are builders whilst the political men are destroyers and corrupt.

    • The problem with frustrated women like Laura is that they only pick things to suit their deluded selves She has deliberately ignored everything Lungu has had said about violence in the past in order to make her pathetic UPND buttlicking post. Some things will never change

    • Reasons why PF will loose this election

      1. Its clear to Lungu that the Copperbelt has been lot to the opposition. Indication was the failed rally at the Ndola stadium. Lungu can not draw the numbers. Hence you will not see him there.
      2. Its most likely that they will be poor turn out in PF strongholds due to the economy and voters who do not want to vote for UPND but will not vote for PF. UPND has always recorded massive turn out in their strongholds.
      3. UPND only needs to get an extra 5 – 10% of the numbers they recorded in PF strongholds. Its clear this will happen in CB, Luapula, Eastern and Northern as well as 10 – 15% in Lusaka.
      4. PF miscalculated by choosing Inonge as running mate, she has failed to deliver the numbers. In contrast GBM despite all the negative propaganda has…

    • 5. The violence in Lusaka is a last effort by PF to preserve the last nail in the PF boat. It is clear Lungu has a hand in it. Once they loose Lusaka game is over.
      6. The seemingly snub of western accredited Ambassadors by Lungu will have an effect
      7. Yes tax has to be paid… the closure of The Post was ill timed which will backfire big time.
      8. The is a silent revolt in PF, senior party members are not campaigning
      9. The so called tribal party UPND has now spread like bush fire in all corners of Zambia. Give credit to GBM
      10. The reality is that no one is now prepared to bet their money on PF. Most business men who would fund PF like in 2011 and 2015 are simply on the sidelines. The abuse of state funds is not there because the state is broke.

    • To quote Lungu…. “the olds are against me” He knows the truth and his face shows he his scared. On a last note. Godfather Banda has maintained a very low profile unlike the last election knowing that the game is over

    • THERE IS THIS BLOOD THIRSTY VAMPIRE AT IT AGAIN. THE INNOCENT BLOOD OF OUR CHILDREN IS DRIPPING IN THE HANDS OF THIS SATANIST AND JIHADIST MOSLEM EDGAR CHAKOLWA LUNGU. EDGAR LUNGU HAS PLANTED A VERY UGLY KILLING CULTURE IN OUR COUNTRY WHICH WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ELIMINATE, ESPECIALLY IF LUNGU IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN POWER AFTER 11 AUGUST. THIS LOOTER AND CRIMINAL LUNGU IS A SERIOUS CURSE TO ZAMBIA. ZAMBIA SHALL NOT PROSPER, AS LONG AS EDGAR LUNGU REMAINS PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA. LET US ALL JOIN HANDS AND VOTE FOR CHANGE, VOTE FOR HH AND THE UPND TEAM.THE POLICE OFFICER WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER SHOULD BE DISMISSED FROM DUTY IMMEDIATELY AND SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR MURDER. WHETHER POLICE OR NOT, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KILL INNOCENT CITIZENS.

    • I AM REALLY SORRY FOR THE DEAD PERSON AND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES OF THE WOMAN WHO WAS SHOT. HOWEVER, BUSHILU NO BUPUBA SANA FOR ONE TO PUT HIS/HER LIFE ON THE LINE FOR A POLITICIAN’S MAD DESPERATION TO GO TO STATE HOUSE. I SEE ZAMBIANS FROM ALL PARTIES AND CURRENTLY AND MOSTLY UPND AND MODERATELY PF RISKING THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES UST FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THEM TO GO TO STATE HOUSE. HOW F00LISH? A BALLOT BOX IS THERE FOR ANYONE TO EXPRESS THEIR DISCONTENT ON SOMEONE. ZAMBIA IS NOT A FAILED STATE FOR SUCH SUCH MAD BEHAVIOUR BY INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS. HH MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN DRINKING COFFEE WHEN THE WOMAN WAS SHOT AND JAST CAME OUT TO GIVE A POLITICAL EMPTY STATEMENT FOR POLITICAL CAPITAL UPON HEARING SOMEONE WAS SHOT. LOVE YOUR LIFE.

  2. A Master Mason has the audacity to confuse all those who believe in him. That is the more reason you see a lot of empty heads wasting space on this platform. See the Mason tonight at the lodge!!

  3. *****. The cadres marched from UPND SECRETARIAT. Who sends a defenceless child into a forest of lions??

    HH is evil. He will sacrifice anyone to get to state house including the author of this miserable piece.

    Did HH even apologise to the family of Mapenzi?? No HH played chief victim as always seeking political mileage out of her death. HH will never see state house apart from pictures.

    • Forest of lions? You 5tupid jack-ass. More likely forest of paid-up blood thirsty Antichrist mercenaries.

    • @ pepo

      Which votes will “speck”?
      Malawian? Congolese? Mozambican? Tanzanian? Angolan? Zimbabwean?
      Only uneducated 1mbecile who cannot spell “speak” can support blood thirsty CONVICTED EMBEZZLER and his gang of thieving thugs which have destroyed Country for generations to come. .

  4. Look at the above , the trend has gone viral…..

    When they sleep they see HH when the eat they see HH when they talk to their spouse’s they see HH when they try to write any thing they write HH.

    Dyyaka petrol HH.

  5. Hmmmm, Narcissistic? How does make sense. How did you get this published? How is empathy narcissism? It is the exact opposite.

  6. Laura Miti, you are a disgraced person. Hope you are back from the hole you are hiding in South Africa. Can you establish the following:
    a) When was the rally cancelled and why?
    b) When was the UPND informed?
    c) Was the procession from the party Secretariat through Church and Cairo Roads sanctioned by the Police
    d) The slain girl lived in Chawama and the cancelled rally was goin to take place in Chawama, why was she in the procession from Rhodespark?
    Dont draw the president in this stupid event. You are a confused chap. we remember very well during the early 1990s

    • Why do PF cadres march in Cairo Road and invade private property setting up shop in all corridors without Police beatings much less being shot dead?

      What Edgar is doing is not sustainable. Killing upnd supporters won’t make HH lose elections.

      Aluta continua! Victoria acerta!

  7. The so-called analysis by Laura Miti about Edgar Lungu’s ‘s response is flawed in many respects. It ignores the facts on the ground. UPND cadres were under orders from the UPND leaders to attack the Police with all manner of weapons including live ammunition and went on to beat policemen after their rally was cancelled. Such anarchy, attacks on motorists, ferrying students from UNZA to riot in Cairo road in open defiance of the law are unacceptable any where in the civilised world. ECL as a christian is appalled by this behaviour and the unfortunate collateral damage caused. This reaction can hardly qualify to be described as narcissistic.

    • @Ted ACTUALLY THE ANALYSIS IS SPOT ON! LUNGU GOES ON TO DISCRIBE HIS NOBILITY AND NOVELTY IN FIRST PRONOUNS. NOT ONLY THAT HE EVEN USES ADVERB QUANTIFICATION OF HIS LEVEL OF CHRISTIAN NOBILITY. QUOTE “AS YOU KNOW ‘I’ AM SUCH A CHRISTIAN AND THIS MAKES ‘ME’ SAD.” IN OTHER WORDS- LUNGU FEELING SAD IS THE FOCUS IN THE STATEMENT AND NOT THE NATURE OF THIS TRAGEDY. HE WANTS THE LISTENER TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT “HE” LUNGU IS SAD NOT THAT MAPENZI IS DEAD. THAT MY DEAR TED IS A CLASSIC DEFINITION OF NARCISSISTIC!!!

  8. Lungu as Commander-in-Chief gave the Commissioner of Police an open licence to shoot to kill so Lungu should be very happy that several supporters of UPND were shot and Mapenzi was mudered in cold blood. Lungu is President of supporters of PF and not for all Zambians.. Opposition supporters like Mapenzi are killed and not afforded the protection by the President of Zambia. Kanganja will be promoted and given a salary increase and bonus for implementing the President’s directive. Lungu is a calous and heartless President who incites violence on innocent citizens. To the contrary Lungu is not a humble and Godly person as we now know. Viva HH!

  9. Ask your HH why he allowed you guys to go against the law. Lawlessness lead to things like this. The police were doing their work. Tell your HH to stop using you guys as pony pieces on the chess board which can be sacrified for the King or Queen. This is what HH is doing, he does not care about your lives. To him you are expendables!! watch out before more of your die for him!! open your eyes, HH is evil minded.

    • @ 1mbecile asigay

      Read Constitution you sold out son of many fathers. Who pull the trigger? Shame on you and your murderous Antichrist convicted embezzler.

  10. Lungu is an A$$ Hole! In fact he sh.its diarrhea everyday from his HIV medications. Now we just have to find out how he is getting it and publish it for the whole world to know we have a sick and twisted president. Lets not blame it on the disease because we have sympathy for AIDS/HIV patients but LUNGU has a sick and twisted demented mind. Its that simple. I have no other comments.

    • Mapenzi Supporter, the biggest ass hole is your HH for putting the lives of his followers at risk and even death. Do not blame others for your won stupid leaders who do not care for you.

      So target you insults to HH. He is the one who told you to fight with the police. If he had abide by the police directive and followed the right channel, no life would have been lost. The police obly gave you a taste of your own medicine. Recently UMPD ahd HH have started behaving like a ruling party or that HH is President. There is still a President in office. There is no power vacuum, so you be careful or you will dies for nothing. Now, will HH give Mapenzi back her life? No, he does not care. For him it is a political score to use to complain.

  11. In history of zambia,this is whn am seing cadres grabbing riot shields from police officer,fightng de police officers @ police station,this is all frm UPND *****s and ths is becoz de police officers hve bn lenient on UPND cadres.Wht do u want to turn police officer into?let’s respect de works of de police n obey their instructions,if thoz hynas dd obey de instruction tht gal wld ve bn alive now.And let’s nt drag ECL in problmz u hve cozd to yoselve and blame de hyna who sent cadre on streets.

  12. This is the first time in the over 50 years of the existence of Zambia that an unarmed young Girl has been assassinated in cold blood for political reasons- please collect me if I am wrong. What threat can such a girl possibly have posed to a trained and well armed MAN?. Folks no matter what the circumstances might have been, this can not be justified. The seeds of hate that have been sown in Zambian society are now starting to bear fruit. Where are our hearts?. Where has our humaneness gone?.

  13. Asigai there is no sense in what you are saying.If it was PF, police would have allowed them now it was UPND . The police were ordered by their BOSS to block UPND so that it could not express it`s manifesto to the people of chawama.Ba kapokola give chance to all oppositions to express themselves to people how they will end poverty if they are voted into power.Police is there to look after people in case of violence.In my own ways police were wrong to stop UPND in last minute and time to hold rallies is going it`s people to decide at one time PF was in opposition it was allowed to have rallies peacefully.It is not fair to block the opposition.The current republican president of zambia should just give chance to every opposition to express themselves to people of zambia.ZAMBIA is a…

    • Emmanuel, Freedom of expression is done within the confines of the law. The police had explained why the did approve this rally because there was no enough notice as required. All HH should have done was to re-inform the police accordingly and this situation would not have happened. It is the arroagance of your HH and UPND leadership who think they are above the law.

      HH wants the same status as ECL. ECL is Republican President and HH a mere opposition leader. Which policies were you going to explain. PF is already doing what you will do. That is why HH only says he will control, control PF’s plans. He should come up with his own plans and ride on PF road map.

      For me, all this happened because this is what exactly HH wanted because how can a reasonable leader put his own followers…

    • @ 1mbecile asigay

      Which law you son on many fathers are talking about?
      Mugabe Law?
      No civilized person can justify killing of unarmed young girl which was running away from blood thirsty thieving 1mbeciles like you. But then, as a PF supporter, you are born as an animal and support animals.

    • Born Free, I know it is tradition were you come from to have many fathers. In my custom, we are so civilised that it is not possible to have many fathers. In any case, remember, there is only a women egg will only allow one sperm. So your theory is impractical and foolish.

      In your tradition you may not even know your father because men trade their women for cows. You may have be a product of that. No wonder you write in such a confused manner.

      If you are failing to make a reasonable debate, fumapo tubombeko or tulandeko!!!

    • Emmanuel did your connterparts look like their demostration was a peaceful one? Definitely not! They were wearing masks and chanting that you will see to day mwalashinikisha…. so this is what they meant. On thing l have come to learn about upnd is there so desparate and capble of anything that can help them win elections.

  14. lets all face it this was planned , why would out of so many would one girl get shot. and to make matters worse if you think of it why is it that HH is so keen on making LUNGU look bad , I dnt see lungu trying to make HH look bad. HH is playing dirty and I think he is not worthy of a leader, tell us HH supporters what HH has promised so far to help build the nation apart from his farms and business with his kabwalala friend GBM. UPND is in it for business and benefits vote for UPND and with have a Zimbabwe situation on Zambia. My condolences to the girls family but this is not lungu doing all planned by HH and the cadres that were in the forefront

  15. Now lets set the record straight. Police decide to cancel the UPND rally in Chawama and inform the party accordingly. Now here are the facts. Police had received information of possible violence regarding this rally. They had no details but they had been reliably informedvthat something was going to happen. As things turned out, that something was an illegal procession for which UPND had not obtained a permit and had not informed the police. UPND had planned that as the rally was going on or as it was approaching the end, UPND cadres would march from their secretariat towards Chawama via the central business district CBD cairo road. The plan was to catch the police unawares as they would be overstretched too. The timing was to cause maximum chaos in CBD as this was rush hour. Violent…

    • “…Police had received information of possible violence regarding this rally…”

      You mean they did read instructions from blood thirsty convicted embezzler Antichrist?

      Well said. Finally little truth from paid-up son of many fathers

  16. Fear God &give him grory ,pliz don’t hide behind the finger hh have never been the Republican President b4 so he don’t have powers to command the police God is watching you so even if we ask why you hate hh you can’t give a proper answer apert from prejudice.don’t force people to chose a long choice, let the people of Zambia chose the President of their choice. But remember if God Auden no one can reverse it ,your physical power will not convince people of Zambia .

    • And do not Put God to test. The bible tells us that we shall know them by their fruits… and what are Hh’s fruits.. luanshya saga, formulated maptizya formula, selfishness, he calls himself that he is an elder in the adventist church but his actions contradicts their belief i.e campaigning on Saturdays excetra excetra. So we dont hate hh as a person but we hate that devil behind him that he has allowed in his life!

  17. …planned violence and even causing riots cannot be ruled out. Unfortunately the rally wss cancelled by police which did not give UPND orgamisers enough time to cancel the procession. That explains why the procession was from the UPND secretariat and the participants were not the ones at the cancelled rally in Chawama but a different group of cadtes. The cadres from the secretariat thought this was a legal pocesdion as they were just following orders. They had no idea that they may be confronted by riot police. As usual the cadres dared and attacked the police thinking that it was business as usual and the lolice would not react. The rest is history ann the loss of a beautiful young lady at the altar of those who want power at all costs. As is well rehearsed by UPND leaders now they…

  18. As is well rehearsed by UPND leaders now they rushed to police HQ to protest the incident and point fingers at others. With gullible and ignorant people like Laura Miti swallowing the trick hook line and sinker. Patriotic citizens that is the situation facing our beautiful country now.

  19. I am tired of all your speculations. It sounds as if everyone of you were at the scene , before and after the shooting incidence. And it seems your reactions toward any comment indicates your party inclination. My advice is that before you post anything, be critical and view things as they are. This media could be very beneficial to educate the general public on facts.

    For instance, I have three analytical questions concerning the shooting.
    1. Why the police presence?
    2. If the deceased lady was one of the cadres, why would the police officer only target a lady? While, I have seen fiercely looking cadres in all political parties.
    3. How did the conflict start?

    We have read various versions of the causes of shooting which resulted in loss of life. Now, if only you manage to…

  20. O the above condenming EL about this shooting r just confirming that upnd is a tribal party. How can 1 person that was shot hapen to b Tonga & now u want EL to tell the ho tribal province to morn. And that he shld stop campaigning in the tribal province. Tribalists!!!

  21. first I would like u ba upnd to kindly explain why that girl was in The group of people marching, last I checked we the pf use buses provided for to move from point A to B,simple questions should b was that girl shot in a moving van,or she was on the streets with her fellow caders who were waiting for thier bus to arrive,you see common sense is not so common after all,those caders were there to demonstrate,she was there to FIGHT(the end)
    message approved

  22. Upnd was peaceful party until they brought in GBMs ruffians. Go to Ching ola and see how Upnd have defaced Edgar’s bill boards

  23. The only clear thing so far is that a young woman was shot dead by Police in a situation similar to apartheid days Police action against people whose only crime was that they were black. In this case belonging to UPND. People stop obeying laws when laws become abused by those in power to apply them selectively. That is how revolutions start. People see what is happening. You can’t fool all the people all the time.

  24. Who killed the young lady? blood on hands,hell is waiting..wherever you are hiding iwe buju you die a painful death

  25. Laura Miti, when you were growing up, am sure at one point or the other, either your mum or dad said, “I think ukutumpa kwachilima, I will not tolerate this kind of nonsense anymore”. What that simply meant was that they were going to deal with you sternly. It in no way meant that they were going to kill you.

  26. I have a question for one Escobar Chikopo Lungusha, why does he force himself or impose christianity on himself by a mere declaration? If indeed being a Godly person was by mere declarations, all of us can wake up one day and declare ourselves what we are not. For example, a medical Doctor can wake up and declare himself a mining engineer, a police officer can wake up and declare himself a pilot, and if they did, will just that declaration make them what they have declared?
    Are there no qualifications to becoming a mining engineer or pilot and many more? What about christianity, are there no scriptural qualifications to become one? For example Do onto others what you would like done onto you. Luke 6:31. The children of the devil and the children of God are distinguished by their works,…

    • Are there no qualifications to becoming a mining engineer or pilot and many more? What about christianity, are there no scriptural qualifications to become one? For example Do onto others what you would like done onto you. Luke 6:31. The children of the devil and the children of God are distinguished by their works, those who hate and murder their brothers like Cain are the devils’ Children, those who practice love are God’s Children. 1 John 3:10-12 . There are actually more scriptural qualifications, not a mere pretense of tu ma reading glasses and a Bible in hand in church at am a Christian.

  27. Ba Laura, permits are not cast in stone. As such, there is no prescribed time for cancelling a permit. The police conducted their intel, and found that the atmosphere was not conducive for the UPND to hold a rally. For your own information, I happened to be in Chawama 2 hours before the rally was schedule to begin, and I understand why the police decided to cancel the permit, at least by discernment. Most of the roads were barricaded with all manner of objects (stones, tyres, broken down-vehicles etc) by the locals, who among other things, demanded an apology from the UPND for saying that the PF had done nothing o show for in Chawama. They vowed that they would not allow the UPND to use the roads that had been constructed by the PF, because they felt insulted by the remarks of the UPND…

  28. Mu ma kombono ya mu Lusaka most of us are WATERMELONS; green on the outside and red on the inside; this is so that we can live no enough to cast our votes FORWARD pa 11 August. Safety kuisunga we mwine. Nkhani iza zibika mu booth bane

  29. Lungu you have all the powers to stop violence in the Country. Imagine if it was Tasila would you be happy? It is sad what is happening in our Country enough is enough please God intervene we cry out to you.

  30. Another interpretation of your watermelon analogy could be that the majority of the voters are PF (the green), while the biggest proportion of the opposition voters is UPND (red), with the other opposition parties being the seeds in the watermelon. So, come 11 August 2016, PF will emerge victorious!

  31. When are you chaps going to grow up? Simply stop attending rallies. Ichimpwena is not good. Just wait for 11 August to cast your vote simple. Anyway, “common man” is difficult to teach manners.

  32. The article is most appreciated and very clearly understood. Thanks Laura for your opinion of which most of it, I share. It will be interesting to ascertain how a rubber bullet transformed into a live bullet and also how armed UPND cadres are the ones that blew up Mapenzi’s brain. Mourning Mapenzi with respect and dignity is obligatory and we shall comment intensely after our able-bodied Inspector of Police releases his forensic report. May peace prevail henceforth.

  33. its funny how politics can make a Christian nation go against each other, if I had to vote I would vote for me cause nothing special about both candidates. people are killing each other over other peoples success yes we want change but do we need it in a violent way no.so guys you people arguing about two individuals who probably would never give you anything or even shake your hand to say well done here is a job or money to build your family. only thing ever worth looking forward in life are the people who really matter to us. HH and Lungu are making Zambian politics seem immature and unprofessional they disgracing a sweet and loving nation. I ain’t voting for no one if I can’t get a vote for me, i pay tax so am more important to the nation. rather Put God as my president then thirsty…
