No woman’s hand was cut off by PF cadres for supporting UPND in Muchinga-Police

The Zambia Police Service has again come out to refute another report circulating on social media which is linked to rising electoral violence.

With 10 days to go before Zambia goes to the polls, heighten political campaigns have seen rival groups take to social media to discredit each other with violence and reports of violence being the most used form of propaganda.

Another report emerged on social media yesterday under the headline: PF CADRE CUTS WOMAN’s HAND IN MUCHINGA PROVINCE OVER SUPPORT FOR UPND showing a picture of a woman having an amputated part of the hand.

The story has since been refuted by the Zambia Service through its Deputy Spokeswoman Esther Mwaata Katongo who said the story is not a true story.

Ms. Katongo said this story happened in Nigeria Abia state hence all the Zambian names in the story are fake.

“The story is just a propaganda gimmick aimed at putting Zambia in bad light. We urge all the concerned to dismiss the report as it is just a fabricated one,” she said.

“We call upon members of the public to desist from circulating falsehood and always stick to the truth as such type of reporting has potential to cause alarm in members of the public. As for those campaigning, stick to clean and factual campaigns as opposed to propaganda.

    • Iwe Nostradamus is true that a teacher in sinazongwe was beaten and killed? Stop alarming the nation and as a party try to work on your weaknesses.

    • Desperate times call for desperate actions. Grow some sanity ba UPND and campaign in a rational manner not this nonsense

    • This article has no evidence that it is authored by the police public relations office. Any wise person can see that it is concocted by the Upnd cretins who want to look innocent forgetting that they have blood stains on their faces. Sorry I can’t buy this.

    • WE ARE WAITING TO GO FOR THE FUNERAL OF THE TEACHER,CHANDA.TWEBENIKO UKULI ICHILILO.

  1. You keep on refuting until they attack you, you have forgotten that one of your officer was killed by the same PF cadres

  2. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS LUNGU KILLED THRU HIS BRUTAL POLICE AND HIS OTHER PF CRIMINALS? WHAT WERE THEIR SURNAMES? KAMBWILI YOU ARE TOO CHEAP TO BE A LEADER OF OUR NATION. YOU KAMBWILI TOGETHER WITH LUNGU AND OTHER PF MINIONS YOU ARE STINKING WITH TRIBALISM. YOU GUYS YOU ARE TERRIBLE. JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH HATE YOU HAVE SHOT AT THE TONGAS EVER SINCE YOU GUYS CAME INTO POWER IN 2011. AND WE ARE SAYING WE DON’T WANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE BUSY DIVIDING US. ZAMBIANS ARE ONE PEOPLE, AND WILL REMAIN SO UNTIL CHRIST COMES THE SECOND TIME. WE SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN A ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. SINCE YOU GUYS IN PF HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, WE HAVE NOW DECIDED TO VOTE FOR HH AND THE UPND TEAM NEXT WEEK THURSDAY. VIVA CHANGE VIVA!

    • Many Zambians have been deceived by the declaration of Zambia as a christian nation. You don’t become a christian because you are born in a christian nation or a christian home where your father is a pastor or a bishop in some church. Jesus said in –Mathew 23: (32-34)32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ sins. 33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell? 34Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.…
      James 1:22
      21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly receive the word planted in you, which can save your souls. 22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only…

  3. The worst enemies of our country are you people posting and reporting false stuff. Warning: Anything can sound real. Be careful what you read. Avoid reporting what you have not verified. I am disappointed in a lot of you bloggers.

  4. Social media has surely destroyed professional journalism in Zambia because of UPND cadres who have abused social media channels and freedom of speech so much. I now see why countries like China have banned social media channels.

  5. Zambians, please be careful. We have let the situation deteriorate to such an extent, our leaders are to be blamed for this mess.

    I am afraid, if we are not careful, foreigners could hijack this situation just to add to the chaos we have created for ourselves.

    These fake Youtube is a signal something fishy is going here.

    • Kudos is fighting to remain in a job he does not deserve at all costs. No one should pay attention to him, unless his cohort.

  6. After beating a bemba teacher badly in tongaland last week,upnd came up with this fake story to cover up-amazing!!JUST PREPARE FOR HH’S 5TH STRAIGHT DEFEAT DUE NEXT WEEK!!WE ARE READY TO COUNTER NEGA NEGA IN FAVOUR OF PF ON 11/08/2016 SO THAT CHIEF TRIBALIST HH CAN BE RETIRED FROM LOCAL POLITICS!!satana hh tekatepo icalo!!

  7. After the hutu extrimists in PF posted a fake story about a bemba being attacked in SP and getting their chief hutu extrimist ministers kambwili to fan the flames of tribal arnchy by going on air to tell about the fake news , the PF hutu are not happy tribal war did not break out.

    Now they have come up with this fake story to equalise the matters.

    OP and lungu know who are posting these stores.

  8. Spaka epo uchili? And who listens to a discredited illiterate cadre like you Sir? You are lucky that at least Terrible tries very hard to put you where you belong and in the process you can pretend to.have an audience.

    • Terrible my brother.

      I was about to go to zambia to work but your honerable kambwili issued instructions to all parastatals to only employ relatives

  9. How come the police failed to refute documented video footage of a UPND young lady stripped naked in front of Inonge Wina on youth day?

  10. I SENT €100 TO ZAMBIA YESTERDAY TO HELP OUT MY AGING FATHER WHO IS 93YRS OLD. I NOW GOT A MESSAGE THAT THE BANK IN KABULONGA FAILED TO CASH OUT THE MONEY SAYING THE BANK HAS NO CASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO?

  11. There is need to verify such stories. Overlapping Minister Kambwili only cares when the story involves him. Then it is false and he’s quick to refute and insult the author. If the story presents an opportunity for him to gain political milleage even if it is false, he hurriedly organises a press conference on ZNBC to pour scorn at the opposition. I e no matter how sxpect you overlapping Minister to use your doctorate degree knowledge and take time to verify stories no matter how sweet they may taste.

  12. President Edgar Lungu says he will not risk the lives of Zambians at the expense of the remaining in political office.
    President Lungu says he is not desperate to remain in power because it is God who appointed him to be President. The Head of State says it is sad that some opposition political parties want to use violence to get into power.

    President Lungu says it is unfortunate that some lives have been lost in the process while others have been injured due to electoral violence. He said Police have intensified their presence and will ensure that persons perpetrating violence are brought to book regardless of their political affiliation.

    President Lungu was speaking when he addressed a rally in Mumbwa district this afternoon. President Lungu said he is aware that some UPND cadres…
