Too bad my dear Mwale. Those tribalists are bent on harming anyone whose from the north or east of the country. Run away and never return
No one is being tribal instead its the people like chishimba kambwili feeding people with wrong information just know that all the blood being shed in this country it will be on these peoples heads
Please be responsible. This type of comment is nauseating, polarizing, condescending. Reading through your comments and try to be sensible.
Its not tribal look at the names listed there Mwale Mabvuto on list of assailants so it has nothing to do with tribe unless all were Tongas.
A spear stab must extremely painful kaa.
@Saulosi, have you ever been speared before with imisumbo?
UPND has now become a micky mouse party…….but the mighty PF is about to crush and finish this tribal party and send it into obliviation and never to be heard of again…
Edgar Lungu 5 more years
I thank you
Tribal statements like these @Katondo boys do NOT help anybody. Such statements are fueling hatred in the country. Please desist from turning a sensitive issue into an explosive situation. We’d be better off if you simply kept quiet.
Saulosi you are a foolish chap because everyone knows that we in upnd are adamantly against violence of any sort. Why do you think we have filed petition in courts of Zambia. If we wanted we would have taken to streets. The articles says alleged and until the courts rule whether this man was upnd or not , you will shut that mouth if yours OK?
NEZ, welcome to Lusaka Times. With the kabvullubvulu you caused on Tumfweko, I can assure followers of LT that it shall never be the same again
Saulosi and friend above you are used condoms because everyone knows that we in upnd are adamantly against violence of any sort. Why do you think we have filed petition in courts of Zambia. If we wanted we would have taken to streets. The articles says alleged and until the courts rule whether this man was upnd or not , you will shut that mouth if yours OK?
Go to the street in Lusaka and we see if you will be spared. NEZ you are one of the most useless cadres. You think that Petition is becoz you want peace?? what a Joke. Try violence in our peaceful lusaka or CB and you see what will happen to you. You shameless people.
NEZ and Trueth…,
You are not a good combination. its like Milk & Lemon am sure you know what happens when they mix.
Please lets observe the rules of Democracy and use our language correctly. None wins a political war. Only the Nation Loses its inhabitants and Time to progress in developments is now.
What ever happens lets finish it calmly. GOD BLESS YOU
Enjoy wisely
Iwe ka @Nez… and @Splaka…, namutumpa sana tufi Ka-calor imwe. You are always up on blogs farting your rubbish like OVERFED COWS. I think Zambians have tolerated your UPND nonsense for far too long. And you seem to have mistakenly interpreted this to mean weakness. Don’t push your luck too far you FUGS. If you think you have seen violence, wait until the Constitutional Court tries to take this election from the rightful person who won it outright. Then you will understand what VIOLENCE MEANS—you can count on that!
You two probably won’t even be there to see it or experience it. You will be hiding in some foreign Country scratching your two shriveled up little nuts while your relatives burn. Why don’t you find something constructive to do with your time than yapping day and…
continue…
…night encouraging hatred and genocidal behaviour. Do you think if this violence really spreads Tongas living in other parts of the Country will be spared? GROW UP YOU F00LS. MWANYA!
To the two id.ots @3.4
You are such a coward chaging your ID like a wet dog..
You are part of the same bemba theives who steal without conscious.
Indeed the infected swamp between your mother’s legs that produced you should have been drained not disinfected…..
Spaka you have hit the nail on the head. This silly boy called two id.ots is a deluded chap. He goes on about threatening violence should the courts find in our favour. This is not your silly grandfathers country. The law of the country is supreme. It is a well known fact that pf rigged these elections. If youare confident you did things fairly then why not leave it to courts to decide? I am born raised and currently live in zambia. No violence will erupt here apart from me whipping you like a silly school boy.
iwe panyopobe which streets can u go to and riot,we cant allow u here in LSK and CB,unless u tell me that u can riot in NORTH WESTERN,SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PROVINCES
Where is HH to condemn this? I am sure he is enjoying the show hoping that this is the last line of defense for him to get to state house. He was writing stupid letters to the AU, UN, SADC, EU etc pretending that he is championing peaceful elections when in fact he is the opposite of what he wrote.Is he not ashamed?? Violence is only in his area.Does it mean each time a candidate loses his supporters should start killing people? Is this the kind of democracy we want in Zambia. Sata (MHSRI) lost several times in very unfair circumstances but at no time did his supporters did this. Equally RB lost to Sata, Mazoka (MHSRIP) lost to Manawasa (MHSRIP) in a very questionable Elections as well but we never experienced such violence. It is the reason why I totally blame HH and UPND leadership for…
You are a useless excuse of a human being. Where was lungu when a upnd female supporter was shot dead in broad day light? Don’t be silly young boy. You want one rule for pf thugs and another for the rest? Who do you think you are kikiki. Te country yabwiso iyi
Ba NEZ, it’s not too late the hospital is open.
Ba NEZ muzafapo chabe na bp…..tonga moron. We dont eat hh your god. Ifintu ni lungu
…………….. It is the reason why I totally blame HH and UPND leadership for this Violence. Tongas are generally peaceful people but their leaders have planted seeds of hatred which they have been preaching day and night. The Results of that hatred is now here for us all to see. May God Bless our Country
Stupid *****, the Tongas have been marginalised by you *****s Northerners and Easterners and you think they are happy. Your clueless ECL has just put together the ingredients for Civil Strife, Zambia will never be the same again, mark my words. I’m Bemba in case you think I’m Tonga.
Kaili what do you expect a satanist to do Trueth? HH is a mason …
It’s now very clear that UPND has been exposed…it’s not a Political party as per se but the beautiful people of Zambia have just realized that UPND is a tribal grouping well bent on bringing anarchy in Zambia…but just watch how the mighty PF with President Edgar Lungu at the helm finishes them….we will make sure you stick your smelly bottoms right there where you belong in Pemba…Zimba…Chikankata…Mazabuka..choma
Edgar Lungu 5 more years
I thank you
LT you have become a trumpet in support of PF corruption and brutality.
That heading, that man was wounded in a domestic argument. But to you LT every murder or assult you attach the name UPND.
Why don’t you show the bloodied UPND supporters assaulted by PF seen everyday on other media ?
Even in the stealing of votes LT was supportive of PF.
Shame on you LT.
your logo at the to there should read……
LT keeping you informed of PF good rule.
@spaka you ate so childish!!! Grow up. What colour is your heart????
Two of my colleagues who voted for UPND told me yesterday that they just wasted their votes…and they swore they will never ever vote for this tribal grouping UPND again …never…. and thats 2 votes lost already for the 2021 elections…
EDGAR LUNGU 5 MORE YEARS
I thank you
My other friend called me a few minutes ago…..also regretting voting for savages UPND tribal micky mouse party…..please keep counting…3 votes lost for the 2021 elections….and I can assure you come 2021….the tribal micky mouse UPND will just be a Nakambala sugar Party…they should move their head office to Zimba or Namwala
EDGAR LUNGU 5 MORE YEARS
I thank you
My many phone calls in zambia have shown widspread anxiety among zambians warly of the same borrowing ,stealing, corruption and unemployment that characterised PF rule.
They dread another 5 years of that where lungus bank account doubles every year and PF officials become millionaires overnight.
Spaka like itole…….
This is so overwhelming…….every non Tonga that voted for Tribal Micky mouse UPND has expressed regret…….but I have assured them that there’s no need to worry….UPND has only 6 months left on its shelf life…infact it’s well past due it’s best before date…..as soon as the concourt throws out your silly petition…we are deregistering you and we will kick you out of Lusaka..CB…Luapula..Nothern…Central…Eastern….Muchinga…..yours will be Southern province where you belong. We don’t need you
Edgar Lungu 5 more years
I thank you
Yes indeed ……Edgar Lungu 5 more years to double in account every year and borrow some more
….at the end of 5 years he will have accumulated $77 million and zambias debt will be at $20 billion.
Way to go fintu ni lungu…..
Spaka like lilo and NEZ go back to Tumfweko where you belong……
I DON’T SUPPORT VIOLENCE REGARDLESS OF WHO COMMITS IT. BUT IN THIS CASE, LET THE POLICE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE. I HERE THESE PEOPLE WHO DEAL IN FISH BUSINESS INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN ILLICIT LOVE AFFAIRS.
Edgar and PF have killed more 50 Tongas and Lozis since 2011.Shat up chi wamila galu kuluma Mbuzi.
What an ***** nez is.rotten brains
the truth hurts and it is clear to see that your are hurting terribly..I prescribe 50 panadols. go hang you pillock!!!
This NEZ tonga or kalubale ***** …a real id.iot
@Nez, UPND your party is a violent party. Whenever I saw them during campaigns I read “trouble” in their faces. And I have seen them in action many times, mean lethal and heartless are not enough to describe them. You need some ugly word from Satan’s vocabulary.
Mr Terrible…
Did you see the footage from mutendere were PF were attacking a bus of UPND supporters like hungry dogs ? Zambia has never seen such savegry which coincides with the creation of PF. The promoting of lungu to the presidency has doubled the violence and tribal hatred.
The Only other place was Rwanda during the genocide did a senior minister come on air to stroke tribal wars. Kambwili was doing just that going on air to tell lies about a bemba woman attacked by tongas and lungu did not correct him even after proving it was all lies.
spaka has again hit the nail on the head. It seems PF cadres are so biased such that they want to clean other peoples faeces before cleaning their own. First sort out your house before throwing accusations on others which you cannot prove. Please name the party in zambia whose supporters have killed their opponents.. the only answer to that is PF. We never had such behavior before 2011… as soon as sata RIP took over, this country went down a cisspit. wake up chimbwi iwe
Police and serious NGOs should come up with a commission of inquiry to establish the number of Tongas abused by Bembas and Bembas or Ngonis abused by Tongas or lozis. We should extend to institutions or learning,working places and residence we need to take these tribal war seriously. Some pipo can be killed and hurried. Why should someone use a spear? WE NEED TO TRUTH NOW
The PF thugs in mutendere who attempted to murder and burn UPND supporters on a bus are still free despite video footage of their identities.
Because they are PF there is an explanation for their murderous actions…..this is total selective law and order….
You mean the water melon operation in mutendere under the able leadership of hh kalusa free fimofimo.
Mutinta
Video evidence hardly lies. Their identities are known, let the police arrest them.
I love Edgar but I wouldnt for or get killed over him
kikiki we are sorting out tumfweko mune, that is why website is offline. uPND is in talks to purchase it
kikiki we are sorting out 2umfweko mune, that is why website is offline. uPND is in talks to purchase it
How many hectares of tribe were planted this year because where ever I go People are talking Tribe? From the look of things we expect a bumper harvest of Tribe from which Zambia will earn a lot of foreign exchange after export. It is envisaged that its revenues will surpass those of copper. See, Zambia has managed to diversify.
Even if you purchase tumfweko it wont make any difference. Dont you have that watch dog that spreads your propaganda? What beneffit did it bring to the electorates?
@1.2, everyone knows that this party is tribal! This is the end of their support in other provinces! Watch this space! Next elections will be worse off for them!
@11.1, At the end of 5 years there will be more development in Zambia! Shame on you haters! Hazalusa Hagain!
Wako ni wako party Pamafi party.
for now everything wrong is UPND as lusaka times fight to help lungu spread tribalism. they never report many attacks in lusaka or coperbelt
