Fake Rumour sends Residents of Mazabuka, Kaloma and Choma into a celebration frenzy

SOME residents of Mazabuka, Kalomo and parts of Choma were yesterday in celebration frenzy after a fake rumour went round saying that United Party for National Development (UPND) leader has won the petition.

The celebrations are said to have started around 02:00 hours yesterday upon hearing the fake story and some residents of Mazabuka’s Kabobola Township went into agog. This news spread to Choma’s Chandamali, Kalomo’s Mawaya and also other towns went into wide celebrations that was characterised with music dance and honking of vehicles.

Southern Province Police Commissioner Godwin Phiri said his officers in Kalomo arrested one person for conduct likely to cause the breach of peace.

“It is regrettable that some mischievous elements continue to fun instability by outrageous pronouncements. Police are well positioned to act and accordingly and anyone participating in lawlessness will only have themselves to blame when found on the wrong side of the law,” he said.

He said the police also arrested suspected UPND cadres Obrid Sianjana and Clive Mweene both of Bwacha Township for being in possession of breaking elements around 03:00 hours yesterday whilst the police conducting patrols.

But senior citizen Edward Masiwa has counseled the UPND members to desist from believing the fake stories that had been created because there was no report of any candidate winning the election Petition.

“This matter is in court and there was no court judgement, people of Southern Province be careful as you may be cited for contempt these are works of our enemies,” he said.

    • Just same as PF celebrated. And it’s friday, and still no president inauguration, only some Chuulu said Edgar had 50.3 %, premature celebrations is same premature ejaculation, only to be asked “whats wrong, are to going to finish?”.

  1. Southerners don’t be so desperate whereby you can even trust foolishness, you should know that Hi Hi failed the elections period. The evils of GBM, Nevers and Hi Hi God is watching, they will pay back in his own special way. Just wait a minute and see, starting with petition UPND will fail and then SIN will catch them. MARK MY WORDS.

  2. This is how losers behave. Whoever won a presidential election by getting less votes & then the court makes him president? Which province? Southern Te???

  3. Kikikikkkiki desperation. No shortcut in life. Cu in 2021 if your party will survive under GBM and Martha Mushipe. Kikikikik awe mweeee

  4. This is the PF spreading false rumours so they can place us under army control and declare a state of emergency —

    • How can innocent celebrations call for the Army to “control” anybody, or be a cause for a “State of Emergency”? What sort of celebrations do our friends in Southern Province have? Should we say VIOLENT ONES!?

      Just accept the fact that you got “conned”. And I am sure the Con man/woman is by now having a field day laughing their head off at how gullible some species of humans can be. Hahahahaha…..you are not even ashamed to try and spin this one ka. Ya ya ya ya ya ya….inkumbu nebo mwinsho!

      Stay off ZWD you may have a chance to be saved from the kind of BRAINWASHING and DIVISIVE INDOCTRINATION going on on that Website. Yaba, it is like Southern Province no longer resides on planet Earth ‘shuwaa’. Iyeeeeeee…..!

  5. This is a sign of what is to come. The pf are spreading lies in order to find an excuse to declare state of emergency. We know lungu is scared and one of his own op officers has informed us of his evil plans

  6. The power of rumour mongaling. Please don’t just read Zambia Watch Dog wait until the Con-court finishes its work. How can someone cheat others such like that?

  7. The same OP officers who is informing you is informing you lies. It would be better to wait and get the truth. The truth can be painful sometimes but that is the way it is. Let us wait.

  8. Truth is elusive sometimes…and the gullible always suffer in their folly. Woe to those who thrive on the uninformed and pander falsehood; that merry may be sweeter at their expense!

  9. Yes I am told that HH has handed over UPND to GBM in preparation for 2021. Can you celebrate you UPND cadres that GBM is now president of UPND……Yes the UPND is celebrating.

  10. Okay if HH wins the petition and we go for the rerun, can he win the rerun? I doubt very much based on the already announced figures by ECZ. In addition my opinion is that HH will lose some voters because of his petition.

  11. Hahahahaha very Strange, i witness the celebration in Siavonga town on 24th August 2016 around 13:00hrs, i just heard the noise of people like crying, what came into my mind was funeral procession but what surprised me was the Vuvuzelas started blowing everywhere, i was very confused with the happenings, after asking one gentleman, i was told there were celebrating ati HH a winner. These celebrations lasted for close to three hours before the clouds started dispersing and the noise slowly subsiding. This was even before the the court Hearing,,,,, Wapya munzi,

    • kikiki what nsoni mune? I have always been here. We warned you that if you attempt to rig these elections you will face the hardcore law of this nation. Now look at how PF are panicking, busy adjourning the case to buy themselves time. They think that when 14 days lapse that lungu will become president. PLease tell your silly president to handover power to the speak asap

  12. HH and GBM will just soon or later be appaering at ICC for CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY for causing INTERNALLY DISPLACEMENT OF ZAMBIAN IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, LOOTING ARSON AND KILLINGS.
    ZAMBIANS have become reffugees in their own country. United Nations Commission for Refugees in Zambia should come to the aid of DMMU in Southern Province and Western,

    Madame FATOU BENSOUDA and your assistant Prosecutor at ICC James Stewart come quickly to Zambia’s Southern Province and prove it that we have Zambian refugees within the country.

  13. This sounds like a cooked up fabricated story blown out of proportion full of lies and malice with no basis. In today’s times with availability of oline media, you mean to say that all those people could not cerify the information. Its not true.. watch out PF kaponya tactics aiming to tarnish UPND image. We know who is behind political violence and may u be held accountable and pay for every blood u ve shed.

  14. On way or the other Lozi’s will get what they want if lungu passes away during his term. Inonge will become president and their Tonga cousins will also be very happy.
