Opposition UPND Lusaka Province Spokesman Gilbert Liswaniso is still locked up in Woodlands Police cells almost a week since he was arrested.

Mr. Liswaniso was picked from UNZA Radio where he was featuring on a Special program called the Lusaka Star earlier this week.

It is alleged that Mr. Liswaniso issued disparaging remarks against President Edgar Lungu and has since been charged with seditious practices and inciting violence.

And UPND Lusaka Province Vice Chairman for administration Nonde Sikasote has described the continued detention of Mr Liswaniso as an act of injustice.

Mr. Sikasote believes the Patriotic Front will aim at nothing but to silence divergent views in order to remain in power forever.

    • @BUCK TEETH …AND YOUR FELLOW RANK TRIBALISTS AND REGIONALISTS LIKE @JAY JAY ARE A STAIN TO ZAMBIA’S NAME. ALL YOU SEE EVERYWHERE THROUGH YOUR ETHNIC-TINTED LENSES IS TRIBALISM.
      YOU WILL DIE OF JAUNDINCE BECAUSE EVEN IN 2021 hh WILL STILL LOSE BECAUSE OF YOUR DUNDUMWEZI MENTALITY WHILE THE REST OF PROGRESSIVE ZAMBIA MARCHES ON!!!

    • This is the cost of tribalising and politicizing national security professionalism suffers.The police is full of PF cadres who will eventully cost our treasury a lot of money thru unlawful dentations besides the harm its doing to our national standing.5yrs ago Zambia had respectable Economic and political standing now we are competing with Zimbabwe and Uganda in destroying our economy and mistreating our citizens.

  1. Very very sad indeed in our country Zambia police they’ve stopped doing their normal operations want they know now is that criminals are upnd members that’s so n they busy arresting them as a nation where ar we going now brethrens

    • Keep on dreaming. Edgar has got the responsibility to keep peace. An American air service woman has been imprisoned for 35 years for possession of a banned book called “hacker, whistle blower, spy ” so if your official is inciting people he should face the music. By the way HH claimed that the ZP was under his command what has happened?

  2. Hasn’t got a lawyer who can arrange for his police bond? How come GBM, Nevers and HH can manage to bail out with ease.

  3. I don’t support President Lungu, as Zambians we need a Dictator if we had one we could have changed. We are good at talking, do less work and want to have more money at the same time with massive development in the country. I think a dictator will will wipe our ass and ass holes to think and work harder to boost the country’s development than disrespecting any leader who is heading our state.

    Shame on us.

  4. We visited our comrade we consoled him that our outgoing leader and losing Presidential Candidate HH is unable to visit them because he had travelled to Kasama to accompany GBM as pay back when GBM accompanied the Great Leader to a family funeral. You will recall GBM imposed his daughter as the party candidate and she performed miserably. We went to speak with the official UPND lawyer madam Mushipe but her office and some of her files where strewn outside so she referred us to another lawyer Muleza who said it was an easy case and he gave us a bill… so we are now trying to raise the deposit before the lawyers act. We shall visit him again tomorrow.

  5. Don’t mistaken freedom of speech to this anarchy and inviting public to burn Zambia because they lost Elections. Someone swore to safeguard the peace of citizens. If you want to trade peace for violence because you are mourning the election lose the law will surely meet you head-on and it’s you and your family to lose. Think thrice before indulging in violent acts. You are free to air your grievance in a peaceful way and no one will touch. Don’t think zambians will riot when you get locked up in cells NEVER.

  6. Patriot Zambian I like your comment,we complain too much and lazy at the sometime if you have observed most comments are a blame game we need to stand has Zambians and find solutions not just hoping that one day these politician will fix things no!!!! It has to start with the way we think no politician will give you money never,they meet and you’re busy with hate speach wake up guys.

  7. Bemba’s who support UPND wake up, you are just being used by these tribalists. Just look at “Buck teeth lungu’s’ comment ati , Boers were better than Bemba colonialists

    • @BUCK TEETH …AND YOUR FELLOW RANK TRIBALISTS AND REGIONALISTS LIKE @JAY JAY ARE A STAIN TO ZAMBIA’S NAME. ALL YOU SEE EVERYWHERE THROUGH YOUR ETHNIC-TINTED LENSES IS TRIBALISM.
      YOU WILL DIE OF JAUNDICE BECAUSE EVEN IN 2021 hh WILL STILL LOSE BECAUSE OF YOUR DUNDUMWEZI-LIKE MENTALITY WHILE THE REST OF PROGRESSIVE ZAMBIA MARCHES ON!!!

  8. Dictatorship is the only way we can sort out the noise and build up Dundumwezi in the right way.keepit up Zambia police.

  9. Cage them its ok. Keep them inside until they stop dreaming.
    We dont need them in society in that state of dreams they distract those of us who are working to develop the country.

  10. Do you expect the Police to sit down and fold their hands as rebellious individuals advance their evil agenda whose aim is nothing but to just cause instability in the nation in the name of freedom of expression and justice? Go ahead my friend, break the law and you will meet the full wrath of the Police.

  11. ECL truly has demonstrated that he upholds Rule of Law. If I were the President honestly speaking I would have locked up HH, GBM, Martha Mushipe and probably Kakoma a long time ago.

  12. Truly speaking I strongly feel that UPND, under the leadership of Jack Mwiimbu can be a better and attractive party. I could be persuaded to join UPND. HH has never been attractive to me.

  13. “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government”.
    Edward Abbey

    “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom – and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech”. Benjamin Franklin

  14. Us Zambians need a very serious and determined dictator who is ready for anything and that way, we would sit upright. All i see are insults, insults and insults from the opposition. H.E, THE PRESIDENT HAS A BIG HEART, you may not believe this but no one would do what zambians are doing to KK, cHILUBA AND NOT EVEN TO SATA. my plea is that the president should wake up and punish one or two seriously and all this would end. Remember how the protest and illegal matching ended when one wrong but decisive decision was made before elections. Such decisions are meant to protect citizens against perpetrators of violence

  15. Upnd officials should come to terms with reality that elections are over and ECL is President of Zambia. I know healing takes time but they just have to because their sympathizers have forgoten about elections and have moved on. It will not help them in any way by insulting the head od state and expect to get away with it. Let them get to the drawing boad as quickly as posible if they havr to make themselves relevant in 2021 general elections. Otherwise, they will never rule this country. Thats a friendly advice.
