President Edgar Lungu has reiterated his call for people to remain law abiding as he would not let Law and Order break down in the following.
He has called for calm following the arrest of opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema and warned those plotting violent protests that they would be faced by the full force of the law.
President Lungu also used the opportunity to thank the people of Mpulungu for their massive votes they gave him during the August 2016 General Elections.
“I came here for chiefly to say thank you because I come from a well mannered society”.
“I came here to fulfill our campaign promises and to learn more about what you want us to do, President Lungu telling residents of Mpulungu now.”
” Zambians are trusting the PF more and more because they know they have decent government in place”.
“Those seeking to take power using underhand methods are tempting fate and let me warn that I will take no nonsense from anyone bent on disturbing our peace”.
“Elections are over and the final whistle was blown by the elections office and courts”.
“Those asking me to intervene in a case of police apprehending one lawbreaker are wasting time and please leave alone, President Lungu tells a cheering crowd at Muzabwera grounds in Mpulungu”.
“I am quite and peaceful but not a coward and so UPND MPs planning anarchy will face the full force of the law. The police are here to deal with any mischief.”
“I want to show you that when you voted for me you did not for a coward and you did not vote for violence and unnecessary disorder”
“We promised to revive Mpulungu Harbour and I am here to tell you we are moving to fulfil the promise. We have signed a $27million deal with new investors to run the Harbour. The secret of success is to walk the talk”– President Lungu appealing at public rally.
“President Micahel Sata promised to change this country and he moved rapidly to fulfill his promises and I have carried on from there…”
“I came here for chiefly to say thank you because I come from a well mannered society. I came here to fulfill our campaign promises and to learn more about what you want us to do”, President Lungu telling residents of Mpulungu now.
“Zambians are trusting the PF more and more because they know they have decent government in place”.
“Those seeking to take power using underhand methods are tempting fate and let me warn that I will take no nonsense from anyone bent on disturbing our peace”.
“Elections are over and the final whistle was blown by the elections office and courts”.
“Those asking me to intervene in a case of police apprehending one lawbreaker are wasting time and please leave alone”.
President Lungu tells a cheering crowd at Muzabwera grounds in Mpulungu.
“I am quite and peaceful but not a coward and so UPND MPs planning anarchy will face the full force of the law. The police are here to deal with any mischief”.
“I want to show you that when you voted for me you did not vote for a coward and you did not vote for violence and unnecessary disorder”
“I promise you that no part of Zambia is a no go area and let me announce that I will soon travel to Sinazongwe to open a project. Let me see who says this and that area is a no go area!”
“I went to Mongu in peace and informed the Litunga that I came in peace and do not want to politicize the ceremony but they tried their best to provoke us and the police and the result is now in the public dormain. I leave this matter since it is sub-judice”
“We can do business without the UPND we can run Parliament without them we can run the country with them and so we are proceeding without them but I will not allow them to spoil it for all us”,
President Lungu concludes his address at Muzabwera.
Give it a break & change the topic Chakolwa!!
This Cr@p has become tiring.
Talk of how you will develop Zambia, as we who are analytical thinkers are beginning to realise this is your attempt to distract from real issues like the rapid deterioration of living standards.
Also try Alcoholics anonymous, they do really help.
So it shall be!
Truth if Hungry Hyena brought this on itself! Where in the world can you go around insulting a President and then going further to block a motorcade not responding to the Police instruction to stop by the road side as the as the police vehicle sweepers had instructed HH’s motorcade- such actions sadly lead to a reaction. If HH is a man he should be strong and not complain ati my “face is swallon I’ve inhaled poison tear gas” like a cry baby that he is. Kukosa nga muli mwaume. Otherwise as mentioned best the cretin is released by the same courts this Human Hyena and his blood thirsty animals condemned so we concentrate on other more important issues.
Speak mr President and let very law breaker hear and understand. We want peace and Zambia is the only country we have. If anyone want to go state house he must wait until the next elections. Lungu is the President for now and let’s respect that office. He has the power and not those wasting time tell people that he’s not the President.
Cage them. We don’t want law breakers. Some people think they’re more important than the others.
Olo nikufuna recognition si so ba kristu ba lungu, first you deny to give them a permit to use a chopper, when they decide to use a dilapidated rural road which is roughly patched you still follow them even when you had 3 choppers at your disposal in mongu, i only used to see such behavior when i was a kid, when this guy would cry even for the little that you have, so that everything can be his, what pf did in mongu was purely childish.
A Lungu bufontini bwanu bwanyanya (Paul Ngozi)
Am happy with the Police action on this hungry hyena. Please let this tribalist kaponya, perpetual loser & id.iot rot in jail. He is just a mere citizen. He is not a president & will never be one. Cage him and throw away the keys.
Just watch a you tube video released before elections predicting Lungu to be a full blown dictator if allowed to rigg elections.
Watch” arise zambia muntu ” you tube video and spread around
You are next for insult the President
Lungu has released all PF murderers and even failed to arrest some at all.
He knows who killed Mapenzi but he gave instructions to Kanganja to ignore the killer because he is Kennedy Kamba.
When bullets are given out they are counted out and when returned they are counted in . So its easy to pin point the one who used the bullet amongst those carrying guns given to them by the police . Claiming that the police has no clue who killed Mapenzi is big joke.
Now Lungu is being asked to release genuinely innocent people who have not commited any crime and you say should not interfere. How come he has on several occassions interferred to defend PF criminals
Zambia PF has no laws to be followed because Lungu himself does not respect thr law at all.
RELEASE HH UNCONDITIONALLY.
All these because he failed to go to Egypt on Monday.
He needs a foreign trip so Inonge can lead the country.
@ Buntu i’ve just watched the youtube video (Arise Zambia Chagwa must fall#). It’s so spot on.
If there’s a armed rebel military group being formed, please please, I’m ready to join the ranks. dialogue with this Museveni wanna-be is a waste of time. My wife will take care of the kids.
Dununa reverse is taking the country back to UNIP one party dictatorship.
FREE HH NOW!!
Here’s the real evidence that Lungu is NOT a christian. How can a person who claims to be a true christian teargas children & act so evil on around Easter? Just last month this same man was in Jerusalem raising his hands at Jesus’s tomb.
Imwe some pipo think they can mock God.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS COUNTRY IS DIVIDED, CHECK THE COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THEY ARE IDENTIFIED BY SIR NAMES ON TRIBAL GROUNDS… PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED REASONING AND BLOGGING RATIONALLY BUT RATHER TRIBAL. THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY MEANINGFUL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CASE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH EFFORT IS PUT IN. AS THIS WILL BE GOING ON, A FEW PEOPLE LOCALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY WILL BE THRIVING WHILST THE MAJORITY WILL BE SUFFERING.
THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP SHOULD EMBARK ON EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE PATH AND FOCUS ON ERADICATING THIS DISEASE. OTHERWISE ZAMBIA WILL CONTINUAL BREAKING DOWN LONG AFTER OUR LEADERS ARE GONE. LET US STOP SOWING THIS SEED OF DISCORD AND EMBARK ON UNITING WITH ONE ANOTHER. THERE IS NO BENEFIT IN HATING ONE ANOTHER OR CELEBRATING WHEN ONE IS HATING.
OUR ENEMY IS NOT THIS…
OUR ENEMY IS NOT THIS OR THAT TRIBE OR THIS OR THAT LEADER OR THIS OR THAT PARTY BUT OUR COMMON ENEMY IS POVERTY!!! THIS WE MUST PUT OUR EFFORTS AND FIGHT IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR TRIBES OR POLITICAL AFFILIATION.
REMEMBER HOW MUCH FIGHT THE FATHERS OF THIS NATION PUT UP TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A PEACEFUL AND ADMIRABLE COUNTRY TO OURSELVES, ALL TRIBES COME TOGETHER IN UNIT WITH ONE GOAL OF OBTAINING INDEPENDENCE BUT ALAS!!! HERE WE ARE TODAY PUTTING IN THE SAME EFFORT IN DIVIDING OUR COUNTRY… LET US STOP THIS FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. …LET US STOP THIS FOR THE SAKE OF DEVELOPING THIS NATION…LET US STOP THIS FOR THE SAKE OF BEING CHRISTIANS…LET US STOP THIS AS IT IS NOT TAKING US ANYWHERE. GOD HELP US TO UNITE AGAIN. HELP US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER DESPITE OUR…
This is a challenge indeed. We shall witness the ultimate. Hitler, Musollini, Marcos, Mobutu, Gbabdo, Pinochet, Amin, Gadaffi, etc all tried it against the people. Where are they today? It won’t be long.
UPND should urgently seek audience with the United Nations through the local UNDP Resident Representative for support and guidance.
Lungu is a liar and has no integrity. He gave the command to murder HH. He sent hundreds of police to arrest one man . HH has always cooperated with the police when summoned. Lungu has become a dictator. He will cause a civil war! The police used expired tear gas. Expired tear gas breaks down into cynaide. Not surprised HH is not feeling well.
Lungu is satan and not a christian. He is a dictator! Half of the country did not vote for Lungu as his satanic ways! He will cause a civil war! HH now has cyanide poisoning because police used expired tear gas! The police are not above the law. Corrupt police must also be prosecuted when they break the law. Tear gas is only used in riots! There the police broke the law! The also tortured his workers! A dictator as President and dirty corrupt police have taken over Zambia!
The devil Lungu will be in church today praying to Satan!
Lungu will only bring destruction to Zambia. He is a terrible leader. He cannot unite the country! Even footballers can unite the country! A true leader would be able to unite the tribes of Zambian. Lungu will make Zambia the laughing stocks of Africa! He is behaving like Sudanese etc. Zambians do not kill and harass our own people!
Dictatorship starts this way. PF wants to rule without 49% of the Zambian population. Really…..
Why is Lungu-mungulu POISONING HH?
I hear he wants to take him to Northern province where HH’s family & friends can’t visit him & they’ll finish him from there.
Even if u hate someone so much, such evil will bring chaos to the country.
Just like they killed ZAF Officer Mark Choonga over a traffic offence, they’ll kill HH over a traffic offence.
It’s about time ECL. We can’t condone rampant disorderly conduct from losers.
Zambia is PEACE!
YOU TOLERATED THE ACCUSED FOR FAR TOO LONG: I TOO THOUGHT YOU WERE A TERRIBLE WEAK AND COWARD FREAK.
=====================
Alas! You are a smart political genius. The fellow just got enough rope to hung himself with. He though it was business (of insulting and getting careless) as usual. Let him taste jail even for the money he stole from poor miners indirectly. HH is just a civilian who should be governed by our Laws with no immunity. Innocent until proven guilty. He must appear in court.
Focusing on Wrong things. Campaigns are on yet his opponent is in Jail. Lungu has failed Zambians its a shame. Its like that state house is cursed. why do people change so much that they cant even think for the poor..
THE REAL COWARDS ARE UPND CHAPS – SUPPORTERS, SURROGATES AND SYMPATHETIC GOONS.
======================
I mean this flock if people failed to advise HH properly. They sing blind praises. The diplomatic corps seem to be confused about this; they need not. But instead of hitting headlines in the media kindly seek the audience of (meet) the diplomats and enlighten them about Zambia’s position the rule of law. You know it better than they do. You swore to protect Zambia and its Laws.
The president is right.
Why should people encourage someone to break the law, and after he breaks the law they say pardon him, reconcile with him.
If those calling on the president to intervene in the treason case are serious and mean well for citizens and not just HH, they should ask the president to intervene (if at all he had the power) in all cases before the police and the courts.
They should also ask Lungu to empty the prisons because every life is important. The life of the guy who stole an egg from the compound is just as important as the life of HH.
And if there are any donors who may be said to be demanding the release of HH or withhold funding, should clearly state whether they want to use their money to fund anarchy, criminality and lawlessness.
Ludicrous statement from the President, that does not show good leadership
Lawyers should be lining up to represent HH free of charge? Lawyers are coming out of retirement to advise on this case.HH did not commit treason. Is there a lawyer brave enough to take on the government?
Our President HH as become useless now, I think us Lozi pliz let us stop supporting him. Better we support our own madam she is very wise and intelligent than disappointing hh. Or Take one of most intelligent MP to lead upnd or else I will support of but some of us we are used in opposition with issues. Mealimeal, prices not Paying Contractors their money on time after they borrowed somuch to sustained their projects, gunishing their accounts by ZRA, high interests rates by banks and now forcing pipo to bank their money so that at the end everything as being taken away. Now hh tolls nonsense and trying to break a simple law if not it puts the sitting president’s life in danger. Shame on those supoting lawlessness, and u are helping to put trouble for hh n yourself. Sakwiba Sikota…
HH out some one In for upnd President
HE IS EXHIBITING A TROUBLED MIND. I AM CERTAIN THAT HE IS SPENDING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU REAP, THAT HOW NATURE WORKS AND YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THAT. LUNGU IS A FRIGHTENED COWARD.
Funny, how.can they ask you if they don’t recognize you?
Let hh face the law. He must learn to start respecting his President Edgar Lungu. The chap has been losing elections since time in memorial but wants to behave as though he won. How can u win with one province supporting you?? We rejected this chap and he must know that he remains rejected in Zambia. In 2021 we Zambians will vote 4 our leader ECL again
This Edgar is a coward, so these arrests are to prove that he is NOT a coward?
How many thugs he work with who pick up street fights in front of him and he is scared of firing them?
“Those seeking to take power using underhand methods are tempting fate and let me warn that I will take no nonsense from anyone bent on disturbing our peace”
Lungu, take your own warning.
The people of Zambia are now warning YOU!
Underhand methods like pangas and rigging.
Police brutality on innocent Citizens.
Suppression of Freedom of speech and using public media to tell PF lies and spread untrue propaganda.
Stealing taxpayers money for rigging elections and personal enrichment.
Will NOT BE TOLERATED ANY MORE!
@ Joe Joe
u r on Point! Those primitive political tactics died with FTJ’s 2nd term.
I feel pit for Lungu.Those who had smoked weed now it has cleared like Kamba Kennedy tell your weak ,coward and sick Lungu that we shall not plead but soon it his him who will cry.Paul Kagame of Rwanda was helped by the Americans in Rwanda to flush all French sodiers ,Rwanda army and Government Officials who were involved in ethnic cleansing of the Tutsi. Remember The Hutu were and are still the majority. We are watching and monitoring the situation. when time comes any normal Zambian soldier ill trained, fed and with iron age Guns will not accept to fight for Lungu. Instead like in Gambia they will simply hand him over to us. Zambians I repeat HH is not a small man as you think, he owns a stake in major businesses in Zambia with international connections Zambia is weak financially and…
Ka Lungu nikamambla. He’s a drunkard and diseased man who will die as prophesised befor the end of this year and all Zambians will celebrate to have ou country back. Inonge Wina nihul.
Most people who think like Edgar Lungu would only express their views in private, because they’re shameful, but not this snob going for Zambian head of state. He engineered all this charade and even with his goons on the court benches, how could the Limulunga events pass for treason? What a lawyer ?
It is pure harassment and an excuse to trash HH’s house. Lungu will fix the courts to deliver yet again a nonsensical court ruling against HH and claim that it is the rule of law. Lungu is a totally selfish thug.
Ba Lungu, you are really a disappointment. Honestly speaking a leader who exhibits hate against citizens he presides over is no longer worth following. You have stooped so low in arresting HH, the is nothing you will gain from this apart from propping up the same person you have arrested. Worse of all, its very sad that you had commit this crazy act of your during easter, ba self confessed man of God. Mark my words, you ve lost the support of many Zambians who voted for you despite your short comings. RB, Mutati and the rest are just there to get what you have, open your eyes. Zambians should not expect any development from Lungu, he is petty and lacks focus as clearly demonstrated, please start looking at alternative leadership, Lungu is finished!!!
@ Kabs every country is governed by law and what the president is saying is right. There nothing wrong in arresting anyone breaking the law, if anything that keeps the country safe. If you’re not in support of the president’s call to arrest law breakers than you want to put the country on fire. Why should the law be applied to poor people only? About the leaders?
Lungu still has the support of many Zambians who want peace. If there’s fire in the country you same people will be say Lungu has destroyed the country. It’s better he lose popularity than putting the country on fire.
@ Musonda Kateule:
It’s pipo like u who r hero-worshipers & making Lungu a tin-pot despot dictator. Lungu is wrong to turn a traffic offence to treason.
Actually HH was NOT a driver of any of the vehicles in that convoy. The law is being misapplied & abused bcoz of the hatred for HH. There are pipo who blocked FTJ’s motorcade in the 90’s but non was ever charged with treason.
Lungu’s evil brutal PF in police uniforms will one day knock on your door, thats when you’ll start hating him.
Lungu shouldn’t abuse police, ZAF, ECZ, police brutality, ZRA to fight political battles.
Soon he’ll declare state of emergency requiring u to be home before sunset like a chicken. Maybe u were too young to remember KK’s curfew & abuse from police & unip vigilantes Zambians endured…
CONT’D…..
Maybe u were too young to remember KK’s curfew & abuse from police & unip vigilantes Zambians endured.
I’m not ready to go back to that. I’m ready to pick up a gun if push comes to shove.
Law was not meant to cause disunity but peace and prosperity. This kind of law is evil for it only divides a nation and take away peace and prosperity. Grace is what made Nelson Madela great. A great leader has grace and makes right Judgments. For a long time South Africa struggled not until Nelson Madela was released. How many innocent lives died over unforgiveness? Know this you’all who are supporting the arrest of HH the out come of his sentence will negatively affect the country big time, over one man’s security, who even did not suffer lose. That is why Sata with his insult was always out of it. Mwanawasa understood the consequences, but you are playing with peace. It is time we condemned what needs to be condemned. Some marriages right now have lost peace this is a fact. Stop this…
Well said my friend. I wish pipo can learn from countries who’ve had vioelnt pasts bcoz of harbouring so much hatred in their hearts.
In RSA no matter how much hatred for opposition, you’ll never find Zuma arresting Malema, Helen Zille or Maimane bcoz they’ve been thru what chagwa wants the country to plunge the country in.
opposition heckle Zuma in parliament on live tv but it’s there a mature democracy.
UNIP one party dictatorship is dead in the water, chakolwa can’t revive it.
When will Keiser zulu face the law. Video evidence but what is happening.
don t you know that Kaizer is the one running the country? Lungu is just a figure head;
To all our Tonga,Lozi,Kaonde,Luvale,Lunda,Lenje,Ila,Mbunda,Kachokwe,Lamba and Soli women married to easterners and Notherners starting denying them sex as protest to force them to relialise that what Lungu is doing to HH is bad and can not be accepted.Make sure you start now.Tell your children not to go to school or playing but stay home to remind dad what Lungu the evil man is doing to their country.We have suffered for too long to be treated as second class citizens in our country.
Thats why UPND and Tongas in particular will never rule Zambia. You like looking at anything with Tribalistic Spectacles ! What have northerners done in this issue ? Wasnt HH with a northerner when all this happened. No matter how good you pretend, you will always be a bunch of muthaf….king aszh0les that will NEVER RULE
Just waiting for NEZ to comment. I’m here for NEZ
I have commented below please refer to my comment. I thank you
Mr. President, we gave you a big whip. Crack it on any lawbreakers. Whip them hard.
@ Panda:
PF’s appetite for violence will soon catch up with them. Violence begets violence. Learn how war started from civil war-torn countries. It’s due to abuse of brutal power combined with looking down on pipo from other regions.
Who is the LAWBREAKER here?
The one that ignored the Constitution THREE TIMES? And stole 23 million in one year? Who rigged an election? And then fixed the Concourt judges to not hear the petition?
Or the one that has always respected the Courts?
Only someone that is blind, insane or just st.upid fails to see that this is just harassment, intimidation and persecutution to retain a stolen election.
Since when is it the duty of police to trash a Zambian Citizens house, assault his workers, steal his money and defecate on his bed?
If you are a Zambian Citizen beware! YOU may be next!
Is this bagga HH the first one to have lost the election? Zambia is bigger for an individual,all of defending HH behaviour you are one wasting your time,two Lungu has still 4 and a half years to rule,just stop the nonsense ya UPND,there are no manners in you guys ,your leaders and u can’t lead Zambia,u will get tired and some of you will end up having BPs over useless things that don’t even hold water. Politics time is over,if u are not happy having Lungu as your president move out of Zambia,go where HH is president
@ hol
So losing election means you deserve to go to be hanged for a traffic offense? Go to live in uganda if u miss living in a brutal dictatorship. lungu needs to start wearing bulletproof vests otherwise his safety is not guaranteed bcoz of his irresponsible actions.
Festus Mogae ex-president of Botswana used to cycle a bicycle alone to town without any bodyguards bcoz he was a prudent leader. In Zambia we have a weak leader admiring countries like Uganda . It’s backfired on him.
To all Tonga,Lozi,Luvale,Lunda,Mbunda,Kachokwe,Ila,Lenje,soli,Sala and Lamba men married to Bemba and Nyanja women,start a protest of not eating their food at home,if they don’t Change stop sleeping with them until they know that all were created in the image of God.
Chagwa is decamaigning MMD-PF big time! Those who crossed over from MMD to PF should remind PF how we did it under MMD. This is a classic on how not to run a country. It is dangerous to be confrontational as a leader. Why does he have to repeat the same topic when he has already given his position? It would have been better if he could keep his peace and silence and wait for the due process to be concluded but he has already given away the clues. He was the mastermind of the Mongu setup! He is both the arresting officer, prosecutor and judge who has already passed judgement on the accused. Under Chagwa, you are guilty until proven innocent. Human rights don’t matter to him. Anyone can brutalize you. When you are sick, medical help is denied. And yet these are the so called humble…
An offender is an offender regardless of his or her political status. Let’s not allow lawlessness in the name of soliciting for sympathy. HH was wrong and went to far with his behavior in mongu. Am UPND but IJA yeve niku pwanya myala pa police. Let’s face reality and this was after a lot of pleas for him to tone down even by his closest friends. Bemba’s say “amalibu yaku ilombela” or alternatively “ukulinganya ama role naba kateka kulaponwesha” tepapa.
Why didn’t you speak out when MCS was breaking the rule of law by denying RB his court approved passport to travel?
Kachasu drinker you’re only showing bravado cuz it all suits you politically.
… Chagwa warned HH before the elections and said if HH does not accept the election results, he will see what I will do to him. This was the evil plan from the beginning. These things take long to play out but Chagwa should realize that what makes you great is not being petty and vindictive! What makes you great is what Mandela said – Having all the power to destroy your enemies but refusing to use those powers for the sake of love, peace and socio-economic development! Time is ticking away and your term in office will be a big waste to Zambia because we are wasting time and resources on trivialities instead of making our country better!
It’s because the Supreme Leader HH of the UPND said he would not accept the election results if he lost but would only accept the results if he won…That was before the election for 2016 were even held…So don’t think we have forgotten what your Supreme Leader said,the person you worship…
But your small god HH said even before elections that he will not accept the election results if Lungu won. All that came to pass. Two elderly persons behaving immaturely.
Please dont pardon this idi.ot until he starts behaving like a normal human being. He is bitter becoz he lost a lot of money in the campaigns. He must know that hakaluza hagain in 2021. Not everyone is born to be a president. Ati forward?? Forward to no where! Everytime kupitilila pa State House kikiki. Just concentrate on rearing cattle in Gwembe mambala iwe
lungu is the one who’s bitter. HH has refused to bow down to his rigged elections. the last straw was when HH & GBM snubbed Lungu’s speech at Kuomboka & all the pipo followed & lungu failed to make the speech.
Lungu was also jealous & bitter of the overwhelming welcome given to HH. What a childish petty president u have. Even now Lungu is jealous of the overwhelming support HH is getting from the masses. The plot has backfired.
Lungu’s police brutality is like Kamuzu banda’s style & belongs in the dustbin. Evil people supporting such nonsense deserve to be shot up your ars_es.
U are a God fearing person Mr president and God always exalt the lowly and bring down the proud. HH must die or else I will stop supporting u. Law should be applied equally. In civil law, the “intention” of an action is very important, in other words, “the motive” behind the action of HH and his company intention Mongu should be clearly established because in my view, that is where the treason charge is
Thank you
@ Dj Deno
Happy Easter “God-fearing” people who wish so much evil & death unto others during Easter, the weekend when Jesus died for us.
I think by it should be god not God with a capital G.
Evil HYPOCRITES!!
ECL you have failed to sort out the reason why people have not recognized him and opt to punish them its not right, sort out the reason why MPs are walking out whenever you want to speak, prove that you won clearly let people have confidence in judiciary system and ECZ as before what PF is doing is treating symptoms of malaria instead of curing malaria itself. its a big problem that Zambia has found itself in because of selfishness of few individuals. Lord may every ngwee that the gained as result of election malpractice haunt them in Jesus name
Is Lungu really a a qualified lawyer? The law is very clear. HH is not a Law Breaker. He is innocent until proven guilty. At this stage HH is only a suspect on trumped up Treason Charges. Lungu baffles me. He says the Elections are over and the Final whistle was blown by ECZ and Concourt but the Petition is still in Court. Once a Petition was lodged the ECZ Declaration was Nullified and Lungu hasn’t got a Concourt Declaration in its place. Concourt dismissed the Petition without Legal Authority. Both ECZ Declaration and Concourt Petition Dismissal are Null and Void and therefore the Petition is very much alive. Lungu doesn’t want the Petition heard in Court becoz he knows he losy the Election and he will be found guilty of Electoral Theft in Court. That is why Lungu is strenuously…
Lekeni Lungu ateke icalo! We chose him legitimately and no one will take him out of our hands.Those tribalist MPs and other selfish *****s should read more about the concept of rule of law.they are not representing their tribal relatives there in Parliament, no but people of Zambia. We want peace and order.let our government and our Lungu lead Zambia in peace and not in pieces. Cage every law breaker!!!!
Lungu is guilty of stealing the 2016 Election. The Petition is a matter for the Courts and not for Political Rallies. If indeed Lungu’s Legitimacy is based on what ECZ and Concourt said then Lungu should get the ICJ’s confirmation. ICJ is a superior court to Concourt and therefore its Verdict will be final. So why is Lungu blocking the ICJ from hearing the Petition if he is innocent? The guilty are very afraid..very afraid. Let the Petition be heard in Court.
Even mkre problems in 2021. So many will be fighting for of leadership.
Inonge wina to be replaced by mumbi phiri, or madam mumbi might want to be first female president of zambia she is ambitious an has many youths around her
Amos chanda has high political aspirations.
Kambwilli is not silly, all these problems he is nowhere to be seen ,come 2021 he will smell like roses
So now the judge, law enforcer, executive and ruler of life has decided that hh is a law breaker. If I were lungu I would shut my mouth rather than keep digging my own grave. He is not the sharpest tool in the box. It is clear to see that chikopo sana lungu
@Dr Bill u are spot on. Lungu is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause of the disease. People are not recognising Lungu’s Presidency becoz they feel he stole the Election. Their perception that Lungu lost the Election is confirmed by Lungu himself who is refusing to prove his Win in Court. Lungu is refusing to prove his innocence in Court becoz he knows that based on evidence available he will be found guilty. Lungu is acting like a Shoplifter who is refusing a body search to prove that he is innocent. Instead of seeking a remedy to the Petition in Court Lungu has embarked on a path to imprison or kill the Petitioners to gain Legitimacy.This will not work.
ALL THOSE REJOICING OVER HH BEING LOCKED UP ARE PEOPLE WITH THE AGENDA OF A ONE PARTY STATE. ALREADY EVEN A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION IS DENIED US. THE PF ARE AFRAID TO SEE THE MASSES THAT WILL DEMONSTRATE FOR HH. ALSO WHAT WAS SO TREASONABLE ABOUT BEING ON THE SAME ROAD AS LUNGU? IF ANYONE SHOULD BE FIRED IT SHOUD BE THE IG.
LUNGU has a d$ck up his a-ss! Those teeth are the way they are because of too much sucking d$ck!
@16 Dr Bill, I am surprised that you people can allow an underfive to plant donkey genes in your brain. Here is the sequence of failures of UPND in 2016.
HH lost elections, ECL announced as winner, international and local elections observers sign off the elections as free and fair, inauguration of ECL as President is delayed as UPND launch petition, UPND forget to serve petition on the defence team of lawyers (14 days is ticking), UPND lawyers fail to prosecute petition (14 days is ticking), UPND lawyers abandon HH because they fail to prosecute petition in 14 days, HH appeals to Concourt judge that he has failed to prosecute his petition in 14 days as required by law and appeals for special consuderation for a few more days, the full Concourt bench throws out petition as 14 days is 14…

Contd…ECL starts to appoint cabinet and government starts working, hh embarks on senseless court battles and misleading his followers, hh loses his bearing and starts campaign of sabotage of infrastructure and disobedience and boasts his readiness to go to jail, his supporters fail to advise their leader, the chiefs from his area fail to advise their son……. .fast forward HH arrested and locked up for TREASON…..will be appearing in court for the next 12 months at least as his lawyers seek adjournment after adjournment, preliminiary issue after preliminary (same incompetence as in the petition) while hh languishes in jail……fast forward, after 25 months Courts finds hh guilty and he goes in for death by hanging, or not guilty and he walks to freedom but to a dead and buried UPND,…
Chikopo ni wiso sha!your friend is reading modules on how to recognize presidency. He will not be distracted as is he is a full time student
Contd…fast forward, after 25 months Courts finds hh guilty and EITHER he goes in for death by hanging, OR not guilty and he walks to freedom but to a dead and buried UPND, actually hh lost appetite for politics during his appearance in court.
This is what happens when power starts getting to your head. You forget that one day you will not be president and usually realise when its too late.
Let power not corrupt thought processes!
Conclusion: returns to settle in his village.
Akusamwa iwe ka chakolwa, but just know that not all Sundays are Sunday. Today you are at the top of the world but tomorrow you will be crying. You even have the guts to shout at the church and diplomats. Namusamwa ba lungu.
You are a very useless president! You yourself are a lawbreaker. Days are numbered for you drunkard president
@NEZ, good morning, you are still hallucinating while your leader is languishing? Amazing, you guys cant spare a thought for hh and you expect us to care for him? That guy is in for the long haul and he is not used to non luxurious conditions, the best you can do as human beings is to sympathize and pray for him, ask police if you can take some bacon ans eggs to him and if they can allow you to take some duvets to him. Instead you are uttering words which only makes him shudder when he reads them on social media everytime they allow him to browse for 5 minutes on his iphone……donkeys are heartless even to fellow donkeys.
Terrible aka asigai, bk and the remaining 50 aliases. It seems you are so desperate for attention from me. You have my attention for 2 seconds now. Use it wisely. Terrible makes up half the pf supporters here. What does it benefit you to have multiple names here. You are not mentally stable and I prescribe that you spend some time with real humans. Online addiction is a real thing. I know a boy who killed himself after an online buddy stopped responding to him.
Kikiki NEZ, you’ve hammered the attention seeking young man!
Abena terrible, what a shameful fart! Kikikiki
Terrible get a life. If you are she or a he or both find a partner to keep you busy. Leave NEZ alone. He is reponsible and sensible. You can even see his civilization through his words. Most PF thugs and criminals on this site are very uncilizied human. UPND or not, that police action was not right. The charges are worngly applied. Everything about this shows that Lungu did this for vengence and hatred. Nothing to do with the law
INSULTS, UTIMATUMS, THREATS…ALL THE WHILE THE DARK CLOUDS GATHER OVER HH AND THE UPND….AS VOTERS WATCH AND OBSERVE THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS PARTY…I REALLY DON’T SEE THIS PARTY GETTING INTO POWER IN ITS CURRENT FORM!!!
Only insecure people with small manhood see the need to use upper case for attention
JUST WHEN I CLASSIFIED YOU IN THE ABOVE COMMENT, YOU GO AHEAD AND CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS AND HAVE A SMALL BRAIN THAT HEATS UP AND RESORTS TO INSULTS…INSULT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT THE ONLY MANHOOD GETTING SQUEEZED TODAY IS HUNGRY HYENA’S…KWEKWEKWEKWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Lungu’s biggest political blunder. This is what happens when u take advice from kaizer zulu.
It reminds me of when FTJ took KK to mukubeko only for the plot to backfire. Mandela turned his back on zambia. Even today zambians are treated with scorn at beitbridge, given only 3 days stay even though we helped them during liberation & ANC HQ was in lusaka
Right now chakolwa can’t visit western, N/Western or southern. For the rest of the year, he’ll be visiting kolwe & koswe provinces. He’ll be stoned if he tries to go to l/stone, unless he unleashes his brutal PF cadres in police uniforms.
It seems this law applies only to the opposition and the ordinary. The VIPs and the ruling party don’t break the law. I could have loved the President to comment on the death of the ZAF officer, the Woman Police Officer who was abused by Keizer Zulu, the likes of Max who have abused people left, right and centre, Mumbi Phiri and let the Law takes its course. Does the law state that the President should threaten the church, clergy, International organisation, embassies etc. Currently, Zambia has no freedom of assembly, no freedom of speech, no freedom of information, Labour Laws are being Violated without govt intervention – a few weeks ago the Labour Minister said the Union was weak – how could that be when she is the labour minister and she came from that Union? What has happened to…

They came for ZAF officer Mark Choonga, we stood and did nothing
All in a period of less than 12 months. By 2021, I wonder how long the list will be.
My fellow countrymen Prepare for lungu’s State of Emergency, curfews, PF Vigilantes, i.e. weakling’s dictatorship.
You imbecile, behave or you will be next.
Hakaluza Halimwi has been insulting the president with impunity, as if there is no law to protect the president from insults.
We all know what HH said as we approached 11th August, 2016: “I will not accept the election results if I don’t win.”
HH has not accepted the election results and thus his stupid behaviour, if you also want to behave in a silly manner like the devil HH, the law will visit you. at least HH has got a bunker where to hide, as for you you will easily be sorted out
As international community is ‘concerned’ already, it is wise as a leader of the country (not a party) to at least make some statement based on the common sense like ‘concerned with the damaging someone’s property upon investigation’ or ‘treat any suspect with dignity’.
Akatanshi takalisha akalelekesha kalalisha. Idioms words of the wisdom. Those who have ears should hear. Do not harden your hearts baba.
The police broke the law and must be prosecuted! The police are corrupt and must be prosecuted. No one is above the law including dirty corrupt police! Police can be held accountable if they do not comply with the their professional standards. The police who went to HH ‘s house have brought the the police profession into disrepute. They must answer for thier crimes in a court of law!
Iwe! Who’s asking you intervene? Just enjoy yourself, God is watching.
“I came here for chiefly to say thank you because I come from a well mannered society”.
“I came here to fulfill our campaign promises and to learn more about what you want us to do, President Lungu telling residents of Mpulungu now.”
” Zambians are trusting the PF more and more because they know they have decent government in place”.
Zambians are a docile people …here is this man who sits in State House in Lusaka doing absolutely nothing and clarifying nothing …only travels the country to campaign like above; if elections are over what are you doing there? If you want to know what the people want why don’t you ask the area MP? What of the areas where you were not voted for? YOU call this working visit yet you have the whole of PF with you and are having Public Rallies everyday…
…if opposition tried to hold a rally in Mongu you would deny them.
This LAZY BUM is taking us NOWHERE and can not unify the country as a Head of State…its a shame there are no senior members to advise this work-shy cockroac.h.
ZAMBIANS WAKE UP FROM YOUR DOCILITY, GET THESE LAZY FOOOLS TO WORK!!

HH applied for a rally to thank voters in Kanyama & kitwe, we saw what happened.
Chagwa is a WOLF IN SHEEPS SKIN
1. He says he’s christian but he’s an evil, jealous man envious of HH
2. He says he’s a democrat but he’s actually a museveni-wanna-be
3. He says he won the 2016 elections but he rigged his way to state house
4. He says he respects the constitution but he abrogates it
5. He says he respects human rights but is 1st one to use brutal PF police on citizens
The sooner someone clears this man the better for the country
I wish Miles Sampa had become PF president in 2015, our country would have moved 100 million light years forward, not this Mu7 wannabe.
Now we are being taken back to tribal conflict, police brutality, crackdown on independent media, tribal cleansing in civil service, poisoning, assassinations, improsoning opposition leaders, etc.
Instead of talking about investment, solving energy crisis, clearing PF debt, creating jobs for the youth etc. ka-chakolwa is diverting attention from his failed economics as predicted by everyone who wasn’t dancing to dununa regret.
Miles Sampa is dull……………..please lets look at other options
Really laughable Sampa the one who can not even decide which hat to wear in the morning…the Sampa who was flashing out money when he was minster. The childish Sampa who is begging to go back to PF.
The truth is we have but one republican president and that is ECL. if any one is hallucinating that their republican president is HH then there is not much we can do. We have only one state house in Zambia and guess who is there. However if HH wins next time and becomes republican president I have no problem according him the necessary respect as a republican president. But for him to gather thieves and ill mannered thugs to insult our lawful president that is going too far and he should pay for it like any other citizen who breaks the law of the land. We partly understand loosing once is bad and loosing twice is also bad and loosing five times is very very bad but it does not give you a licence to lawlessness.
Lungu please and listen good, take a step back and reflect. You moving to fast and in the process messing. Arresting HH and stamping on those with opposing views is going to hurt you big time. You do not gain political mileage by using state machinery to your advantage. Wise up do something right for a change. Having said that. What have you achieved as President so far that is worthy, zero, nothing?!
Lungu, the equation is simple. You demonstrate to the of Zambia that you stand by the constitution of the land and follow the laws the Majority Zambians will respect you. Right now as it stands you are a joke masquerading as President. Those supporting you are not doing this in the interest of the country. And as a qualified lawyer, one would assume that you know the law very well. Funny thing being, this assumption defies the object because it appears you only read to pass exams with massive failure in interpretation of the law. It may work for you today and make you the man with a big stick. Remember, the person that said the law is an ass was spot on. You will cry one day and those eating with you now will be key witnesses. Happy Easter!
Shocking behaviour from Lungu. His has embrassment the office of president. Shocking behaviour from a man who was a lawyer. Lungu has embrassment lawyers. The police did not follow the law. They must face prosecution! Lungu gave the order to harass HH. He should stop hiding under his wife’s petticoat and admit the truth! It seems like anyone expresses their dislike for the president within must be a president. I would respectfully decline to shake Lungu’s hand if I met him? Does this mean I must be arrested? Zambian’s know your rights.

Lungu lungulila you are trouble yourself because you contradict yourself. You are a lawbreaker but only notices others. It is sad.
Katongo spell check and grammar! I agree with the point you are trying to make bane. Lungu is an embrassment to the office of the president and lawyers! The police breached their professional code of practice and must be held accountable. The order to harass HH was given by Lungu. HE sent police to do his dirty work. I would not shake the president’s hand if I met him. Should I expect hundreds of police to raid my home at 2am?
I hate Lungu! I despise Lungu. He is competent! Arrest me too!
….talking or commenting on the issue is interfering enough….
PF must call for a vote of no confidence in Edgar Lungu! He has become a liability to the party! They must select a new leader. Lungu was the wrong choice. Wina would have been a better choice for leader. Lungu is a wolf in sheeps clothing! He is a dictator!
The president is right.
Why should people encourage someone to break the law, and after he breaks the law they say pardon him, reconcile with him.
If those calling on the president to intervene in the treason case are serious and mean well for citizens and not just HH, they should ask the president to intervene (if at all he had the power) in all cases before the police and the courts.
They should also ask Lungu to empty the prisons because every life is important. The life of the guy who stole an egg from the compound is just as important as the life of HH.
And if there are any donors who may be said to be demanding the release of HH or withhold funding, should clearly state whether they want to use their money to fund anarchy, criminality and lawlessness.
Be straight with him and advise him correctly. He is abusing state institutions by refusing to obey the laws himself. Look at the crowd he was addressing in Mbala? Children? Let him address the press and answer to serious questions. We are not children that we cannot see. If you choose not to see the manh wrongs this man has committed then there is something very wrong with you, all the time the Police have summoned HH he goes. So did he need 500 people to go and drag him out of his house? Why make something out of nothing as if you are acting and you want your viewers to see how powerful you are!! I feel ashamed to have such leaders. How many times are people going to continue this kind of childish displays coming from the very person who refused to step aside so that the…
The president is wrong.
Lungu is a dictator.
He has the power to intervene. He sent thugs to harass HH. These were not the actions of honest hard working police.
HH must be released immediately.
Donors can see Zambia is lead by a corrupt dictator.
The only person who will cause anarchy, destruction and a civil war is Lungu.
Almost half the country did not vote for Lungu. What will happen to the country if they decide they want war. Lungu is behaving like a child playing with fire. This is how civil wars began!
Zambians do not kill our own. A line must draw. Lungu has gone too far!
Treason!
Outrageous!
If a careless act has potential to cause harm your are answerable for charges.
Anyone refusing to give way to presidential motorcade is willfully choosing to put the life of the president in danger.
It is that act, of willfully choosing to put the life of the president in danger, and threatening national security, that amounts to treason.
There is no doubt that HH willfully chose to refuse. Can HH or you say that HH’s refusal to abide was not willful but it was accidentally done – I mean that he accidentally refused?
Several impartial witnesses will attest that HH did not:
1.Act in a careless manner with potential to cause harm.
2. Refuse to give way to the presidential motorcade.
3. Commit treason
4. Put the president’s life in danger.
Disagreeing with the president does not constitute treason. Neither does refusing to listen to president’s speech.
This chap makes me feel like throwing up. A president with so much hate for the opposition is no president. We warned you right from the start that vissionles accidental presidents are dangerous but you said he is the the chosen one. Now watch as the chakolwa tries hard to legitimize his illegitimate presidency by going after the opposition like he went after all independent media.
Yes correct, let the rule of law take it’s cost
Zambia can never be fooled by one person and we are governed by the laws
I did not listen to the president’s speech. I walked out too! Why have I not been arrested? If I received a phone call from the president I would hang up. Should I be arrested?
You are asking, “But is it treason to disobey the Highway Code?”
Well, answer is simple:
No, disobeying highway code is not a crime.
But it is crime to threaten someone’s life using a vehicle.
You can use a vehicle to commit a crime as you drive.
If you use a care to kill a person by driving into them it is a crime.
This why those guys who drive into buildings of crowds of people in Europe are not charge with failure to obey highway code.
Instead they are charged with tourism, and are tried as such.
You can also be charged with the crime of causing death if your park your in such a way as to abstract motorists.
And if it is observed that you intentionally chose to park your car or place any object that is intended or can be perceived to be intended to cause harm to the presidential motorcade you will be charged with case of treason.
The case of treason will not be different from someone who wanted to use any other weapon because it is not the type of weapon used that determines treason charge but the intent.
Take for instance, you were merely hagging and greeting your friend on the highway.
If the the presidential motorcade was coming and sweepers order you to clear off the road and you willfully chose to refuse and continue hagging and greeting, in the name of “I met my friend long time ago, so we can just stop hagging so suddenly”, you will endanger the life of the president.
And in this case, just like HH you will have chosen to willfully endanger the life of the president and national security.
If they don’t clear you as mandated (as the normal case should), they will pick you up and charge you with treason.
You cannot then say, “ah, these people, what is their problem? They are dictators, when did hagging become treason, and merely refusing to move out of the road treasonable?”
If you manage to say the above, then you have an outstanding skill of “performing art”.
Cont’d…..the petition could be heard as the constitution demands? You tell him to allow for a recount of the votes. He has nothing to fear since he says he won. To me he strikes me like someone who is not sure that he won the last election. What Sir you are doing is to allow the PF to continue disrespecting our laws. Let us learn to tell the truth all of us including Mr.ECL. We say this is a country that practices Christianity but the happenings are very unchristian. We are destroying our country and we shall all suffer, the legally upright and the illegally downright. God help our leaders. Don’t be unaffair to the people. Show love to all Zambians.
It expired, and Zambia will follow its constitution not feelings of people.
The petition expired and the constitution can no longer allow it to be heard.
Despite Lungu’s lawyers pleading with HH’s lawyers to start discussing the petition, HH’s lawyer continued with their preliminaries until the 14 days allowed by the constitution were exhausted.
Thus it was HH’s desire and wush that his own petition would not be heard, and his wishes were pursued and achieved by himself, his lawyers and the UPND.
I see that the talk by the UPND about the petition not having been heard is mere pretense, as that was there wish.
You are just a tyrant Mr Presudent simple.
Lungu is hiding behind the law to harm HH. We can see through all his schemes. Even a kid can see that! What a shame! It is very insensitive for Lungu to call HH a law breaker, when HH did not break any law. It is only Lungu, PF and Kanganja who see HH as a law breaker. There are millions of us who totally disagree with what Lungu is doing! We are hoping that voices of reason can rise and stop this barbarism!
Amen
We are appealing to the Registrar of Societies to please de-register this Rebel Group called UPND. It’s not a Political Party but a Rebel Group not different from Boko Haram.
We are sick and tired of Violence in Zambia, we’ve never witnessed such Death Threats in Zambia.
These Rebels don’t mean Peace for Zambia.
@Fair Play, I’m sure you have heard of Stone Age. That is where you belong!
So you want to back to a one party state which we the people refused in 1991 when we ushered in multi party democracy, what a stupid preposition
You shall know evil leaders by their actions. If indeed you are a God fearing leader, show the nation the heart of Mwanawasa who at the peak of his political rivalry with Michael Sata, hestill managed to evacuate Sata to South Africa without a passport for emergiency treatment. I dont think ECL could evacuate HH in the manner Levy did to Sata.
To state that “the courts have decided” is simply a lie. Which courts have heard the election matter? It’s adjourned therefore nonsense to say courts have decided. Anyway a charge of “failing to obey motorcade” is making Zambia a laughing stock around the world… in other countries presidents they use helicopters and if they somehow just feel a need to drive, there are professional police on the ground who clear the route in advance. Now in Zambia comedy instead… Chisoni
