Zambia Police dismiss allegations of theft at HH’s house during the raid

POLICE have dismissed allegations that their officers stole an undisclosed amount of money at United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema’s residence.

The police have said they will not entertain such reports as the matter has already been investigated and found to be false and malicious.

Police public relations officer Esther Katongo said in a statement that Mr Hichilema’s wife, Mutinta, yesterday went to Woodlands Police Station in the company of the media to lodge a complaint against some police officers, alleging that they stole undisclosed amounts of money and property when apprehending Mr Hichilema.

“Police officers told Mrs Hichilema to wait as they were attending to another member of the public, but she opted to leave and did not go back,” she said.

Ms Katongo said Mrs Hichilema has decided to report the alleged theft 18 days after the day it is purported to have occurred, which is clearly an afterthought intended to damage the image and reputation of the Zambia Police Service.

“We would like to bring to the attention of the public that when this allegation started trending in some quarters of the media, police had made their own inquiries and it was established that the allegation lacked substance and was false, on inquiry,” she said.

  1. Treason is a serious charge anywhere in the world … maturity is required on the part of HH and his team

    • I believe our zambia police who often show professionalism and good judgement.

      This was a blatant lie so it seems.

    • I get the feeling people are taking their eyes off the ball

      The main question here is – when (not if ) the Treason charges are proved correct.

      Then what ?

      Thanks

    • An afterthought of a treasonist wife indeed.

      Mutinta was initially thought of as a down to earth mother but she has also drunk from the same poisoned upnd chalice and become a cheap political upstart with no shred of sagacity.

    • Don’t trust the same burglars who committed the crime to investigate themselves. The PFolice have no image to protect. They are thugs, they are muggers, they are molesters, they are vandals, they are murderers. Just stay away from PFolice and never cooperate with their fake enquiries. They are rabid dogs.

    • The money or property missing from HH family is not worthy how much are those fake lawyers scavenging on Mutita. When she stops feeding the media, they will turn against her, accusing her of sleeping with me.
      Mutinta, go on vacation to HH village.

    • Police are NOT above the law. But under lungu’s (the dullest lawyer), they have become tools of oppression.

      – The video of the battering of a UPND cadre by 4 paramilitary PF cadres went viral. No one has been apprehended
      – Samuel Chavula was arrested at ECZ but released without any explanation
      – Mapenzi Chibulo was shot in broad daylight, but no inquiry/investigation was ever made
      – The video that went viral of the pepper-spray assault, of UPND cadres at Luanshya magistrate court, including a woman who had just fallen off a moving van left shivers in the mind of zambians
      – Kaizer zulu assaulted a female police officer but up to now they are still investigating
      – ZAF officer Choonga was killed in custody for a fender-bender accident but the charge was given to fellow inmates
      -…

    • CONT’D

      – The theft of forex, food, carpets, by ZP is a disgrace to the nation
      – The torture of HH & his cookie & house-boy, urinating & sh!tting on HH’s bed has sunk ZP’s calibre to an all time low
      Jemason is the dullest lawyer I’ve ever seen. As a lawyer, you would expect him to halt abuse of human rights by police brutality. Remember the photo of ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo in his bedroom captured by the same soldiers he used to oppress his people? Take a leaf. Today it’s me, tomorrow it’s you.

    • BR Mumba, has old as you are you see nothing wrong with the treason charge slapped on HH. You really want him to be found guilty and executed for this? Stop being a cadre old man and use your head.

    • when this charge was slapped to this guy called HH,he thought its going to be like those cases he has been charged before.never the less,this case is not a joke the guy will be like mwaliteta soon.wait pa 4th may thats when he will see the meaning of treason.in june his case will go ku high court and there after his first appearance will be in august .see u in 2021 HH

    • WHAT DOES IT MEAN, “…UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF MONEY…?” DOES IT MEAN THEY DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WERE KEEPING IN THE HOUSE (AND NOT IN THE COMMERCIAL BANK? SO, IN ZAMBIA ONE COULD REPORT THAT HE/SHE WAS ROBBED OF MONEY AND WHEN ASKED, ONE CA JUST ANSWER THAT: ‘SENZE ZAMBILI’?

    • Mumbai. Just a simple major of RB and Lungu has clear all the limited gray matter in your head. Tribal thinking has overwhelmed your think capacity. Just enjoy your tribal alliance which not built on principle or ideology.

    • AS for the police how did you investigate without a complaint? Find other people to lie to especially Pf cadres.

    • Mudonsa made up the stealing story for attention. She is HH’s wife. Don’t expect integrity from her. You will be disappointed.

    • @Peter, have you read the treason charges? It reads 60 unknown people were with HH when he committed the offense. Unknown people? Kaya benze bambili??

    • In fact the British HC was diplomatic. He could easily have said HH was very wrong in his actions, but he did not want to appear to be hard in the opposition.

      Hr makes his message clear by emphasizing the need to recognise and respect the head of state as a tenet of democracy.

      He further emphasised the need to follow the law and protocols even when one has grievances.

      He also deliberately emphasised that the results of the elections reflected what was announced ant thus, Britain recognises his Excellency President Edgar Lungu as having been duly elected.

      He further deliberately stresses that Britain is committed to work ing with the duly elected of president Lungu until 2021.

    • The HC makes as basis for recognition of the the president, his Excellency ECL.

      The HC did not say he recognised ECL as president because he is in power, NO!

      Rather, he gives background as basis for recognition; he says UK, EU and the international community accepted the outcome of the August elections, and thus recognise ECL as Head of State.

      He deliberately says ECZ did their best even in the midst of difficulties and the election went well. But says “unfortunately” there was tabulance.

      In other words, he is saying the tabulance were baseless. I therefore conclude that it implies there was no basis for even the petition.

    • Zambia police is the last place to go when you are robbed, They lock you up as the primary suspect and extort money from you to release you. I have seen this so many times

    • You report within 24hours. Dont listern to nez. Just talk ecl nicely hh will be released.

      Dont use arm twisting tactics

  2. SISTER MUTINTA, OUR MOTHER, I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT YOU CAN NOT TAKE YOUR CASE TO ARMED ROBBERS AND GET AID FROM THEM, FOR SURE THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONE AND WILL DENNY ALL THE STEALING THEY HAVE ROBBED YOU. WHEN PEOPLE SAY PF IS A SWAM OF THUGS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE.
    REST YOUR CASE IN GOD’S HANDS, SOMEONE WILL DIE WHEN GOD BECOMES ANNOYED WITH HIS LEADERSHIP. KING HEROD ALLOWED HIS SOLDIERS TO GO MIDNIGHT ARRESTED JESUS AND HANGED HIM. WHAT WAS HE FATE? HE WAS EATEN UP BY WORMS. GOD’S TIME IS THE BEST.

    • Semeki don’t be foolish stop putting the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ in this nonsense. HH is a liar and so is his wife. Why can’t they just respect the head of state like it is written in the bible about respecting leadership.

    • @Bemba Man – maybe your small god of thieves hears you. You charlatans, monkeys and muggers use the Lord’s name in vain to molest the innocent. Why don’t you urge your mafia in State House to follow the laws of Zambia instead of abusing nationals?

    • So HH and his wife are liars ????

      I am following the news and looking at all reports. To now I cannot find any statements that can prove they have lied.

      What about Lungu and his PF?

      Just checking a few news stories I see many, MOST, PF statements have turned out to be LIES! 500,000 jobs – a LIE! End of load shedding 2016? – another LIE! How long is the list ????

      So it is clear that the truth is between Lungus PF and HH anyone can see who is the LIAR and who is HONEST!

    • David…

      Lungu in SA
      President Lungu’s economic diplomacy has continued yielding results. He is currently in Saudi Arabia where he is signing big deals that include:
      1. Oil deals which will see the cost of fuel go down to as low as K5. 5. per litre. Negotiations have been going on and finally the deal will be signed.

      2. Funding of 10 more irrigation dams. Zambia is fast becoming the food busket for central and southern africa. President Lungu wants to expand investment in irrigation.

      3. Funding of phase two 600MW solar plant. The 600 MW phase one is being funded by World bank through IDC. Hon Dora…

      4. The president has also opened mulugushi textiles….

    • 2.4 I like the way you put it ” – “President” Lungu’s economic diplomacy….”

      instead of just calling it what it really is – being a world tourist at the poor Zambian Taxpayers expense!

    • @ 2.3 David,

      HH said Maureen Mwanawasa found his votes in a bin.

      Did he tell the truth or he lied?

      HH has often accused and impounded ECZ trucks of carrying premarked ballot papers during elections, and when they check they find nothing.

      Do they tell the truth or they lie?

      It is unthinkable to think of UPND as being free or lies.

  3. Gun totting masked bullies masquerading as policemen forced their way into a citizen’s house without warrant. If they did not commit an act of simple theft, they certainly did amalicious acts of damage with colossal amounts. Not to mention traumas the family and friends were subjected to during the entire 13 hourd they were subjected to disproportionate violations of the sort we have hitherto only seen on the big screen as brought to us by Hollywood. It remains to be seen how the law will be applied should the victims pursue damages.

    • How do you respect someone who has no self-respect and respect for others? Us DEMOCRATS are troubled by the death of democracy in Zambia! Does it mean that if people don’t vote for you then they don’t respect you? Does it mean you should resort to intimidation to earn respect? Believe me, Many have lost the little respect they had for Chagwa! Let his followers worship him! Democracy is not about respect but PEOPLE – Government OF the PEOPLE (not Chagwa), FOR the PEOPLE and BY the PEOPLE! What PF is doing is NOT Democracy but DICTATORSHIP!

  4. Semeki stop lying to the HH family. Just tell them the truth about respect of leadership and all things will be well with them. They are not fighting for Zambians but for themselves. This is why ,we well meaning Zambians won’t stand and fight for them because it’s a personal battle.

    • Bemba man that is the problem with you people you are all blind! This is the prooblem with Zambia – we are to lazy to stand up for the truth and for what is right. We are all brainless and believe everything we are told. The lies abut HH started with Sata and they have just gotten worse. HH wants the best for the country – arent you tired of all the corruption ? What happened to the millions we got from the IMF that has now plunged Zambia into debt but yet we have very little to show for it. The roads that were built were poorly built becasue contracters did not receive the money they were owed to complete, the list goes on. We just simply sit back and accept and if anyone dares to question the are thrown in prison. Zambia as we knew it before 2011 will never be the same….we have…

    • I NOW KNOW THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH TRIBALISM. IF YOU ARE A PURE ZAMBIAN AND CHRIST IS YOUR SAVIOR, FALSEHOOD CAN NOT COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. DID YOU LISTEN TO PRIME TV? READ OTHER MEDIA AND IF YOU STICK TO YOUR ZNBC AND KATONGOS ALIKE, THEN YOUR MOUTH WILL BE POURING OUT LIES.

    • We know in some cultures prostrating on the ground before a fellow human being is what is considered as respect, culturally to people like me do believe in that, that’s he given enough room on the road to overtake, HH showed enough courtesy to the other road user.

  5. Gun totting masked bullies masquerading as policemen forced their way into a citizen’s house without a warrant. If they did not commit an act of aggrieviated burglary, they certainly did malicious acts of damage worth colossal amounts. Not to mention traumas the family and friends were subjected to during the entire 13 hours they were victims of disproportionate violations of the sort we have hitherto only seen on the big screen as brought to us by Hollywood. It remains to be seen how the law will be applied should the victims pursue damages. Of course she left the premises because the police, instead of attending to her, tried to make her feel their weight in a manner a hyena would a cow which goes to complain to it after it has devoured one of its calfs.

  6. An after thought indeed, and this can only come from Mutinta.
    The Husband has been caged for 18 days and everywhere she has gone she has been wearing the same dress. Can someone go to the Police Station and report that all her clothes were stolen, for her it will take another month. Let someone also report about the missing relish.

    • You satanists relish the suffering of others. It’s jealous and envy that makes you happy that somebody’s house has been trashed. You will get yours, very soon.

  7. LADY KATONGO,
    “Police officers told Mrs Hichilema to wait as they were attending to another member of the public, but she opted to leave and did not go back,” she said.

    THIS IS VERY SHAMEFUL INDEED TO HERE FROM A POLICEWOMAN LIKE THIS WHEN THE LAWYER FOR MRS MUTINTA HICHILEMA SPOKE IN THE MIDST OF MANY PEOPLE AT WOODLANDS POLICE STATION THAT THE OFFICER IN CHARGE WILL WAIT A RESPONSE FROM THE HIGH AUTHORITY BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONES INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER AND THE OFFICER IN-CHARGE WAS SIMPLY TELLING THE NATION WAS THAT IT IS THE IG AND LUNGU WHO WERE THE MASTER PLANNER FOR THE ROBBERY SIMPLE. HOW COME YOU CAN CHANGE THE STATEMENT? WE HEARD FROM PRIME TV NEWS. AND NOT WHAT YOU ARE BARKING ON DOG.

  8. How do you respect someone who has no self-respect and respect for others? Us DEMOCRATS are troubled by the death of democracy in Zambia! Does it mean that if people don’t vote for you then they don’t respect you? Does it mean you should resort to intimidation to earn respect?

Democracy is not about respect but PEOPLE – Government OF the PEOPLE (not Chagwa), FOR the PEOPLE and BY the PEOPLE! What PF is doing is NOT Democracy but DICTATORSHIP!!!

  9. SISTER MUTINTA, OUR MOTHER, I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT YOU CAN NOT TAKE YOUR CASE TO ARMED ROBBERS AND GET AID FROM THEM, FOR SURE THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONE AND WILL DENNY ALL THE STEALING THEY HAVE ROBBED YOU. WHEN PEOPLE SAY PF IS A SWAM OF THUGS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE.
    REST YOUR CASE IN GOD’S HANDS, SOMEONE WILL DIE WHEN GOD BECOMES ANNOYED WITH HIS LEADERSHIP. KING HEROD ALLOWED HIS SOLDIERS TO GO MIDNIGHT ARRESTED JESUS AND HANGED HIM. WHAT WAS HE FATE? HE WAS EATEN UP BY WORMS. GOD’S TIME IS THE BEST.
    WE ALL HEARD FOR OURSELVES WHAT MRS HICHILEMA’S LAWYER SAID AT WOODLANDS POLICE STATION TELLING THE JOURNALISTS, HOW COME KATONGO CHEATING THE NATION?

  10. Accusing law enforcement officers of stealing during operation is another case which should be added on top of treason and others.

    If police officers ask you to open the door u must open, failure to do that, invite trouble and brutality. Zambian police are the most understanding in the world.

    It seems to me as if Mutinta the wife of HH together with the workers and children made those deliberate breaking in their cheapish material called house in order to undermine the expertise of our men and women in uniform. And that makes me vomit!

    Mutinta should grow up and learn to control her husband. In fact HH behavior is a direct answer to who Mutinta really is.

    A woman’s character is seen in the husband’s behavior. Show me your wife and I will tell you who u are!

    Thanks

  11. The EMPLOYEE (Chagwa and PF) must show respect to the EMPLOYER (All The PEOPLE regardless of political affiliation) if it is RESPECT they are looking for or risk getting FIRED! In a true democracy, we don’t have a master-slave relationship! There is no treason here except Aggravated Robery and abuse of authority of office! The whole thing is silly partisan politics! Why did the VIP protection unit give the go ahead to the opposition motorcade? Why did they not ask them to await the passage of the republican motorcade (again that is not Chagwa’s motorcade). All democrats should stop this personalization of state power we are seeing in Chagwa! It is dangerous! This uniformed cadre brutality must stop!

  12. SISTER MUTINTA, OUR MOTHER, I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT YOU CAN NOT TAKE YOUR CASE TO ARMED ROBBERS AND GET AID FROM THEM, FOR SURE THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONE AND WILL DENNY ALL THE STEALING THEY HAVE ROBBED YOU. WHEN PEOPLE SAY PF IS A SWAM OF THUGS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE.

    WE ALL HEARD FOR OURSELVES WHAT MRS HICHILEMA’S LAWYER SAID AT WOODLANDS POLICE

    I AM PUZZLED BY ALL ZAMBIAN TRADITIONAL CHIEFS WHO ARE NOT COMING UP TO ADVISE LUNGU FOR THE MESSES…

  13. I believe her, just bring the thieves to justice. Zambian Police officer are paid so little to afford a decent life. As long as you support PF you can face the law if you commit a crime.

  14. Do these Zambian policemen always seek bribes? Yes ,so definitely the likelihood they’d steal is also very high.Integrity is never a one-time event.

  15. How can a Mid Nite Raider without a Search Warrant defend himself or herself? Esther Katongo should just shut up on this Raid becoz she is defending the indefensible. 500 Policemen and 50 soldiers invading HH’s home at Mid Nite,Switching off lights to steal in darkness, teargassing the occupants,stealing money,food etc. Was Ester Katongo at HH’s home at Mid Nite to account for what happened that Nite? Nosense!!

  16. HIS LAWYERS HAVE REALIZED THAT THE ALLEGATION OF STEALING MONEY WILL NOT STAND IN ANY COURT OF LAW AFTER ALMOST THREE WEEKS.

  17. This is the work of thugs and not Professionals! Those who wish to be respected must first of all show respect to fellow dignitaries. All opposition party leaders are equally VIPs who should be accorded the due respect! Political power is for short time! Better to get busy and work towards leaving a good legacy than spending your entire term of office fighting for recognition! Yes you were fraudulently declared winner of the August elections but the fact that your election was petitioned, the final declaration was not made by the Constitutional Court at the end of the 14 days. That is the reason the Chief Justice declined to officiate! That explains why Pigeons refused to fly! If Pigeons refused to recognize you, who are we?

    • Kikikiki … Lol! Even Pigeons refused to recognize Chagwa. I remember the elders saying “Bad Omen”. They were right!

    • Well said the real quest…

      Even the presidential pigeons refused to be part of his fraud….hehehehe

  18. I went straight to the house when our security detail briefed me. Upon arrival I was shocked to find the pf police thugs even eating food that was in the house. Some were touring the house and admiring it. Money and other personal effects went missing. It is very sad that the so called police who we are meant to trust are actually pf sponsored thugs. I wish nothing but death on these thugs and lungu

    • …yaba…security detail…kwekwekwekwe…you remind me of that mad fellow i see every morning on Lumumba Road…he is always chasing trucks and pretending to be using a walkie talkie…but that’s it, he is mad!!!!…kwekwekwekwekwe…muli mashilu na imwe kanshi???…you pretend hh’s house is the house of the president…kwekwekwekwe…..

  19. you can only pliz a witch by allowing him or her to bewitch your children. police cadres are thugs and can only be pleased just the same way they did to steal your money. they were pf militias who raided HH’s residence. to them it was am opportunity to make money. Esther is using defence mechanisms to cleanse the rotten cadre militia dressed on police uniforms. allow Mutinta to lodge her complaint. do not have pre- determined answers.

  20. This is the same Police which was defending a visibly drunk Police Officer who was threatening to shoot Garry Nkombo at a filling station! What a country! All institutions are now broken down! We hope LAZ will start the process of putting an end to the rot going on in this country. We need a turnaround. The country has gone off the rails!

  21. When have you ever heard the disgraced and compromised PF Zambia police ever admit to a wrong doing? They do not have any ounce of credibility left in them

  22. By the way what happened to the case where UPND were charged with being found with a folder on how to overthrow the PF government ????

    Or the other high profile case where police found a GBM gym to be training youths in the use of catapults and golf clubs to take on the Zambia defense forces ????

    Or the other high profile case where it was alleged UPND commandos kidnapped GRZ and other journalists in bweengwa ???

    Any updates pleas on those cases ??

    • These cases just go to show you how desperate the PF police are to Frame UPND.

      There arrest warrants have been rubbished by the British high commissioner by disclosing he is having tea with membe who we were told is public enemy number one and an arrest warrant was issued ??

      Now they are afraid to touch membe , showing these arrests to be political….

  23. Zambia Police for the very first time in the history of this nation have been reduced to political tools by this pf regime to settle political scores against their perceived political enemies. This has resulted into increased political tension and deep regional and tribal divisions in this country. If ECL means well for this nation, he should atleast sober up and put his love and total devotion to Zambia above his peronal interests but that would be asking too much from him considering his attitude towards opposing views………………..

  24. HH and UPND are attention seekers.their main aim is to tarnish the image of others using lies but God always exposes their lies.

    Its a pity that even Mutinta Hichilema has joined the arrogance of her husband.ZP cannot steal anything from HH’s chalala house-its a pure lie.

    Hey so its already 18 days since HH was arrested?days can fly!!!upnd should start planning life without HH because his treason charge is here to stay.once it goes to High Court,HH will remain in jail for more than 2 or 3 years!!

    The British High Commissioner has told all upnd dreamers that what HH did in mongu was VERY PROVOCATIVE.he used diplomancy here.in short what he said is “HH MADE A BIG MISTAKE IN MONGU!!”The court will use the video evidence to convict HH.only Criminals do VERY PROVOCATIVE things…

    • Njimbu.

      By disclosing that he had tea with a one fred membe who the PF issued an arrest warrant for, the HC is rubbishing your arrest warrants.

      He has highlighted the name HH to the world. And now PF can not touch membe. That must be a bitter pill for lungu and PF who tried to make membe public enemy yet he came strolling through the air port while lungu was put on notice for his violence…

    • ZP can break the Law they are supposed to uphold EVERY DAY by taking a K50 bribe for a traffic offense, and they do!

      So when ZP (or maybe not, why were they wearing masks?) break into a Citizens house in the middle of the night, can we believe they will not steal 1000s of money?

      Zambians know and have seen with their OWN EYES that these poor beggars (thieves) will do anything for money, including BREAK THE LAW and follow Lungus illegal orders.

      What hope for Zambians now?

  25. @Spaka like lilo:PLEASE ASK YOUR TERROR GROUP(UPND) THOSE QUESTION!!!always upnd and HH are on the other side of the law.therefore,he must dance to his mongu tune now because his arrogance too him very far in mongu.ITS ALREADY 18 DAYS MUNDENDE FOR HH!!!HOPE WILL TONE DONE NOW!!

    • HH is going through a comandets experience….now the name HH is known world wide…..that is the price he must pay with his freedom for zambians democracy…

      By the way the HC said he had tea with membe ? I thought the PF police had issued an arrest warrant for him yet we hear he is being entertained by diplomats ?

    • Njimbu, open your.eyes if you can.

      When ever the Law has to be followed, HH has done so.

      Can we say the same for Lungu?

      How many times has Lungu broken the oath he swore to uphold the Constitution?

      He can trully be called a THIEF having been CONVICTED of stealing his clients money.

      So who can be PROVED to be on the wrong side of the Law?

    • Spaka like lilo – The High Commissioner having tea with Mmembe seems to be a very big issue with you, right? Let me tell you – all the High Commissioner was telling you is that he has sits down and listens to all people across the spectrum. Nothing special about the tea with Mmembe – but you can’t get it. I would not be surprised that he is one of the diplomats who were invited and went to HH’s house before elections. But that should not influence his impartiality.

  26. Njimbu, you don’t know what you are talking about. If you are smart answer the questions Spaka Like lilo has posed. I see you more arrogant. Don’t Zambia police take bribes?

  27. The police cannot investigate itself, there should be an independent police complaints commission which should handle complaints against the police. The question of time taken to report the theft is not an issue. In a civilized society, historical crimes are still being investigated and prosecuted. An elderly man in his 80’s has been jailed for sexual crimes committed more 40 years ago in UK. This was entirely based on the testimony of the victim. Zambia is lawless! The current situation makes the wild west of Jesse James look like a Sunday picnic.

  28. Njimbu

    Where are you ? Don’t be like Mr terrible who takes cover when asked questions….

    What is you take on the fact that the cases @25 above just go to show you how desperate the PF police are to Frame UPND.

    Their arrest warrants have been rubbished by the British high commissioner by disclosing he is having tea with membe who we were told is public enemy number one and an arrest warrant was issued ??

    Now they are afraid to touch membe , showing these arrests to be political….

  29. Police spokes person, how do you say the Police will not entertain this matter & still say you were willing to attend to her, she just left on her own? lets be serious with the manner we treat each other, when you hold public officer, remember you are there to serve the people and not to use your office to oppress them. when all is said & done, people will remember you for the good works & not the evil you did to them.

  30. @Spaka like lilo:you really embarrass yourself.Fred M’membe returned home about 2 weeks ago via KK airport.Govnt is very aware that M’membe is in Zambia.ZP clearly stated that they never issued an arrest warrant.so what are talking about?SO IF THE BRITISH HC MEETS M’MEMBE,THEN WHAT?WILL THIS FREE HH?NEVER!!

    By the way,are you aware that Fred M’membe’s Trucks and many former Post Newspaper assets were AUCTIONED last week?there is nothing M’membe can smile about because almost everything he worked for since 1991 is lost because of HIS SILLY MISTAKE OF AVOIDING TO PAY TAX!!!

    Your HH’s stay in jail is not making him popular in anyway.he is 100% losing a lot.even if he becomes popular abroad,those few foreigners wont vote for him.its ud Zambian who vote.SO STOP CHEATING…

    • Njimbu, njimbu.

      Police denied that an international arrest warrant was issued by that they ZP were looking for him , now he has become untouchable because the world is watching you….

      As I said about HH this stint in jail can not be bad for his political career. Many a great leaders were jailed for their beliefs by despots only to come out on top.

      HH is showing his supporters that he is ready to sacrifice his freedom for a free and fair corruption free democratic Zambia.

      All news comming out of chimbwakila is that he is in high spirits and urges his supporters to stand steadfast.

    • @Spaka like lilo, this njimbwa is just too dull to see the truth staring him in the face!

      Lungu and his PF cronies are not only too STUPlD to understand they are destroying Zambia, but even more dull to understand they are shooting THEMSELVES in the foot by illegaly persecuting and harassing HH!

      Their greed and lust for stealing money has blinded them to the inevitable consequences of their own actions just like it was for Gaddafi.

      Lungu and co.have trashed their honesty and morals (and Zambia) for the prverbial 30 pieces of silver. The final result is inevitable.

    • moderation

      Their greed and lust for stealing money has blinded them to the inevitable consequences of their own actions just like it was for Gaddafi.

      Lungu and co. have trashed their honesty and morals (and Zambia) for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver. The final result is inevitable

    • Spaka like lilo – Do not confuse freedom fighters with a mere anarchist. That is very insulting to freedom fighters.

  31. IF YOU DO’NT KNOW WHAT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU WILL WASTE TIME DISCUSSING ANYTHING. WE NEED TO SEPARATE MAJORS FROM MINORS. TO ME THERE ARE THREE ISSUES HERE. 1) DID HH COMMITT A TREASONABLE OFFENCE? 2) DID HH DELIBERATELY COMMITTED A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENCE? 3)DID THE POLICE STEAL LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY FROM HHs HOME?
    1. THE TREASON CHARGE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT IT IS A SIMPLE MATTER HOPING THAT WHEN SOME ISOLATED MEMBERS OF THE FOREIGN COMMUNITY TALK, THEN THEY WILL FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE HH. THE FOREIGNERS MAY TALK BUT THEY WILL NOT COME AND FORCE THE GRZ TO FREE HH. HH/UPND NEED TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS HONESTLY
    A) DID HH HEAR THE SIRENS AS THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE WAS PASSING IN MONGU?
    B) DID HH SEE THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE IN…

  32. Njimbu
    “…Meanwhile, according to the warrant of arrest directed to Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja, Mr M’membe is said to have concealed properties of the Post Newspaper (in liquidation) contrary to the laws of Zambia.

    Mr M’membe is also said to have prevented the production of books or papers relating to the property or affairs of the Post Newspaper (in liquidation).

    “You are commanded in the name of the President forthwith to apprehend the said Fred M’membe and produce him before the court at Lusaka Magistrates Complex,” the warrant of arrest read in part….”

    Now your PF police are afraid to touch membe….all political arrests.

    • Njimbu

      Can you comment on the above warrant.. ..you told us there was no warrant….why are the PF police not picking up membe ??

    • Ahhh njimbu has scattered with his fellow kaponyas and have taken cover…..we are waiting your take on this arrest warrant bwana, because it looks like political prosecution……becasuse after having tea with the ambasodor membe seems to be free…….

  33. -continued-
    B) DID HH SEE THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE IN MONGU?
    C) DOES HH KNOW THE TRAFFIC CODE?
    D) DID HH DELIBERATELY IGNORE TRAFFIC RULES?
    E) DID HH DELIBERATELY COMMIT A TRAFFIC OFFENCE?
    F) DOES HH KNOW THAT ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEYING TRAFFIC RULES IS ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS?
    G) DOES HH KNOW THAT COMMITTING A TRAFFIC OFFENCE CAN LEAD TO DEATH IN AN RTA ESPECIALLY IN ZAMBIA?
    G) WHAT MEASURES DID HH PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT HIS BREAKING OF TRAFFIC RULES WAS NOT GOING TO END IN AN RTA AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE DEATH OF THE HEAD OF STATE?
    H) WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE THAT HH PUT IN MEASURES TO PREVENT THE DEATH OF THE HEAD OF STATE IN THE TRAFFIC OFFENCE THAT HE COMMITTED?
    I) IS ‘NT DELIBERATELY COMMITTING AN OFFENCE THAT YOU KNOW CAN RESULT IN DEATH ENOUGH PRIMA FACIE…

    • Put simply HH was not aware of Mr lungus travel arragments and no one from the police informed them of my lungus convoy.

      No police were on the roads to warn and direct traffic of the presence of Mr lungus motorcade.

      The police failed Mr lungu.

    • Spaka like lilo – Nobody is talking about your “Mr lungus”, – Chisenga is talking about HE Edgar Chagwa Lungu. You are clearly talking about two different people. Police were not aware of “Mr lungus” presence in Mongu, because they were taking care of HE ECL.

  34. I) IS ‘NT DELIBERATELY COMMITTING AN OFFENCE THAT YOU KNOW CAN RESULT IN DEATH ENOUGH PRIMA FACIE GROUND TO DISCUSS TREASON?
    HH SHOULD PROVIDE IMPECCABLE RESPONSES TO THESE QUESTIONS, OTHERWISE HIS CASE MAY DRAG ON AND ON.
    FOR THIS REASON, THE OFFENCE COMMITTED BY HH SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY AS A SIMPLE TRAFFIC OFFENCE. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS. I MAY BE WRONG. BUT GENUINE RESPONSES ARE VITAL HERE.

  35. @Spaka like lilo:

    Am not online 24/7 like you and NEZ defending your UNVOTABLE tonga fella HH!! I was off air driving to Nkoloma stadium to watch Red Arrows Vs Kabwe Warriors game.am a free Zambian.
    Govnt cannot fear Fred M’membe,not at all.thats how you guys in UPND always miss it.M’membe is finished.Zambia has become too small for him.all he worked for from 1991 is gone.SO HE AVOIDED PAYING TAX AT HIS OWN PERIL AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY CANNOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

    As for HH,its 50/50.his political career may end with this treason charge or he may pull through!!The courts will decide.besides,he is not being trained but suffering in Chimbokaila.FTJ Chiluba,Levy Mwanawasa,RB and ECL became Zambian presidents minus being jailed.i may add KK to this list.only late Sata was…

    • Njimbu
      Lungu and the PF are cowards. Issuing politically motivated arrest warrants then failing to act on them after being told off by the HC.
      Membe and the mast live on. It is lungu who is being hunted by the hosts of recognition of his fradulant presidency.

  36. The HC makes as basis for recognition of the the president, his Excellency ECL.

    The HC did not say he recognised ECL as president because he is in power, NO!

    Rather, he gives background as basis for recognition; he says UK, EU and the international community accepted the outcome of the August elections, and thus recognise ECL as Head of State.

    He deliberately says ECZ did their best even in the midst of difficulties and the election went well. But says “unfortunately” there was tabulance.

    In other words, he is saying the tabulance were baseless. I therefore conclude that it implies there was no basis for even the petition.

    • All those urginging the president to initiate dialogue must learn from the good counsel from the British HC.

      You can’t just say there are problems, therefore start dialogue. What are the problems? How have they been caused? Who has caused what?

      Once you identify the the issues and who have done what, then you can dialogue.

      In summary, concluding by what the HC has said, there was no basis for refusal to accept the August election outcome. No basis for the tabulance that followed, no basis or need for any petition.

      The petition had no basis, no wonder the lawyers just resorted to creating and discussing preliminaries so that they are seen to be doing something since they were hired.

      Remember that while all the petition comedy was taking place EU observers were around and…

    • Remember that while all the petition comedy was taking place EU observers were around and that process also helped them to consolidate their take on the results.

      And partly the conclusions alluded to by the HC regarding election outcome were drawn from the petition process.

    • Advice

      “..Sadly, one legacy of the elections is an entrenched political divide that has spawned the recent upsurge in tension..”

      That’s from the HC.

    • @ 40.3 Spaka like lilo,

      You are right the HC said that.

      But before starting that, he already identified the root cause of the problem as follows:

      1) failure to accept election results despite UK, EU, and THE RESTof the international community accepting the results

      2) Failure to respect the Head of State.

      3) Provocation as from the UPND as exhibited in Western Province.

      So I am surprised that you write like you don’t understand straight forward language.

      Or is it that youread one word and interpret it in line with your personal ideas instead of reading the entire message to get its context.

  37. Continue………….
    Only late Michael Sata was locked up for 40 days by Levy Mwanawasa for a case of motor vehicle theft.so JAIL IS NOTE A ROUTE TO STATE HOUSE,BIG NO!!

    Spaka,Zambia is as quiet as Russian snow now.only few bantustans talk about HH in their homes(note;in their homes) because they cannot talk about HH openly for fear of being laughed at by majority Zambians who do not support LAW BREAKERS SUCH AS HH AND FRED M’MEMBE!!!

    So please stop ranting online over HH.allow the law to take its course.your god HH is still very innocent and merely a suspect.The court will free or convict him-FINITO!!!

    • But lungu only won by 13,000 disputed votes. Don’t think because you are associating with thrives every one is quite like those theives.

      Don’t delude yourself about only a few bantustaces talking about HH. The people are being taxed to death by clueless lungu who even adds salt to would by opening and celebrating toll booths to tax zambians more.

      FYI among leaders Mandela, Castro, kenyyata were among leaders jailed for their beliefs.

      Membe can not be touched even if an arrest warrant was issued. Showing PF arrest warrants are political.

    • Spaka like lilo – The Constitution under which the elections were held required only one vote difference to win. The dispute is only because you are bad losers. Please do not insult freedom fighters by comparing them with a mere anarchist – I have tried to advise you earlier.

  38. Regarding this issue of Motorcade and the burglary which took place at HH’s residence. The Police failed Lungu and went ahead to steal from HH’s residence, Shame on you Mr Kanganja you should resign.

  39. @Spaka like lilo:

    Are you sure president Edgar Lungu got 13 000 more votes than HH in 2016?please stop smoking dagga!!Your Kainde was beaten with more than 100 000 votes by ECL!!this is a huge difference!!

    Never compare tribal HH to the likes of Nelson Mandela,Castro or Kenyata.those were seasoned politicians.only you bantustans consider HH to be a political giant.the fella (HH) is a nobody in 6.5 provinces!!!ECZ declared President Edgar Lungu as 2016 winner past 13hrs and Zambia became to standstill.people celebrated very crazy and some naked because this is what they wanted.you must be asking us who live in Zambia than believing lies on ZWD!!

    Its my prayer that HH stands in 2021 with ECL and see how he will be walloped pants down as he is UNVOTABLE!!!

    HH has failed to win…

    • 100,000 votes, that is the same as 3 townships in Lusaka!!!

      It sound better for you to say 6.5 provinces but lungu only won by a disputed eqivalent of 3 townships.

      For some one who spent 10 billion on development and used illegally all state machinery to campaign for him and bankrupted the economy doing that, that is a disgrace…..by anyone’s standards one would have expected a land slide for lungu not a measly 100,000 stolen votes.

  40. Continue……..
    HH has failed to win for 5 times but UPND still hope that he can win at 6th or 7th attempts.is that being normal?this is pure madness.how can UPND keep on fielding a record political reject HH then hope for different results?
    Believe you me,under HH UPND will cry once more after losing 11/08/2021 elections!!!

  41. Ms Mutinta also wants to be in the news? Is she trying to run UPND on behalf of her husband since the fat donkey is not eligible? UPNDonkeys a family empire?
    Whatever, couldnt care less, she is not worth my comment, scrap.

  42. After the police left, Mutinta broke the windows so she could point the fingers at the police! You guys are nauseating!

  43. @ 40.3 Spaka like lilo,

    You are right the HC said that.

    But before starting that, he already identified the root cause of the problem as follows:

    1) failure to accept election results despite UK, EU, and THE RESTof the international community accepting the results

    Or is it that youread one word and interpret it in line with your personal ideas instead of reading the entire message to get its context.

  44. Mutinta did not know her caged husband kept money in the house the workers did so when police came they looted the cash and diverted attention. She doesnt know how much went missing. Police conduct a search anything sized is placed as an inventory incase there is need to present evidence such as money laundaring

  45. Its actually ZCCM-IH that is supposed to complain that the money that was stolen from it has been stolen from the stealer
