Dear Brothers and sisters,
Pray for me, immediately after Kampyongo and Mumbi Phiri issued statements that associated my name to yesterday’s city market inferno. Just yesterday alone I received over seven death threats. As I speak now my life is in danger and I have moved from my original home for fear of being killed by PF members. It is so disappointing that senior members of the patriotic Front can make such careless statements seconds after the fire gutted the market. In a normal functioning state, Police would have been allowed to carry out thorough investigations before any statement is issued. Iam so disappointed by the inspector general of Police Mr.Kanganja, instead of caution Kampyongo and Mumbi Phiri for threatening the life of an innocent citizens like me, he was there clapping and nodding his head.
I have suffered a lot because of their carelessness and as I speak I was offered a position of dean at one of the Universities and now my offer has been put on hold.
Here are facts people need to know, City market is owned by the Lusaka city council, it was constructed in 1997 by the then MMD government along Lumumba road as a modern market.
It has hundreds of stores / stands, it’s properly metal fenced and has about 12 entry/exit points that includes for passenger transport and small points for pedestrians, these points are always under lock during nights by the management.
In proximity of less than 100 meters in the southern part of the market is a Paramilitary camp popularly known as muzaleka” mounted for the sole purpose of patrolling the market at night by the paramilitary police.
The market itself is also very secure and concrete made and locked by 18 hours and activities only remain outside the actual market (within the metal fence).
For one to have entry into the market, the gates must be opened by the management.
The Market was opened by PF Management at 05:00hrs to allow sweepers and cleaners, 30 minutes later the market got burnt. Judge for yourselves who is behind all this.
There is power in our tongues and I earnestly appeal to all political players not to rush in issuing unsubstantiated statements that may take away the peace that we have enjoyed since independence.
According to our little understanding, the president can declare the state of emergency when there is political tension in a country.
Edgar Lungu is on record of saying there is no tension in Zambia, its only exist in those Catholic bishops and some journalists.
His vice President Inonge Mutukwa Wina also echoed on Friday in parliament when she was asked by one of the UPND MP about the state of the nation.
The political tension is nor here nor there, it’s just an imagination and visualization from others’ heads said Inonge Wina.
If what the president (?) said yesterday was true that he should be allowed to be a dictator for a short period is true, then this country is headed for disaster, bbola nga na ikosa being rough will not help you score goals, what he needs is to sober up and find lasting solutions to challenges going on in the country.
One of the reason why we have insisted that the gutting down of the City Market should be investigated independently is because from the look of things PF is playing double standard game and they seem to know exactly what happened.
There is no way they can hint on the state emergency unless if they are telling Zambians that it was a planned move in order to paralyze the judiciary system so that President Hakainde Hichilema and other political prisoners remains in prison for a longer time.
The economy is already crippled and the state of emergency will worsen the situation.
Before you start pointing fingers, think about what you have done? State of emergency over your own orchestrated/stage managed crimes, will not offer any solutions to the many challenges facing this country.
For months now we have been warning Zambians over your evil plans that began a year ago. You thought the incarceration of HH will see UPND members take to the street, thereafter seize the moment to declare one. Alas you did not get what you hoped for and the only option/last resort is move onto stage managed satanic arsons in order to get public sympathy.
We are so grateful for the able Leadership of our beloved mother Hon.Mutale Nalumango and GBM for restraining our members not to take to the streets, even under intense provocation, they read your evil intentions and as UPND we shall Continue being Law abiding citizens and not fall to your traps.
We ask government to urgently compensate Our people who lost Property in the inferno.
The questions that need answers are:
1.Where did the fire start from?
2.At what time did the fire start?
3.Was the market open by that time?
4.Where were our police who patrols the market?
5.Why did it take so long for fire brigade to respond to the inferno and why were fire engines from the airport not called to come and beef up other fire men prevent colossal damage?
I have instructed My Lawyers to commence litigation against Mumbi Phiri and Hon.Kampyongo, I will not rest until I see these two evil beings punished by the Law.
Larry L Mweetwa
UK.
You just way too careless with your facebook post man.
Its because you an educated fool Larry. Turn down on the garbage you post on Facebook then this will stop. You have been inciting violence in the nation for so long just because your ka demigod HH has always been turned down the Zambian people. Grow up
Malibu yakuilombela. You have been inciting violence in the nation for too long Larry, so stop crying foul play.
Ba Larry stop complaining. If you stop posting ifyabungwa on your facebook page this cant be happening. Mwalisambilila nomba ubupuba fulu fulu mu bongo all just because you want your fellow bantustan to rule Zambian even at the expense of our peace. May the law catch up with you
The problem you have is you can seem to realize that even if HH and his minions declared war no one could bother to join in, apart from your tribesmen. Zambia is more than Southern province.
Larry is a big problem, he issues alot of careless statements. Just check on facebook and you will see how backward he thinks.
We voted and chose who should rule us, your HH failed for the 5th time. You will not get power through back door methods, on that note, I commend the police for their efforts to curb this barbaric behaviour form people like Larry.
HH will remain behind bars as long as the law dictates, no amount of careless statements will change that. UPND must never be allowed to rule, when we vote again, I will vote against you just like the majority zambianns
The character now even has the humility to address us as his brothers and sisters when he has been talking down to people with opposed views like they are his sworn enemies. Larry, you made the bed of thorns by yourself and for yourself, and now is the time to lie in it, babe. You were running off your mouth carelessly. Now the amargeddon your HH promised us is also catching up with you. Remember Osama bin Laden how he rejoiced with his henchmen over the bringing down of the twin towns in the US. But when the special American soldiers took him out, he had no time to even fire back. Despite telling the whole world, he was going to shoot himself if American soldiers went to capture him, the man never did. He was gunned down hands down.
But boyi Larry you cost us 100,000 votes last year. And I told you this. Posting monkeys dancing dununa reverse was not cool. This time it could have been PF petitioning.
@Nostradamus,
Am surprised, I clearly remember you telling this guy last year
Mweetwa the great suddenly gasping for air. W.a.nya baisa! Brothers and sisters my foot!
Larry Lee Ball Low sana. He makes UPND weaker
OK YOU THINK LIVING IN THE UK GIVES YOU AN ABSOLUTE PASSPORT TO INCITE TERRORISM IN ZAMBIA, DON’T YOU? YOU CAN BE EXTRADITED TO GO AND EXPLAIN YOUR EXCITEMENT ABOUT INCITATIONS, BAWISHI. THE TERRORISM WHICH IS HAPPENING IN THE UK IS NO WORSE THAN THE TERRORISM YOU ARE INCITING IN ZAMBIA AND GOVERNMENT-TO-GOVERNMENT TALK COULD END IN HANDING YOU OVER TO ANOTHER GOVERNMENT WHERE YOU ARE INCITING TERRORISM AND EXPRESSING YOUR HAPPINESS WHEN YOU ACHIEVE IT. UKOSEKO LARRY.
LARRY, ANY ONE WITH THEIR RIGHT SENSES IN THE RIGHT PLACE WOULDN’T BE WASTING THEIR TIME PRAYING FOR YOU. I AM PERSONALLY PRAYING FOR THOSE WHOSE PROPERTIES AND MERCHANDISES HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE FIRES YOU INCITE PEOPLE IN ZAMBIA START. THESE POOR PEOPLE ARE FAMILY PEOPLE WHO KEEPERS WHO FEED THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF WHAT THEY SELL AT THESE MARKETS YOU INCITE YOUR UPND BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO BURN. I ALSO PREY FOR THOSE YOU GUYS KILL AND INJURE DUE TO YOUR BITTERNESS, HATE AND TRIBAL. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO READ THAT IT EXCITES YOU TO HEAR THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GRIEVING OVER THEIR LOSSES. TERRORISM IN ANY FORM CAN NOT BE TOLERATED IN ZAMBIA AND ELSEWHERE.
Rubbish
Ba Larry your time of reckoning has finally come. You thought by hiding in England you will be safe. The UK government can easily extradite you to Zambia as they can never condone ubupuba bobe. You have been hiding behind the FB for too long a time.
Another talkative person talking governance from afar. Come through and soak in the local economy so you can speak as a man.
You are a fool and you think your lawyers will work from UK or Zambia. Come back and finish what you have started. Come clear yourself in our courts of law. These facebook nosense doesnt help.
The problem with you UPND lot is you can never think holistically (beyond your tribe+UPND). Your stance is – at whatever cost a Tonga needs to rule Zambia (How can you honestly win elections when only 2 and half of Zambia’s 10 provinces always vote for you?). IWE chi GBM, you are a shame chimudala, do you honestly think these lot can let you be their PM…
As for you Larry, time will catch up with you SOONER, quite a number of us know where you live in England. You often move up and down from Islington and Goldersgreen.
You don’t have the mandate of 7 and half provinces as you seem to claim you have only three Northern, Luapula and Eastern (Eastern Rhodesia). Southern, Central, Western, Northwestern, Copper belt belong to Western Rhodesia. But because pf rig elections, you seem to be under the illusion that you command 7 and half provinces, stop this rhetoric and rigging elections like Musaveni and Mugabe. Further, Britain did not give Bembas and Ngonis a mandate to rule Zambia. Under which constitution?. Any Zambian not tribe can rule Zambia as long as he or she has the majority votes. HH wants to stop pf from rigging elections, hence the petition.
Mr Gondwe
Another delusional looter.
The discredited ECZ only had lungu win by a disputed 100,000 votes which is the same a 3 town ships in Lusaka. So if the difference between 7.5 and 3.5 provinces is only 100,000 in your mind ,You are lost in dejavu.
The UK does not condone terrorism at home or abroad.
Larry will be thoroughly investigated and expelled from GB if he is found wanting.
By the way, how come he knows so much about the outlay of the market? Come on people, it is a market we are talking about. Who goes shopping at a market and studies it as if for an exam?
Am spooked as well. Some having so much data about a market including its security.
Yeah i was also wondering how he knows all these details about the market. So he went to study market so that he can know when and where to start the atrocity. I am really suspecting that this guys is involved with these fires. Let the law catch up with him.
Not Supporting Larry, but before he moved to the UK, he used to sale at the market, so he probably knows that from being a seller there.
Larry Mweetwa AKA Wanzelu..which University can appoint you a dean badaala? Your punctuation, grammar and spelling is at Grade 9 level..
Muli wansala fye iwe wanzelu ..ati Larry Mweetwa UK??? Is UK a qualification now??????
Drop the crap, his punctuation and grammar is way better than yours. Why are you Zambians addicted to ‘pull him down syndrome’. If you have nothing to say about what he has posited, better shunt your smelly mouth instead of being petty!
Well said. His punctuation and grammar leaves a lot to be desired.
Larry Mweetwa=Hopeless Cretin
Larry, just when my lips were mumbling a prayer for you, you spoiled it all with tons of insults in the latter parts of your posting.
Why won’t you calm down and see through things with some measure of clarity.
In 1969 ANC burned the Lubengele Hall in Chililabombwe killing dozens of revellers and later on killed Unip Stewart Mathew Nkoloma. The perpetrators of these acts were arrested, appeared in court and sentenced to death. Mr Mweetwa if you’re a courageous man just come back to Zambia and fight openly. Or can’t you see you’re fighting against the whole world and soon you’ll be extradited to Zambia or sent to Quantanabay as terrorist?
What whole world naimwe.
No one likes a dictator.
Problem and problems Mr Spaka ….Egypt is a dictatorship, The whole Arab world is a dictatorship and America loves them. Zambia is not even 1/10 as hard as these governments, but because you’re bitter you see dictatorship in everything. Burning markets is the dictatorship we’ve in Zambia. You do this forgetting that the markets house all members of our societies including Upnd and hope to win elections?
Egypt is not a dictatorship. Power resides wth the military, supported by USA Govt. The military oversees the transfer of power if theres a standoff that would affect the national peace. Elections are held and all presidents are declared in a clean manner with no petitions and/or court cases, other than those of corruption cases. Its a good system!
Don’t twist terminologies. In Egypt erring reporters are imprisoned without trial and you call it a good system? Anyway in Upndian dictionary everything is interpreted differently from the normal meaning.
Larry, U will be smoked out of UK to come and face justice at home. Ask you leader to prepare a room for you at Mukobeko.
GRZ should tell UK that they are keeping a terrorist. Let him be deported
Larry L Mweetwa SHOULD BE TREATED AS A TERRORIST IN UK, EVERYONE WHO SUPPORT TERRORISM IS A TERRORIST SIMPLE.
Just to be clear, did you just say you were about to land a job with a university before PF shattered your dream?
Serious? Your incoherence and waffling contradicts your claim. Anyhow, could be that you’re too mad to properly organise your thought process.
Ati GBM and Nalumango have restrained your youths from rioting? Just unleash them and see what happens to them. Just hope you, GBM, Nalumango etc will also send their children to participate in those riots.
He’s not different from IS, Al Shabab or Boko Haram. They lost the election and instead of going back to the drawing board they’re wasting time on disputing the results. Only one month remaining and it’ll be one since that loss.
Lynch the Hallucinating Hyena siblings.
I have picked one blog that matters most: Zambia is bigger than Southern Province !(including chief Mukuni). All in all Zambia is bigger than PF or UPND! So fellas, turn from your evil ways and let us save Zambia from self destruction lest other peoples will be laughing at us from the comfort of their homelands.
Ba Larry, even my four years old son can think better than you on the city market fire. You are such a heartless man and a coward. Zambia isn’t ruled by people from outside but by bonafied Zambians. You are brothers with Bin laden
You reap what you sow…So this Terrorist Larry Mweetwa should be extradited to Zambia…if not the Zambian Government should revoke his Zambian Passport which is the property of the Government so that we see where he will go after officially declaring him a terrorist…
You seem to be untouchable when you yap carelessly on Facebook. Who doesnt know your posts ? You place peoples lives in danger whilst enjoying diaspora life. So who are u crying to today. Now that you are in danger you accidentally remember that there is a Govermment of Edgar Lungu, the one you and Kaili-1 dare not to recognise. Uza fenta nakupusa kwako. You will run away from your own shadow !
Is this the man that congratulated UPND carders for burning the City Market on his Face Book page? You reap what you sow. You are one reason why UPND cannot win at national level.

Larry L. Mweetwa, no wonder they are suspecting you. You are in UK and yet you know all the details, including security about city market. The way you are analyzing the operations about city market give me an impression that you are a suspect. You have a story to tell.
Technology has moved on my friend. Just get an expert to transform you, maybe you identify yourself as a lady for now until the time PF is out of power. They have cloned your Facebook ID and sent a message as though it were from you. Remember how PF minions are master framers and character assassinators. Take heart! Time will deal with PF soon. We have seen these antiques before. They are called kicks of a dying horse. Stay safe! Don’t leave any trail. It is now clear that PF will blame anything worse on those they hate! Dust yourself and man up!
Efilya icibemba citila, ‘Umwaice ekalisha lilya anya’, elyo kabili abati ‘Kolwe ashilabengwa enda naponona’. Ala mune Mweetwa efilya kabili batila, ‘Icinwapofu caletelele pwele’, You’re in it *****!
Akanwa kaminlandu ako …….
The Maverick Muhammad Ali once said, “If you have a loud mouth you got to know how to defend it”
Larry on your face book posting you wrote and I quote:
LUSAKA ON FIRE -NOW AS I Speak DUE TO HH ARREST.
Then you went on to say; Job well done bane let’s intensify such actions and defend democracy.
WHAT DID YOU MEAN? Do not cry and blame others for your foolishness, you did the same just after elections claiming that Zambia was on fire.
Larry , you have just brought fire on own laps, how can you speak careless
It is all nonsense that people are writing here. Just identify and arrest those who burnt the market. So far the finger is pointing at the PF cadres and Zambia Police as the being responsible to burning of soweto market.
trying hard to point the investigation in the wrong direction .. it wont work!
Mapolo yako Larry
But are you saying you did not write the rubbish? What is the point? How do we symphasise with you when we do not know your complaint!
Only 1 comment for you in this whole blog! Makes me think u wrote it yourself . That’s how much you hurt people when u incite violence all the way in uk as if u have no family in zed. Some of us don’t even like pf either. Be objective in your criticism Larry
Larry you are the biggest f00l that talks too much and says nothing. It is rugrats like you that give UPND a bad name. You do not speak for UPND or represent the Party in any official capacity. Your carelessness combined with attention seeking has landed you in trouble. Your fellow m0r0ns, Mumbi and Kapyongo will use you as a scape goat to justify B0z0’s plans for the State of Emergency. My life is in danger, what life? The life of lies and false pretences? Grow up Larry up!
Who can pray for you id1ot?
If the UK Govnt is serious,they must deport you to Zambia so that we can come and stone you to death as you are such a f00lish tonga man!!
You are the one who make HH lose election after election.SURELY HOW CAN YOU BE CELEBRATING WHEN YOUR FELLOW TONGAS ARE BURNING ZAMBIA?you are a very evil man and deserve to die a painful death!!GOD WILL SURELY PUNISH YOU BADLY!!
You see now larry … you’re such a liability even to the so called upnd!
Just reading this i can smell that you have a hand in this. Just wait my brother. Think how many Families have been direct affected. Have no kind words for who ever did this devil act.
We as a country are very busy praying for the people who lost their livelihood in the inferno and not interested in your issues. please carry your own selfish load and kindly re relocate to South Africa .Thanks for telling us your problems and please leave us alone as we try to find the way forward. Our Bills, school fees, are more important than your safety.
SPOT ON
You have all said this for me.
Hunt and cage this quack!
Send him to Chilubi island
“The economy is already crippled and the state of emergency will worsen the situation.;
IS THIS STATEMENT TRUE AND FACTUAL BA LARRY SURE THAT THE ECONOMY IS CRIPPLED. WE ARE STILL USING THE KWACHA, INFLATION IS STABLE, EXCHANGE RATE STABLE, INTEREST RATES THOUGH HIGH BUT STABLE, BUMPER HARVEST WE HAVE. AM NOT SAYING EVERYTHING IS PERFECT BUT EVEN IN AMERICA OR UK THINGS ARE NOT PERFECT. STUDY THE GREEK ECONOMY MAYBE THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
Larry asks some genuine questions , who opened the market at 5 am when the fire started ? Was it PF or UPND ???
Larry you asked for it. You started by sponsoring people to destroy ECLs BANNERS when we were heading for elections,, you clapped when the banners were brought down now you also clapped when the market was burnt. Anyway, engage the lawyers, they will just eat your money but the fact is that you need to be extradited from your hiding place. Mind you UK does not entertain such nonsense especially after what they have been through of late. MUMBWE AITILE IMPASHI NOKUMUBUBA SHAMUBUBA. You asked for it. LELOO!!
UK is very much against terrorism, and thats what you are practicing….very soon you are going to join your HH in Mukobeko, am sure cabinet is working towards nipping you from what you think is a hiding place WANYAAA!!
Immediately I saw that FB post, I knew this Ni@ga is in deep sh*t. You can run but you can’t hide. You can’t write what you wrote and get away with it. The same goes for all those keyboard warriors who become invincible when facing their screens. Careful what you call others, be it UPND or PF, human dignity is simply human dignity and it starts with me, you and all of us. We are in this together because when hell breaks loose, no one will have time to explain where they stand or what they meant. One Zambia, One Nation.
True Zambians know that this is a PF evil plan to blame it on the opposition. But their evil plan will not work
Larry Mweetwa is an educated fool who does not discern what he says. Each time he opens his mouth he apeaks nonsense. Check your posts and tell the nation who sent you photos of the burning market the moment you praised your fellow criminals dor the job well done. You better keep your mouth shut when the people you have destroyed property are still bitter. Shameless Mweetwa and your agencies of evil.
It’s difficult to support Larry Mweetwa because of his vast map knowledge and security operations of lusaka city market.Too bad for People who lost their belongings.
@41meant to write His vast map knowledge and he’s well versed with security operations at city market.
May be he is not even in UK. ZP watch he might be right here in Zambia, the moron knows a lot of things. he can even read you the main suspects.
Q5..why did it take the fire brigade long to come? Two answers :
1) The Zambian Fire Brigade has always taken too long to arrive at fire scenes.
2) Maybe you’ve infiltrated the Fire Brigade.
Finally as has been mentioned by others, your knowledge of the market layout makes you a major suspect. Why would you study the premises like you’re an employee of the market.
Its very very unfortunate that the country’s biggest market was gutted and a lot of people lost their goods and this equally affected many thousands of people who do their shopping from there. The authorities should take this seriously and carryout complete investigations in a professional manner. That market belongs to every Zambian. Did the council management insure the market and how often have they been carrying out periodic maintenance and what safety measures were put in place to safeguard the lives of marketeers and their merchandise and the general public. Lets not hide behind politics and start finger pointing at each other. This is not time for blame game. Let the authorities carry out proper investigations by involving experts in fire matters even if it means hiring such…
@45 My point exactly. The City market is a business premises and it is expected that LCC insured both the buildings and goods that are stored in there. The question that lingers in my mind is why did government rush to inform the traders who unfortunately lost their goods in the inferno that it will compensate them. We have had markets gutted by fire each year especially in the cold (mu June) season but i cannot recollect government offering to compensate the traders. Could I be missing something here! I wonder how the quantum of compensation will be determined! I hear already one trader was claiming that goods worth K300,000.00 were gutted. This is one trader.
@ Avolatro; real voters are found in the market, bus stations and the compounds. when these reject you, you can never ever win an election in zambia; they are very influential pipo. so dont underrate them. they can spoil your mood if you mistreat them. most of them come from densely populated areas where voters are. so if you want to lead, make sure you appeal to these citizens. so you have to really show you are concerned about them before they kick you out and am sure that why the GRZ said they will do something for them. yalikosa kuno ba kaamba; nagatwakukana nishi twakukana; ngatwakusumina ninshi natukusumina, efyo yaaka
Larry you are way too equipped with the schematics of the City Marker to claim innocence. How do you know all those details about a Market which you have no interest in? You have just confirmed people’s suspicions in this posting. After all you the one who has been saying you will burn Zambia, so eat your fruit ?. You must be fished out and come and answer to all those people whose property has been burnt. You are just an educated fool, bitter tribalism, period!
This is another educated Zambian F.o.ol!!!
Is this a comprehension exercise because I see answers to his questions in his statement.
Questions: 2.At what time did the fire start? 5:30 3. Was the market open by that time? opened by PF Management 4. Where were our police who patrols the market? No patrols because people had enterd
Answer from his statement:
The Market was opened by PF Management at 05:00hrs to allow sweepers and cleaners, 30 minutes later the market got burnt.
5/5 ??
Larry you’re a devil kakuponona do you know the what pain you have caused to mother land peaceful Zambia
The statements that Larry Mweetwa posts in his Facebook speak volume of his twisted mindset. His posting with reference to yesterdays fire in Lusaka suggests that he has prior knowledge of who is committing acts of arson, as he is inciting for more economic sabotage. His statements are actually endangering the lives of innocent people – Tongas included.
Many Zambians have lived in UK long enough to know the academic standards prevailing in UK. The British have tight-roped systems that prohibit English men married to foreign nationals from taking up senior positions in their institutions. WHO IS LARRY MWEETWA TO CLAIM A POSITION OF DEAN IN A UK UNIVERSITY? He is telling a blue LIE.
Distractive behaviour will never take us as a country anywhere we need to unite and develop this land by our selves. Am sure any well meaning Zambian will never support peptrators of violence let the govt do it’s Job no Mercy for a small group of people acting against this land God bless us God bless Zambian
Larry, nose demons, JJ are members of the Under Fives. Low IQs.
Ba President do your part Iam in support of whatever move you will take to safeguard peace in this nation. Earlier pronouncements by some of the opposition political party leaders NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED thoroughly. The statements that Larry Mweetwa also posts in his Facebook speak volume of his twisted mindset!
ba larry mwanya amafi ayanunka. you think U.K. IS IN HEAVEN YOU FOOL
THIS LUNATIC IS STILL AROUND KANSHI, ZAMBIANS WILL EAT YOU ALIVE MAMBALA. JUST REMEMBER THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL COME BACK TO ZAMBIA.
Can someone sponsor me to go and bring back this Lunatic…he should come and face our wrath!
Time for payback
