Larry Mweetwa denies burning City Market and accuses Kampyongo of lying

By Larry Mweetwa

Minister of home Affairs Steven Kampyongo last evening went on National Television with lies aimed at defaming my name and character.

He told the nation that they have evidence linking me to city Market inferno because I cerebrated and posted something immediately city market was gutted. Again I wish to put this clearly to the public that at no time did I post anything about City Market fire.

UK is 2hours behind Zambia, so it was about 03:00 UK time or 5:00AM Zambian time when city market was burnt.

I only came to learn of the city market inferno after the UPND Media Team contacted me in the morning that Kampyongo told marketeers at city market 13minutes after the fire that one Larry Mweetwa was the mastermind and this was followed by a media statement by Our mother ba Mumbi Phiri-PF deputy spokes person accusing me of having a hand in the burning of city market.

Upon receiving this news I put up a press statement vehemently denying the accusations as I posted nothing related to the burning of the market.

Later in the day I called my cousin who was running my T shirt screen printing business at city Market to find out the safety of our machines and he told me everything was destroyed.

I set up the T-Shirt printing Services purely to assist upnd Candidates especially councillors with limited resources to offer nearly free services to support our great party upnd. All that was destroyed and I can never rejoice to see such damage affecting million lives.

Pre emptying KAMPYONGO!

1. The picture and image Kampyongo is cheating the nation to defame me was initially circulated on social media by Kwacha times a PF propaganda mouth piece.

2.The account is Fake and was created by PF. instead of putting city Market images they put Kamwala Market! Can you see how dull your ministers are?

3. The 6hours time difference when the post was made and the gutting of city market does not match with uk time zone and the time of the inferno.

4. The daily mail further defamed me in their article saying I applauded the burning of Lusaka city market shortly after it started, that is a total fabrication, when in the actual sense I offered sympathy and prayers to our brothers and sisters who lost property in the inferno.

5. In UK we don’t use 3G but 4G gsm and no double sim. The post was fabricated by Mr.Kampyongo.

When a witch doctor fails to remove evil spirits from his patient, he will ask them to bring a dog’s horn. PF should first admit that they failed to offer protection and security of the market. And what Zambians need are answers not shifting the blame on innocent citizens.

What role do carders play in keeping vigil of city market since they are neither police nor armcor?

Why did it take 13 minutes for PF to know who burnt the market? Do they know something we don’t know?

Why didn’t the minister allow the police to carry out a thorough investigation before making unsubstantiated conclusion and worse off skewing the outcome by directing the IG to hunt for me.

Surely, the Zambian government will pay heavily in billions for this character assassination and defamation of my name.

Here below is the statement I posted when city Market was gutted and this is the only post I made regarding the inferno.

I therefore ask all well meaning Zambians to ignore the rantings from this taka taka minister Kampyongo and Our Mother Mumbi Phiri.

Press Statement

RE:FAKE POST BEING CIRCULATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY PF CARDERS ON BURNING OF SOWETO MARKET.
_________________________
I would like to inform the public that the post circulating on social media attributed to me is fake news and has nothing to do with Soweto market.

This is an attempt by PF to avoid responsibility, shift blame and minimise the damage they have caused on innocent citizens of this great nation.

Kindly when you see such fake post from PF, take time and look at the two images they are totally different.

Our prayers are with the people of Zambia who have lost property and income.

    • Agreed. Sue this Kapyongo and PF chaps in their personal capacities. Let each one pay 10 million pounds in damages and donate this money to the poor Zambians. After all, these PF chaps are only doing two things: looting public resources and focusing on HH and UPND instead of the betterment of Zambian lives.

    • In as much as l think this larry boy is just an id!ot and attention seeker linking him to the fire is even more idiocity.
      There is lack of proper leadership in the country the other day it was max calling for the arrest of chishimba yesterday it was lufwekelo all in the name of the president!
      Mwebantu kumbali kutukwa imfumu!
      How l miss Kaunda he would actually fire people osati lungu who has no idea just threats and good at threatening kambwili and HH.
      This PF thing now seems like a bad dream for Zambians when shall we wake up?

    • PF leaders are so Childish and full of lies that Zambians end up believing them. It’s a shame to have such selfish leaders who are so good at lies yet so dull that they forget we are in 21st century with evolved Technology.
      Larry well done and very possible PF created a fake Facebook account in your name. We know them they planned the HH Treason case as they are very good at break our communities apart, in the same way they have brought tribalism in Zambia. The whole Vice President also caught up in the fake lies requesting for Interpol?? Very shameful. Sue them so that they learn a lesson.

    • All of the sudden, there are just too many paid PF unemployed Zambian kaponya youths commenting on Lusaka Times, whats really going on? We want sarnity on here, let them to go back and continue commenting rubbish on PF blog

  1. @nostradamus, good idea to Larry; Let him sue sue Kapyongo and other useless PF crooks and liars and the PF government in the London court. I have told everyone that the fires were the work of PF to blame them on the UPND so that people will warm up to dictator Changwa; but their evil plans will backfire;

    • Best to get a lawyere instead of issueing unvetted statements ba Larry. Inciting violenec is just as bad as commiting the act.

  2. Why do you tongalize everything? You are on record not only once of rejoicing in every calamity that many zambians go through because of your foolish and blind loyalty to up and down party. You think by staying in the UK ur clever than anybody. You should know that we are very much aware of how a zambian woman took you to the uk and you later abandoned her. You have been in the UK and terribly failed even to improve your vocabulary. Time is catching up with you thick liped monster.

  3. Scares me how our good nation is developing the attitude of ‘guilty before proven innocent before court.’

  4. Larry, your day has come. How many things have you fabricated in the name of your great party? Today if these are lies against you then you are the architect of your own downfall. Like the boy who cried wolf, you are crying now but no one will listen! DO UNTO OTHERS!!!! shame on u

    • I agree. I don’t really feel sorry for you, Larry, because you have behaved in a manner that is just careless and unpatriotic. If UPND is to come to power, they should not rely on characters like you who have no shame. You have lied so much that some of us who are not PF supporters would not mind you being prosecuted. How do you post a fake jail cell for HH? And those pictures from Nigerian civil disturbances were alarming! I bet you even go church and think that God is pleased with your fake news! Look not all of us like PF but your actions just indicate that UPND is willing to gain power at all costs (even if it means that the nation is brought to the brink of war). You better repent and change your ways.

  5. Mweetwa uli chiyanga. A coward and a hope UPND cadres lost property in the fire so that they no that HH is really a satanist.

  6. W hen people are used to listen to your lies, they will never believe you even if what you are telling is the truth..You created your own trap Larry you are really tasting yowa own medicine which is muleza..

  7. This Satanist and the so called HH will pay dearly. The God I pray has no mercy on people who cause harm to the poor. Lets wait and see.

  8. Reality has finally caught up with you Larry. You kept thinking you were untouchable and that you could dupe the Zambian people and government…
    **First, don’t lie to the Zambian people about the TIME DIFFERENCE- This is now British Summer Time and hence the time difference between UK and Zambia is only 1 hour (It will become 2 hours from October).
    ** Secondly, your postings from time immemorial has only been anti- Bemba-Nyanja and all others opposed to your supreme leader HH + UPND…
    ** Thirdly, anyone with any shred of intelligence would conclude that you and your Cousins working from City Market had a hand in this inhuman behaviour. YOUR TONGA LOT ARE A PROBLEM!!

  9. LARRY, TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO TASTE YOUR OWN MEDICINE. SHOW YOUR SELF, APPEAR IN COURT AND PROVE THAT YOU ARE NOT THE AUTHOR OF THOSE POSTS CEREBRATING THE ARSONIC ATTACKS AND URGING UPND CADRES TO BURN STATE HOUSE AND BASICALLY SUPPORTING AN INSURRECTION AND MUTINY IN ZAMBIA.

  10. in grade 5 we read a story about Muno who use to lie to villagers about a lion coming to attack the cows. he lied for four times or so. the day the lion came to attack the cows for sure, muno shouted at the loudest voice ever, no villager believed him. he was telling them the truth but his past actions made them not believe him. the villagers lost their animals. this is the the same with you bro Larry. pipo are failing to believe you now because of your past; you actually might be telling the truth; but your previous commentaries on issues concerning your pipo and Zambia makes a lot of pipo not believe what you are trying to defend your self. my advice, for now take a low profile because whatever you say a number of victims still think you know something about it. it may true or it may…

    • My grandmother used to tell that story in order to discourage us from telling lies whether as a joke or otherwise.

  11. it may not. SO BE CAREFUL HOW YOU COMMENT WAT IS HAPPENING IN ZAMBIA . YOU STILL HAVE FRIENDS , RELATIVES, FAMILY HERE. UK IS NOT YOUR HOME. REMEMBER THE SAME PIO YOU ARE AGAINST TODAY, YOU MAY NEED THEM TOMORROW. what would you do if ECL and HH became best of friends today? its possible

  12. Larry:
    The best you can do is to come back to zambia and defend yourself. UK authorities have already taken note of you and from now on you should be very careful on what you say and do in UK.

    The fact that u have strong connections to City market not to say but simply printing free UPND T-Shirts is an indication of political sabotage because campaign time is over but you still busy printing things.

    Your words betrays you and I doubt your intellectual capacity too.

    • You read my mind. This man should come back and demosnstrate the same bravery he displays on social media. I equally doubt his intellectual capacity. So much for trying to look and sound educated.

    • Mwaice wandi Larry uli muchibe nangula akakufukankila! INTERPPOL – yaba! Ngabakwikata mwaiche ukalepauka nge nsalu! Ala uyu Kampyongo umfwa mukali elo akesa nge cipuku ukokwine ku UK – Muukali!

    • Who want want to come to Zambia to face fake charges like HH??

      UK authorities have more important things to look at than to try to police lungus budding dictatorship and who says party business of mobilisation and sanitisation stops after elections ???

    • I do not know this Larry, what I gather here is that he is an economic refugee living in UK, try to make a champion of himself through the suffering of his people. It’s so pathetic to have people running away from their countries and thereafter start looking down on where they have come from. I know the economy of UK is far much better than Zambia, but remember we are in the building process, we need to be patriotic. Moses in the bible refused to be called as one of the pharaohs because of patriotism. He had all privileges, but refused to fall for that for the freedom of his country( Israel). Promote peace Larry, do not stir more hatred between PF and UPND.

  14. to day you are saying your offered prayers to the victims which God did you pray to.because as far as I remember you criticize the bible which is the word of God.you see you cant run away from the Bible my dear.even your being in the UK is the grace of God.

  15. Complete nonsense and not newsworthy. You can nearly smell the fear from Larry. The chap doesn’t even realise what time zone he’s in. FYI Zambia is only one hour ahead.

    This man is a trifle DELUDED and has an over inflated idea of his own importance. You made your bed now lie in it! Don’t expect any sympathy from the people you’ve been calling all sorts of names just because they don’t support UPND.

  16. The day the Tongas will start ruling this country we will scamper in all directions. Larry Mweetwa will even come back to Zambia

    • @my voice your reasoning is dangerous,what has tribe got to do with ruling,in this day and change u still preach division and yet when.a white man calls you a nigga you cant have it but your own brothers and sisters who just speak differently you think them inferior grow up and bury your hate

  17. Jesus Christ is lord over Zambia and lord for the oppressed. Mweetwa may God forgive you and embrace you into his kingdom and deliver you from the possible link to satanism and mason ism as only people who belong to the aforementioned sects can have the odesity to celebrate the suffering of other fellow humanity.
    For the Bible in Jeremiah 33:3 says call on my name i shall answer you . For real from the day fire gutted city market , we have not gone to sleep we have totally submitted to almighty God THROUGH the love of Jesus Christ with a serious petition to deliver Zambia from such calamities and answer by fire to expose the perpetrators the way we did with the ritual killers of zingalume. The same God who nightly exposed the Zingalume killers within 7 days of our petition prayers, has…

  18. Mwaice akalisha ilyoanya. You see Larry you have even shifted from your watchdog to LT. What are you looking for here?

  19. Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing, Jesus cried. Zambians should also cry, Father forgive UPND for they know not what they are doing.

  20. answered our petition prayers by fire and believe you me God has divinely showed us signs for his divine intervention to bring the truth to surface . God has heard with anger the cries of all the 1900 traders and he is about to manifest his power to his glory he is about to crash down the devil and his agents . I decree and declare God has answered our petition and is about to show the world that he is lord of this second Israel mother Zambia for no weapon formed against this land shall prosper . Withdraw your earlier statement and repent God needs you as he is God of second chance i for one will pray for Gods mercy on you . God has arisen for Zambia he is king of glory he is about to deliver Zambia . Amen and amen.

  21. Waona manje. Bwela chabe kuno uzakamba bwino na NEZ.

    How can pharmacist low into filth political armagedon.

    Your job is to save lives and not hurting people. You and your friend NEZ are sponsoring terrorism

    The matter is now govt to govt. You are just few hours away. You thought England was far

    • My friend, this f00l will not talk to fellow mor0n nez because he is nez himself. Delusional zombies. Come and insult nez, i just called you an idi0t, you and your kin. Heartless ninc0mpoops. Lumpens!

  22. Larry, assumptions have limits, and you don’t tell them like they were empirical truth in social media, unless your aim is to mislead the masses (which in this case is called propaganda). But one thing I know is that professinal propagandists have quick and analytical minds to swing and confuse their unsuspecting victims; I doubt if you are one. You do only manage to reinforce the mindset of the people you share your idealogies with – those who hate the current Lungu and like Hichilema (not that such people have reasons for the hatred or liking).

  23. Bo Mwetwa,
    according to your explanation you received a call in the morning informing you about the fire , But you only called in later in the afternoon to find out how safe was your investment in city market. this is not a normal explanation.
    its like you are told that houses in your location only to find out 4 or 6 hrs later if your house is affected.
    therefore your explanation doesn’t carry water

    • Yamupyela uyu Larry! Mwati aza pulumuka? Utabile chabe ku Afaganstan olo ku Syria! Mwaice Kampyongo is now breathing fire – ali parapid mpaka fye bakwikate just like Rtd Brig Gen Miyanda. Uyu muntu baileikatila mu Congo ninshi ale dansa namaule mu tarvern

    • Don’t go back to Zambia to defend yourself . You ll be arrested and they won’t hear you out with this state of emergency looming around. Travel at your own risk . I ll be first to laugh nga Baku jata. For even u Larry why can’t u just even keep quiet for now? U just keep yapping . Let pipo miss u And wonder where you are and what u re upto. Kukonda limelite.. U should have been a model

    • Larry ask why Edith “mupoka fyupo” Nawakwi and Anthonio “Parrot” Mwanza are dumb quiet on this treason issue and now Article 31; nabeshiba ukuti they may land themselves in prison cells for EXTORTION and MONEY LAUNDERING of some funds they have been chewing from somewhere near UK. Isa fye kuno there is plenty MUKULA tree, it has medicinal value for your purported organic pharmaceutical products you are cheating the whites with!

  24. I suspect the boy has realized that the British government may very soon ask him to leave the country ……not extradite but to politely ask to go somewhere else. All the same wishing you luck as you struggle to clear your name.

  25. Ama Zambians mwalitemwa uku kunkuluda. Its for the accusers to prove that someone has done something wrong. Not the other way round. A very simple principle of justice which many of you have serious difficulties in grasping. Or is it selected amnesia, or convenient for your selfish motives?
    Anyone who maliciously accuses someone of something they can’t prove deserves to be sued mercilessly. If you have evidence, put it together and show that it holds. Witch hunting is not a part of due process.

    • First things first; Larry afwile akatwa elo he will need to help the ZPS with their investigations. I am sure they won’t hold him for longer than is necessary. Look it took only few HOURS for HH to formerly charged and the Law is being applied fairly. UYU mwaice Larry aipompe fye, no one is after his blood but the truth!

  27. Are you really in the sir? The UK was not 2 hours behind Zambia at the time of the fire but one. Remember day light savings. Anyone in the UK at the time would know this

  28. The boy must be interrogated. So that he can help with the investigations. He is not a a sangoma. what he is explaining does not make sense at all.

  29. A shop at Soweto market producing UPND regalia? That is a lie, unless there is another Soweto market in Mazabuka.

    • whats wrong with a shop having upnd regalia? it just means they believe in upnd and not pf or mmd and that should be ok. just like its ok to have mmd decorations or pf decorations as you please and people should be ok to openly belong to whichever party or religion they want. whats happening to us sure? these are just politics. we are just voters.lets love one another and give a chance to the leaders to lead till next elections. these petty fights are whats derailing our leaders from doing the real work coz we are destructing them with uyu ni upnd lets insult them etc. Lets stop it!

    • Girlchild i live in Zambia and went to Soweto market 3 months ago and the mood at that time was that no one could produce any UPND regalia in the open at the market. Larry is lying that he had a shop at Soweto market. My question is, if he is lying about a shop at Soweto market, what else is he lying about?

    • Akamukanda lesa Larry. Right now the government needs everyone whether Upnd pf mmd or kitchen party. Let’s stop fighting one another and support the government . Let them make their own mistakes then election time we go and vote. Our own actions are bringing Ziko pansi

  30. This Larry Mweetwa boy is a thief, he has stolen money from Zambians, claiming he will send used vehicle for them. If he came to Zambia, many Zambians he stole from will be very happy to have him so that they take him to the police to recover their money. UPND is full of conmen like Larry Mweetwa.

    • Yangu tata mayo eh! Bushe kanshi uyu mulumendo emisango yakwe? Bala mwimya ba Polise. UK does not want such persons, he could even be associated with ISIS

  31. I am an ardent reader of literature and follow quite a number of posts on both Social media and otherwise. Some of those i follow are Larry Mweetwa, Emmanuel Mwamba, Chilufya Tayali, and the list goes on, and to be honest i get dismayed at the level of intellect that each one of them exhibits. they are so different in their levels of analysis and their take on everyday occurrences. In my opinion, and i stand to be corrected, Larry behaves like a teenager who is just trying to identify his place in a society with a hodgepodge of different choices. I have watched Chilufya T. and Emmanuel live in some interview, i don’t think Larry can manage a live interview. By the way, that’s my opinion

    • I reckon its the reason he celebrated an act of terrorism on poor people’s business stalls and the indiscipline of his cult god in Limulunga!

  32. Three Mansions are bent at destroying the peaceful nation of Zambia. Nose demon, Mweetwa Habanyema are member of Hazaluza Hagain party with minds operating at Under Five. Just see how they line up with negatives in a nation that is doing better than many other African countries. He will NEVER be president in Zambia! Keep dreaming!

  33. I second your emotion, all of them have a very low IQ and it is influenced by regionalism! They will never think outside the box. Their leader became rich from privatization and they never mention anything to that effect! Imagine if it was another person! He has been a leader without elections! Never mind, Wamuyaya!

  34. This guy is lying. UK is 1 hour behind Zambian time at the moment. There is daylight saving. He is hiding something. Arrest this ***** and lock him up. He has no idea that fighting GOVT first work. He will learn his lesson the hard way.

  36. So what’s the difference? The UPNDonkey is a suspected terrorist chapwa.
    Looking forward to booking him a luxury room next to his younger brother underfive.

    • iwe ba green PF fly, just concentrate on attacking defenceless mourners at funeral , who can you arrest ? lungu will not arrest anyone , the world would confirm he is a dictator.

  37. Comment:Brother Larry you are from fresh,born from a woman,lives by a breath,so know that God is watching you and people are crying day and night so mind your talks.

  38. Ahhh, sorry for your distress, but if you play dirty politics against your enemy, don’t be surprised when they turn the tables on you eventually.

  39. Larry, the dictatorial regime have given you a platform to highlight the abuses of the lungu Regime….pleas use this opportunity well……you need to contact all news channels showing your willingness to appear on their programmes to debate Zambia’s decent into dictatorship…

    many of use are doubling our efforts to highlight lungus crackdown on our democratic freedoms….
