United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema this morning visited Mr. and Mrs. Ndhlovu, the alleged victims of the Patriotic Front (PF) supporters’ brutality in Lusaka.

In a statement to the media, Mr. Hichilema who was accompanied by Party Secretary General Stephen Katuka and Party National Chairperson Ms. Mutale Nalumango expressed sadness and sympathized with the victims who are UPND Chilanga constituency members.

And Mr. Hichilema has condemned the violence and reiterated his calls for peace and unity based on respect for the rule of law and order, as well as respect for human rights and freedoms, adding that citizens must only differ on principle as opposed to resorting to violent.

The UPND leader has since called for the arrest of what he termed as the known perpetrators of violence who are being reported in some parts of the country.

Mr. Hichilema said without arresting the perpetrators of violence, citizens may resort to act in self defence, a situation that would bring anarchy in the country.

Mr. Hichilema also reiterated his stance on the need for dialogue in the country as a way to bring normalcy and freedoms based on good Governance.

“Citizens must only differ on principle as opposed to resorting to violent” Mr. Hichilema said

  1. Hingombe Hilede (HH) you are now the most irrelevant incompetent politician to ever grace Zambian politics. You are finished!

    • “Mr. Hichilema said without arresting the perpetrators of violence, citizens may resort to act in self defence”

      Don’t call for anarchy (HH) Kaponya. There exists a thin line between treason and freedom

    • Mr. Kudos please tell us why your Commander in Chief has failed to stop cadre violence which is so easy to do? How will incompetent Edgar solve much more complex problems like job creation?

    • Kudos; let us not look for one word out of context in HH s speach but also let us not encourage violence from any party supporter. What happened shows what type of party members the PF have.

    • This HH whatever happened to reforming our Justice Dept..you have forgotten about your fellow inmates….you are still are busy foool instead of instructing your MPs …learn from Odinga in Kenya. Making noise will take you nowhere.

    • Mr. Kudos what ever your real names are, your so called tourist President has no time to work only known to be visiting places he has never been, and giving speeches which are not head like a toddler learning to talk.

  2. FOUR people have sustained injuries in a fight which ensued at a drinking spree at Chambulumina area in Lusaka West on Wednesday, 20th September, 2017 around 16:00hrs.

    Police Spokesperson Esther Mwaata Katongo told Mwebantu in a statement that the couple identified as Agness Laima Ndhlovu aged 52 and her husband Emmanuel Ndhlovu aged 54 sustained swollen faces.

    Those drunkard United Po** N** deserved everything they got

    • The supreme leader was elected by pangas for the PF presidency at mulungushi and some people still doubt who is the architect of political violence in zambia. After Sata’s death the PF turned Zambia into a war zone as they hacked, shot and beat each other to hell. Have we forgotten so soon? These fellows are savages.Even the police are scared of them and their supreme leader for the sake of their jobs.

  3. Those calls will continue to fall on deaf ears. Remember, the Supreme leader of violence is the right-hand man of the President. This Supreme Leader almost killed Kavindele’s son at some hotel in Lusaka. The Supreme Leader of violence also caused havoc at Heroes Stadium in full view of his boss. As long as the Supreme Leader of violence remains in his position, the calls for the arrest of perpetrators of violence to be arrested will never come to fruition.

  4. The only reason for such fights is that one camp does not want the other camp to campaign. Each does not want the others’ voice to be heard. But it should not be like this. This is a democracy mwebantu.The people you are fighting over are already rich. Some are enjoying the comfort of a New York Hotel

  5. This matter should not be taken as a joke. The police must bring the culprits to book if they are going to continue enjoying trust from the public. What worries the public and those of us who do not take sides is that Cadres appear to be above the Law and are being shielded by the police.

    We need strong statements from IG and the President so as to assure us of public safety. Without this kind of approach, we shall leave our children and grand children butcherying each other.

    PF and UPND must start a serious process of living side by side together and the plight of Laima/Njobvu offers a great opportunity for peaceful coexistence.

    Otherwise there is a serious pending political risk which makes investors averse.

    • Wonder what kind of leaders we have in PF. A fellow Zambian was almost killed in the name of belonging to an opposition and some people are busy posting rubbish. I think your time is certainly coming to pay for all this mess happenning now. No government stays forever and thats the fact!

  6. Its a pity our country is full of people who don’t reason and the sad thing is that they are now computer literate and can post any unreasonable comment as they desire. What is wrong with HH’s statement? Each and every reasonable person across party lines must welcome such progressive statements.

    • “Mr. Hichilema said without arresting the perpetrators of violence, citizens may resort to act in self defence, a situation that would bring anarchy in the country.”That statement is indeed very wrong. A wise man shall use tactical reasoning, not fueling fragile minds.

  7. Kiki hh trying hard to be relevant when no one is taking him serious. This guy is really dull to fail to read the situ on the ground. Hh open your eyes and ears 2021 will be another loss for you. Rule of law and human rights seems to be the only things he has learned from mukobeko. You are the only one failing to abide by them the rest of Zambians has no issues with that. Just step down for other people who can win for upnd.

    • What does winning of election has to do with the issue at hand? This is the problem we have now in Zambia. Thinking of election now when you are literally not doing anything for the people is useless. PF must work to instead of focusing on fighting HH. You fight him because you know he giving you headaches in terms of popularity.

  8. As long as Lungu and PF’s current crop of leadership remains in power, political violence and lawlessness will remain in our midst. These plunderers do not mean well for our country. PF is a fake government. They are simply a bunch of criminals. This fire truck scandal should give us a leverage as citizens to demand the resignation of president Lungu for failing to tun the affairs of our country diligently.

  9. Trump vs Kim=Dotard vs madman respectively. Trump called the leader of NK as ‘madman’ in contrast, Kim called Trump as ‘Dotard’. These are powerful terminologies (Dotard means an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile) while (madman means an extremely foolish or reckless person).

  10. I don’t belong to UPND but it is shocking at the number of fo0ls on this forum insulting HH for simply calling for unity and the arrest of the known thugs.

  11. In Itezh Tezhi people were beaten and killed by UPNDonkeys and he kept quiet. Actually encouraged that. Ati self defence what kind of thinking is this as a leader. Others were displaced from their own houses for fear of being killed by UPNdonkeys. What a f.ool of a leader.

  12. Shut up and please go away! You are the leader of the disloyalty. After several months that is when you are saying something? Who can take you serious? You even denied that Namwala incidents never happened together your Nevers boy! Zambia is better without you and UPND party of ignorant.

  13. The upnd thugs always are being outweighed by PF thugs and they complain including hh.if one is quiet and maintain peace even if one support any political party in no way can attract beatings from cadres.cadres are cadres .

  14. Sakwiba could have been a better president! He was Vice President to late Mazoka. But when he was about to take over he was told, “You are not Tonga so you can’t be president!” So a handpicked Tonga got the presidency and he has lost five consecutive elections because he will never have enough Tongas to win.

    • Why is it that only Bemba people are against HH what is the problem. Damn bemba people. Your job is to cause anarchy in the country. Hate is your food even if you are discussing things it’s all violent gestures and wanting to fight. When we visit Zambia we are told to be careful of baka bolala and who are they. Them PF. Let’s unite tribalists

  16. Fellow country men and women let’s learn to accommodate divergent views and above all lets respect our elderly people regardless of our political affiliation. Let’s embrace love and unity and that’s the only way our country Zambian will move forward. May the Almighty God bless Zambia, all its people and all those in Authority.

  17. Kudos’ break out of hate mouth diarrhoea will choke him to death, call an ambulance from Chainama Hospital before his funeral.

  18. we are debating fire trucks and the man is busy with cadres… seriously what do people see in this clueless human being!

  19. Ala aba ba under5 baletinako ba Lesa. Ba Lesa nga ba fulwa balasenda mumusango wamusebanya.

    The under5 boy always speaks with a double tongue. He can cheat his U.PNDonkeys but not us, and certainly NOT the creator!

  20. GBM is there to win votes for some but he doesn’t know it! Also, he is there to cover up the tag, again, he doesn’t know it! Also, the “tag” thinks the people from the North think like “them” when they see a “GBM” they would vote for him 100% like others do but the North doesn’t think like that! They are independent, and they see substance in a person before they vote for him! Got it #23.1?

  21. The burning of some places is still fresh in some victims”s mind, people can do can anything to avenge, Ba upnd be extra careful in shot I’m saying keep a low profile.
