PF Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili was on Tuesday afternoon chased away from Kabushi constituency in Ndola as he attempted to tour the gutted Kapalala Market.

Mr Kambwili who was in the company of National Democratic Congress General Secretary Mwenya Musenge was chased by Kabushi Member of Parliament Bowman Lusambo who rushed to the market when word went round that Mr Kambwili was in the constituency.

Mr Lusambo arrived at Kapalala Market with a horde of supporters comprising mainly youths from the constituency and demanded to have Mr Kambwili and his delegation vacate the area.

Mr Kambwili swiftly left the Market, abandoning his plans of addressing the Marketeers who are still waiting on government to fulfil its promise to reconstruct their gutted market.

And addressing Journalists afterwards, Mr Kambwili described Mr Lusambo as childish.

He said it is unthinkable that as a lawmaker, he could be denied a chance to visit any part of the country.

“Bowman is very childish. He sent those boys to come and beat me up but when they arrived they just said, “boss, we have been sent to beat you but we can’t do it because you are our boss,” and I left peacefully,” Mr Kambwili narrated.

“This kind of politics are unfortunate. I was in Kapalala to meet the poor women whose stalls have been burnt and this government has failed to honour its promise to reconstruct the market. Bowman should be ashamed of himself,” he said.

Mr Kambwili said, “Bowman and Edgar Lungu have been to my constituency and toured all the markets there and no one stopped them. Now they are up in arms when they hear that Kambwili is in their area. Bowman even abandoned where he was officiating at the Independence celebrations and rushed to Kabushi just to come and sort me out, fortunately, we left before any confusion could take place.”

Meanwhile, Mr Lusambo said Kabushi constituency is a no-go area for politicians with useless agendas.

“We know what he wanted to come and do here. He wanted to bring confusion. We are working very well with our people and he comes from nowhere to come and create confusion, that we shall not allow,” Mr Lusambo told his supporters.

    • Today marks the ‘Rise and Fall of the Zambian kwacha. By the end of next week, the kwacha will tumble, most likely @ 13.5 to a pound. This is all due to GRZ over spending and PF cohorts stealing and lack of direction. PF ministers would rather behave like Lusambo when on break from stealing than work for them Zambian people.

      God bless Zambia.

    • When we tell you that those National Day Of Prayer and Reconciliation are a laughable side show for you the docile masses you think its joke!!

    • My husband is a stay at home man. He’s the one who cooks. Am the boss. I can pay all you insulting mbroke ass men

    • Jeko, what hole did you crawl out of? please get back under it. most of us hire people to cook for us. we have earned the break. go ask your wife to cook. secondly other fathers are helping their kids with their home work at that time you were sending such useless stuff.

    • Neck-less is an MP with his own constituency. Neck-less should know that it is unethical to trespass over someone’s brief. This is like the Minister of Home Affairs touring the hospital to see whether drugs are available.
      Neck-less should grow up.

  1. With this kind of behavior he’s supposed to be PF Copperbelt Youth Chairman, not Minister. Ministers don’t behave like this.

    • On Independence Day Kambwili should be in Roan Constituency. What was he doing in Kabushi – I think Bowman did a good job, for that type of foolish behavior, you need a Bowman.

  2. Bowman is an ediot thug with a big mouth, I wonder how he managed to be a minister with that empty head.
    What does Jonathan hope to accomplish with thugs running a more important province.

    • I don’t think he is minister based on his brains,just take a good look at the cabinet and tell me how many people have brains in this cabinet…

    • That is why Lazy Lungu appointed him the selfsame reason Old Man Sata appointed BUFFOON CK…they are all stonethrowers!!

  3. Was this Round 2 of this unexciting contest?

    But Kambwili you like fighting too much. You are such a bully….where you really expecting red carpet treatment in masala? In what capacity did you go there?

    You are useless indeed, you can’t even spill the beans on the most corrupt individuals….if you are not careful, cadre Lusambo will spill your guts. Lusambo is a real street boy, ask Kachingwe in case you have forgotten.

  4. And you think a normal functioning country some of these chaps would be appointed to government positions. Its very sad, very childish and totally useless. Instead of fighting poverty, the chaps are fighting themselves

  5. This is the mentality of the PF government with full support of their corrupt theif leader , lungu.

    This is denying the electorate a free and balanced opinion.

    PF politics of thugs and theives. They fail to curb poverty instead attack any one with opposing views to them….

  6. No neck-Kambwili reap what you sowed wecipubawe! In fact do not even give coverage to the fool. He wanted to use FBI and CIA, to close the ZWD. Ignore the foo,l and let Lusambo do to him what he was doing to other when he thought he was going to be in government forever. Go and find a neck somewhere by slimming down.

  7. Comment: This is useless instead of talking about issues that matters most they are there spitting nonsense ‘coz how does their internal differences concerns us, atase. Just find ways of employing unemployed youths in copper belt that’s it.

  8. ck has become u5 .

    i have no problems havin a Tonga at state house. but not u5

    if you think its ok to chase ck press RED

  9. Well done Honourable Bowman Lusambo. These useless politicians with paroachial agendas should be taught a lesson. Other Provincial Ministers in the country should emulate the C/B strong man.He is a no nonsense man.

    • @ Truth (LOL)

      And you are imbecile which other day was crapping about “rule of law” in Zambia?
      Can you decide if Plunderers Federation is criminal organisation or party in Government?
      By the way, do you know relevant provision of Penal Code which quantify your crapping as criminal offence?

  10. Ba chagwa Lungu, this Bowman Lusambo you are entertaining will ruin your political career and by the time you realized will be late. Anyway! Birds of the same feathers flock together. But as always said, our minister under the current PF regime have lost credibility as their behavior is like that of toddlers if not preschool going children.

  11. Ati:“Bowman is very childish. He sent those boys to come and beat me up but when they arrived they just said, “boss, we have been sent to beat you but we can’t do it because you are our boss,” and I left peacefully,” Mr Kambwili narrated.
    Ubufi. Just imagining the story. After all he swiftly left – meaning there was nothing of the sort – just cooking a story.

    • It doesnt matter where Kambwili is supposed to be anytime anywhere! What matters is the politicized day of prayer where you have demonised people who did not attend. Now there you have it just a day after prayers and reconciliation you find one bafoon sending cadres to the other to be beaten up. I would rather stay away from such prayers of pretence.

  12. Well done Hon.Bowman Lusambo for sorting out trouble maker Kambwili.all PF MPs and youths in our strongholds (6.5 provinces) must be on high alert to sort out trouble makers.
    Who told Kambwili that a gutted market can be reconstructed within 1 or 2 months?plus what was he ( CK) himself going to give those affected marketers?nothing apart from saying nonsense and calling PF officials names.HH AND KAMBWILI MUST STOP POLITICS OF PROVOCATION IF THEY ARE TO LIVE LONGER!!ONE CANT HAVE A SEA OF ENEMIES AND EXPECT TO LIVE A SAFE LIFE-NEVER!!!
    had Kambwili not ran away from that Kapalala market in Kabushi,those thugs could have taught him a big political lesson.CK must be asking Miles Sampa and HH who have been on a receiving end on copperbelt.PF youths there do not joke!!TODAY WAS INDEPENDENCE…

  13. Zambian politics are sinking lower by the second. So this is the calibre of members of parliament we have in Zambia? Some of these hooligans will one day become HE the president of the republic of Zambia !! Someone shout “independence “. Independence from who ? Even kids in pre school are aware of manners and they know how to respect each other and how to resolve conflict without clenching fists !!

    • We can’t blame them… you and I have allowed this. This is what happens to an unattended garden. What do you guys expect, you stay behind and shun voting, the kaponyas vote in their droves without understanding economic implications, then you wake up and start praying to God asking why? lol.. Bowman will be president and we shall kneel some more to pray.

  14. Good job! A small Mbwili has no reason to be in Ndola! The Small Mbwili lives in a glass house but has been stoning other houses! His behavior is no different from the Evil Party in Zambia called UPND.

  15. @NSCS: i 100% agree with you.many learned Zambians only make noise online in favour of the opposition and do not vote because its either they cant stand on long queues on polling day or they are busy with work locally and abroad!!its a major reason why the opposition parties are miles away from defeating PF (a party loved by the poor).if you watch on ZNBC TV how millions celebrated independence today in 6.5 provinces,you can easily conclude that PF will once more retain power in 2021 because its ever in contact with voters WHILE HH CONDUCTS PRESS CONFERENCIES IN LUSAKA WHICH ONLY END UP IN FRED M’MEMBE’S MAST -A MEDIUM NOT READ BY MAJORITY ZAMBIANS!!
    watch on znbc TV now and see how poor Zambians love ECL!!!

  16. Maybe Kambwili wanted to rebuild the market after meeting the women. …..otherwise why visit today?
    And the independence celebratuons were huge today. True Zambian youths and children were busy cheerfully dancing and celebrating. I don’t know about those in Dundumwezi and surrounding regions. One happy Zambian youth was heard remarking “maybe those in Dundumwezi are not Zambians, or do not want to be part of Zambia”. Coming after celebrating tribal ceremonies in Dundumwezi without inviting other Zambians. Now if the public sees them as non Zambians, who will vote for them in 2017? Awe ba mwisho, nimalilo chabe kuli ba under5.

  17. Hey,what. Watching television zambia is like seeing……. it makes my eyes see evil as it was during kaunda days when the slogan of wamuyaya became the rhythm of fools. It took courageous people in the likes of Mike mulongoti and others to halt the wamuyaya regime. I urge H.H, CK, Nervous Mumba, Milupi never to relent but keep on as GOD who Hears People’s cries will answer you to serve His people the way it happened in 1991.

  18. Shame on Lusambo venting all the Miles Sampa ECL reconciliation and meeting on poor Chimbwili. Lusambo shall Soon shutter like broken glass.

  19. Who told you a Christian does not get angry or let me say beat if annoyed .
    Am a Christian and I do clobber stupid people.
    It. Does not mean that a Christian must tolerate rubbish awe bane

  20. IN AN IDEAL SITUATION THIS CHARACTER IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE IN PARLIAMENT…………THIS UNEDUCATED KAPONYA IS A DANGER TO PF………!!!!!!!

  21. Bowman is the MP for Kabushi constituency. So Bwana CK was supposed to notify Bowman that in your territory for this business to show mannerism/
    etiquettes. You cannot enter into somebodys yard and you addressing the inhabitants without informing the owner of that yard. NO!!! In this case, CK is being provocative and seeking public sympathy at the same time.

    • Is the Freedom to go where you want not one of the reasons we wanted INDEPENDENCE ????

      What MARUBBISH! Do politicians OWN their constituencies or are they servants of the People? Are Zambians not allowed to move freely anywhere in their own country?

      THINK before you say such dull comments!

    • Freedom does not mean breaking laid down procedures and rules. That is why ZP demands notification when one wants to conduct any activity of political nature. Ndoleshafye is only right by bringing up his points. What if a scuffle involving supporters of both characters had broken out and people died, would you still call it freedom??? We all know Kambwili was kicked out of PF and he is trying to destabilise and discredit the party with such 1.di.o.tic acts. He also tried to incite civil servants unions to rise against the government over their salary increment but they flatly rebuffed his s.t.u.p.i.dity. Kambwili is at fault here, let’s call a spade a spade!!

  22. Lusambo is a thug day in day out. His been trying so hard pretending to be quiet and humble in suits but it hasn’t worked his back doing what he knows best violence and intimidation.
    Lusambo will never mature in his politics and in his mind.
    You can’t change the DNA of person like lusambo, that’s y we say even for lungu that he stole money from a widow during his days as a lawyer, no wonder his helping himself in state house again…

  23. You only get a permit from the police not a minister. Trying to defend lusambo is actually showing how uncivilized pf cadres and supporters are.

  24. Kambwili did well to leave immediately to avoid problems.Lusambo has got all the power at his disposal today. Let him enjoy it to the fullest while it lasts

  25. Bowman did well to chase him. Kabushi is not Roan constituency. In what capacity did Kambwili go to a constituency which he does not represent. Kambwili should realise that Bowman is Copperbelt minister which allows him to visit any market in any constituency on the Copperbelt with permission from anyone. Get it in your mind.

  26. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRETEND TO BE IN THE SAME BOAT WITH YOUR FELLOW PARTY LEADERS, BUT THEN YOU ARE SEEN TO BE PULLING THE BOAT TO OPPOSITE DIRECTION. DEFINITELY, ACTIVE MEN LIKE THE BOW MAN ONCE SEEN DOING WHAT DR KAMBWILI WANTED TO DO HE WILL POUNCE ON YOU, NO MATTER WHAT. DO NOT TALK ABOUT CHRISTIANITY WHEN SOME ONE IS SMEARING FAECES ON YOUR HEAD BWANA. EVEN JESUS CAN GET ANNOYED IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES.

  27. Kwena mu zambia mwaliba ubukopo. Bonse fye babili aba bali nefilubo. Mr ck shud know his bounderies. Mr lusambo being the minister must show courtesy when it comes to deal with people with opposing views. He shudn’t behave like abana ba ku black mountain. And don’t drag the name of our Lord into this petty issue. Read the bible my friends you will change for the better and you wil stop hate speech and you wil even love your enemies. Remember zambia is made up of 10 provinces we are all one people. And right now the president we know is ECL we must respect that. The presidents in a making are HH chipimo chanda chishimba musenge mulongoti milupi tayali mr ck etc etc.

  28. Wrong timing by KAMBWILI. You do not go and start talking rubbish on the day when we are supposed to be reflecting on the gains from the deeds of our fathers and how now we should add to that. You are just causing lots of trouble by purporting that you are doing it for the poor and yet you have a hidden agenda that I and many well meaning Zambians are able to see in you. There is a an organised way of doing things if you are a law maker. You wouldn’t want to have things haphazardly done if you were in Lusambo’s shoes neither. So sober up and stop causing confusion. WE WANT PEACE AROUND US!

  29. When democracy fails apply autocracy which is the language that this Kambwili man understands better. He is one man who can attribute his wrongs to the devil that he has never met in his life I suppose. This time around it is the Angel influencing him to talk to the marketeers. YOU HAVE NO SHAME!

  30. Not even in the days of Shaka did things like this happen…
    To top it up it’s independence day..
    Ba Bowman bupuba, bututu…bufontini mulekwata isoni. You are an adult that’s y u produce that white stuff from your manhood and have kids.
    What an embarrassment..

    • Truely i have believed that politics is a dirty gamej. Why doing that to each other as if its a tom and jerry catoons. Noone created pipo only God. So y chasing each other. Are they really christians?

    • It is not dirty because that is how politics is, it becomes dirty because clean people decide not to participate. Analogy for you – Get mud, put in a cup, out cup under running water, eventually it will all be clear clean drinkable water. Looks like it has been the opposite with Zambian politics because clean people are saying optics is dirty and shying away. We shall peperpetually be lamenting this until we decide to get involved. Zambia is your nation, I really can’t see why we can’t participate in elections.

  31. Oh you UPND CHAPS. Have you already forgotton what ur so called chi president did in Mongu.That was Childishness at its worst. Isnt that worse than what Bowman did so leave bowman alone you ………….. Have u also forgotten that your leadership supported the burning of property? Is that not worse than what Bowman did. So leave Bowman alone you heartless group.

  32. Shame on all of you who do not understand protocol.A normal, mature,grown up person,especially a politician like Ba Kambwili should know better.The only reason he did this would be to cause embarrassment to the area MP and the party,seeing there is an outstanding problem still to be sorted out..When you are not the representative of an area,you have to clear your visit with the relevant authority,whichever country you live in.So who is being childish here?Please Zambians,stop being used..think..just a little common reasoning….
