Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili had to abandon a television appearance on Monday night at the eleventh hour after reports emerged that PF youths were planning to attack the TV station during the programme.

Mr Kambwili was scheduled to feature on a political talk show “The Oxygen of Democracy” on Prime TV that 20:30 Hours and had even started preparing for his appearance when he received intelligence reports of an imminent attack.

The reports indicated that PF youths had planned to attack Mr. Kambwili’s vehicle as he made his way into Prime TV studios which is located in Kabangwe area.
The PF youths are said to have also planned to disrupt the show midway in an event that Mr. Kambwili had found a way of sneaking into the studio.

Police officers from Kabangwe Police Post even visited Prime TV had advised the TV station not to go ahead and host Mr. Kambwili saying the police might not be able to prevent the planned attacks.

Programme Host Kalani Muchima confirmed that the police toured the station minutes before the show was due to start and informed them to cancel the interview in order to prevent a possible attack on the station.

Mr Muchima expressed disappointment that Police could fail to provide security to people and property when they fully know who was planning the said attacks.

Last month, some PF cadres also attacked 5 FM studios in Lusaka where Mr Kambwili was due to feature on the “Burning Issue” programme and the station ended up featuring NDC Spokesman Eric Chanda who condemned the attacks.

The PF cadres have not been arrested and no known investigation by police has been launched in the matter that left vehicles and other property damaged.

  1. whether we like CK or not should not let us condone these bad seeds we are sowing in the nation. we may be having these thugs on our side today like they were for CK but every day is not the same. what is happening in this country is sickening to say the least. I just suppose these were opposition thugs who wanted to attack a ruling party official, would the police advise such a person not to go ahead. I don’t like CK because he was part of this monster creation but I should not deny him his rights to speak and express himself freely although he is part of the problem not the solution in my view.

    • Ati politics teyabana???? Bututu fye ubu nomba to accept such and start saying teyabana. Hack each other then you Baboons…..I don’t care anymore. What kind of people do you want to be

  2. This is the lungu and kapoyongo we talk about…….then one of the lying chandas from state house comes and say PF condemns violence…..

    CK , we are behind you, schedule in pre-recorded interviews to show this theif lungu that zambia does not belong to him……

    • We are not behind but together.The people run away when it gets tougher as it will happen to apf in 2020 December to 2021July

  3. Yes he created them….like the pitbull dogs that normally kill their masters, the youths may attack him. However violence is not something to be proud of. Again the language Kambwili is using against the president is a recipe for violence. Why can’t he articulate issues like a normal person?

  4. Is violence the answer, I reckon two wrongs shall never manufacture a right.
    Yes issues, but lets all deal with this nonsense before further lives are lost even within PF.

    If PF see this as a solution to deal with CK then we are yet to see the muscle of the ordinary Zambia.

    • Advise Kambwili that the language he is using against the Head of State is violence. So, why does he complain when it is reciprocated?

  5. Hammer the chap. I watched his video at UNZA Radio. What sort of a kaponya goes for an interview without bathing and not even putting on under wear.
    I could smell his bad breath.

  6. Why should CK let thugs damage the radio station and other properties possibly life? We know the PF is turmoil and the panic is evident. Ruphia did the same to Sata but never cement his desired outcome. It’s lungu alone just as it happened to Chiluba and Ruphia. The small rats dispense and leave KOSWE mumpoto lungu on his own.

  7. Zambia Police is the only Police in the world that cannot face perpetrators of violence but instead siding with thrm. How can we have a police service threatening democracy and they fold their arms in khaki and green uniforms when PF cadres are destructing people’s freedom of speech? What the police did on Kambwili’s program is a clear indication that they are very unprofesdional, do not understand their job and I think Zambia Police ranks the lowest in the world very very poor service in the all world. Shame!!

  8. Kamwili is always ATTACKING ECL knowing that he wont respond. Others also want to attack you in a different manner and since you can respond why not do just that. You cannot daily be on “news” attacking the same fellow and those covering you consider it as said. Those that cannot see beyond their noses will not see the anger in you for the man on the receiving end. When you were unable to care for yourself the Boma cared for you and now when called to the Police you cry loudest that they want to poison you, rubbish. By the way what Dr. are you, doctor of insults or what?
