New Labour Party Leader Fresher Siwale spent his second night in police custody on Wednesday after he was picked up by police on Monday.

Mr Siwale who along with People’s Party President Mike Mulongoti have launched a campaign questioning the nationality and identity of President Edgar Lungu was arrested picked up at his Chelstone home on Monday.

Heavily armed police officers stormed Mr Siwale’s house with a search warrant to search for a National Registration Card (NRC) which is believed to belong to the “real” Edgar Lungu.

It was not clear whether the NRC was found at Mr Siwale’s house after the search but he was immediately taken to undisclosed police station for further questioning.

From Monday, no one including his immediate family members where aware of his exact whereabouts as Police did not disclose where they were holding the opposition leader.

But on Wednesday afternoon, Mr Mulongoti managed to track Mr Siwale at Chilenje Police Station in Lusaka after going round almost all the police stations across the city.

Mr Mulongoti liased with the Officer in Charge who confirmed that Mr Siwale had not been charged yet.

When reached for a comment, Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said the Police is not issuing any statement on the matter at this stage.

And Mr Mulongoti has stated that he is not aware that the police are after him.

He said there is no need for the police to launch a man haunt on him as he is readily available.

Mr Mulongoti said he does not under why the police had to storm his office and Mr Siwale’s house looking for an NRC as if the duo was Mr . Lungu’s guardians.

He stated that the police should go ahead and charge Mr Siwale so that they could have their day in court.

“We have been waiting for this. We would just like the police to quickly go ahead and charge Mr Siwale and myself if they have anything against us and allow us to appear in court where all the evidence we have will be presented,” Mr Mulongoti said.

  1. Struggle on galant son of Zambia… yours is not a fight in vein you will be rewarded when the masses realise how a fraudster who has destroyed our once lovely country managed to F.OOL everyone in the name of being humble…

    • Keep him in jail then deport Siwale to Liberia after! These mumbwes don’t care about the country, they are self serving anarchists.

    • Lungu is now panicking because as at now he his a treason suspect. He know very well that any change of government even leadership in PF means he will thrown to the wolves. He his so DULL to think this will die out ….

    • Naiwe wine twalakukonka, we will as well apprehend you, you think you are clever. Just wait we are coming for you.

    • Imagine if Obama had arrested Trump after he questioned his nationality!

      I’m slowly starting to believe Mulongoti & Siwale after seeing Lungu’s response. Lungu can’t dialogue without abuse of police.

      One day the same police will refuse to carry out your dirty jobs. Remember in the last days of UNIP when police refused to cancel MMD rallies on behalf of KK?

      Achimwene, just provide evidence instead of using brutality.

    • How legal is this? How can you detain a person for 48hours without charge,in 2018??? The law is supposed to be fair…this is not fair. The police need to investigate whatever crime first before picking up a person!

    • Are Zambians not embarrassed to have Jona as President?

      Have you heard him talk? Even an empty tin makes better noise.

      Enough is surely enough!

    • Just imagine if the Post Newspaper was still around with this lazy coward as President who can’t defend himself. ..oh my …he would have murdered someone using State Security. He has refused to respond yet arresting people.

    • @Nubian Princess
      When Ayoub Mustafa becomes a president one day, don’t complain.

      Lebanese (Ziko ni yanu, Ndalama ni watu) also have NRCs & were born in Zambia & went to Zambian schools. We need to protect the highest office in the land from abuse by foreigners.

      KK, a foreigner is responsible for taking Zambia 27 years backwards as he started copying leadership style from his home country, Malawian dictator Kamuzu Banda. Lungu’s dictatorial tendencies, abuse of police, illegal detentions are Malawian by nature.

    • Foreigners have infiltrated our ranks. They are now arresting and killing us, we the real citizens of Zambia.

    • @Nubian Princess, how will your family members feel if you are deported to Somalia as your name suggests that you are a lighter black and deserves to be amongst the likes of yours in Somaliland.

    • Attention seeking he knows if he doesn’t talk about Lungu no one will listen to him…i dont like PF but with these kind of politicians PF will be ruling Zambia for a very long time

    • 1. Lungu is a Miracle baby born from both Eliza Jere and Zanalesi Zulu,
      2. Lungu was born at a Whites-Only Ndola Central Hospital.
      3. As an adult Lungu is a unique man who has not had a funeral, wedding or graduation ceremony of any relative. Very, very strange.
      4. Lungu has no real relatives besides Tasila & his immediate family. No real uncles, aunties, cousins, etc.

      Mulongoti & Siwale have a point which only Lungu himself can explain.

      Alot of Zambian diasporans in RSA are being dispossessed of their legally obtained RSA IDs at the borders. Imwe that’s when you’re busy kissing foreigners bu.mz

  2. SEEMS MR MULONGOTI IS STANDING SOLID GROUND. HE HAS THE TRUTH WITH HIM. REMEMBER THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE.

    • why should the POLICE search and arrest siwale if that was not true. These allegations are not new in the history of Zambia regarding the nationality of presidents but how the current commander in chief has reacted leaves more dust to stay around. There is always a way of handling such issues if you are innocent than use the POlice

    • Chulu, in the past the allegations were based on the issue of parentage. Banda did not hide where his parents where born neither did Kaunda. Chiluba’s history was know so was Mwanawasa. The fact of the matter is that everyone who has come out to defend Lungu starts at knowing him at Mukuba Secondary school. None seem to have know him in primary school. None played with him in Chimwemwe. The other gap is that after secondary school Lungu went to national service no one has come out that i was at this national service camp with him. Equally most people don’t know that Lungu tried to join Zambia army and was discharged. He suddenly appears at UNZA. He does not know that Edga Changwa Lungu was partner in a law firm in Livingstone. The is no smoke without fire….

    • Mr. Siwale’s looks authentic man. I start to get confused.
      Us Zambians are naive, these 2 gentlemen might be talking about real stuff.

  3. Mulongoti, Mulongoti what are you trying prove? Why then did you campaign for President Lungu if you have reservations about him? What has changed? Is it because the appointment you desperately expected never came your way? Leave President Lungu alone and give him space to work and develop our country. You guys had your time and you wasted it bad kind. You cant just believe your eyes that President Lungu is so focused and transforming Zambia for the delight of every citizen, mwanya mwembushi mwe. Viva ECL, Viva PF.

    • Malinso walipena! Lungu is developing which country iwee kolwe. To you all these taxes is development. It is shocking that we still have id1ots who can still support mad people.

    • YOUR FRIENDS ARE WINNING BY-ELECTIONS, IMWE BUSY UKU LAKONKA UMUNTU PA MATOKO ATI MWINA MALAWI!! WHERE WERE YOU ALL THESE YEARS.

  4. Let him tell the nation how he obtained that nrc. There was a time an officer from the registration office connived with a postal clerk by forging an NRC which they later used to receive money sent to some woman by her son. The two were eventually traced and imprisoned. So it’s easy to forge an NRC especially that the civil service is infiltrated by Upnd sympathizers. Like it or not this can happen and is happening.

    • I am also wondering why Mr. Siwale is keeping somebody else’s NRC, and why he did not bring this up when ECL was Minister of Defense.

  5. We have too many adult f00ls in Zambia. Just talking total rabbish like street kids who smoke petrol. Mulongoti and Siwale are just ba.st.ards

    • if Mulongoti and Siwale are talking rubbish why arrest Siwale? It is his democratic right to ask about the president s nationality and it is the president s right as well to sue Siwale and Mulongoti for evidence on slander. why arrest him over that, this is the sort of behaviour that is making this matter very suspicious.

  6. The weak lazy coward Edgar is panicking…if Trump was Zambian he wouldnt been arrested if the lazy Lungu …Obama was challenged he pubished everything its not good enough saying I went to so and so school and calling others mad men when you are acting like one.

    • @ Jay jay,
      We have hears that stup1dity and nonsense from your camp a trillion times and to be honest, no one gives it damn sh1t! Please tell your HH that is a failure thats why you blind followers of the worst Opposition leader in history are languishing in poverty when your friends are moving on. Remain dreaming whilst we make hare whilst the sun shines.

  7. This Lungu nationality saga is going to end up badly. It’s quite obvious that the crooked debarred lawyer is a fraud and actually not a Zambia . I hear too the real Edger Chagwa Lungu was murdered by an unknown person, now we have a real suspect whose motive has also materialized.

  8. THE MAN WAS FOUND WITH DOCTORED (FAKE) DOCUMENTS LIKE NRC OR PASSPORT WITH THE HEAD OF THE PRESIDENT INSERTED. THIS IS A FRAUD.
    IT’S AS CRIMINAL AS BEING FOUND WITH LARGE SUMS OF MONEY OR TRYING TO DIPOSIT LARGE SUMS OF MONEY INTO THE BANK WITHOUT INVOICES.

    • Luapula Premier is it an offence to ”DIPOSIT (sic) LARGE SUMS OF MONEY INTO THE BANK WITHOUT INVOICES.” Which act is that!

  9. Mulongoti and his friend siwale will soon dance pelete! They have forgotten that they are dealing with one of the most intelligent lawyers Zambia has ever produced.

    • The most intelligent lawyer Zambia has ever produced was in fact debarred from practicing and had his licence revoked by LAZ. Which intelligent lawyer are you talking about Mr Habanjovu? You must be on sycophant overdose.

    • He’s funders will go Scott free while he rots in jail. Because of bitterness some people think this Siwale is some kind of a super hero. Just wait for the whole plot to unravel.

  10. Take them to court so that we hear and see the evidence for ourselves. A person must be charged within 48 hrs. what are they waiting for? The one to give instructions is in Angola? The truth will finally come out, go ahead charge them and take them to court, let game begin.

  11. Habanjovu. ECL is extraordinary like you say. How people have fought him and how many you cant understand. If this is Siwales deart it should be Mulongotis dearth nabaishamika.

  12. @MALOZA

    TRUMPS MAD ARGUMENTS WERE BASED ON TRUE AND AUTHONTICATED DOCUMENTS FROM OBAMAS BIRTH PLACE IN HAWAII. HE NEVER USED FALSE DOCUMENTS.
    POLICE DID NOT FIND ANY DOC ON MULONGOTI, HE NEVER KEPT ANY EXCEPT THE BOOK- HE WAS CLEVER.

  13. In this day of so much happening around the net all kinds of stuff, documents, etc, can be procured, can be created to look like the real thing. So people must not be excited with purported ‘evidence’ of the existence of documents, paraphernalia etc.

    • ILLUSIONAL SHARON, CLAP UP THIS IS NOT ON HH. THERE ARE A FEW INTELLIGENT BLOGGERS WHO STICK TO THE THEME BEING DISCUSSED AND YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM. THIS TOPIC IS TOO INTELLIGENT FOR YOU.

    • Excuse her she is still itching …these Kaponyas PF is sending to our embassies leave their wives like Sharon at home and move elsewhere!!

  14. SIWALE SUPPOSE IF WE SHOWED YOU PICTURES OF LUNGU AT MUKUBA WITH HIS SCHOOL MATES WHAT WILL YOU SAY ABOUT EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND OF EDGAR LUNGU

    SUPPOSE WE SHOWED YOU PICTURES OF BABY LUNGU SITED WITH HIS RELATIVES WHAT WILL BE YOUR ARGUMENTS AND MULONGOTI

    THERE IS ENOUGH PROOF TO SHOW THE CHILD AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AT MUKUBA WITH BLACK AND WHITE PICTURES OF OLD SMALL TALLISH LUNGU CLEARLY IDENTIFIED

    • You are missing point. At what point did that baby Jonathan become Edgar Lungu at Mukula?

      If you have the baby show us the parents. What are their names right now your humble baby has two mothers from two village

    • By the way all you have said does not make anyone a Zambian. And what has it hit go do with you why are you showing us and not the owner of the pictures

  15. There are only two questions I have.
    1. Why did Mulongoti and Msoni campaign for ECL when they had the evidence that he was not Zambian?
    2. Why are so many UPND losers not trekking to Petauke to verify the origins of this man who has shamed them twice?
    Mbasela
    3. Who is the father to this loser HH people are campaigning for?

  16. # [email protected] Your demand is baseless i went to primary with ECL i have even photos. for him to respond it is a waste of space, mark my words. when time comes you will be ashamed. You hate will kill you

  17. Childish talking to the former Ivory Coast coach: “Coach, you could have won this game, you were robbed!”
    Coach, “We created a lot of chances but we lost. Who robbed us?”
    Childish, “By the referee!” Coach, “How?” Childish, “He should have sent out one or two players who roughed up Gervinho but only gave you a penalty! You must report the referee to the UN!”
    Coach, “To FIFA, you mean?” Childish, “No! to the UN! As a soccer fun and future Zambian president I will write the UN on your behalf!”
    Coach, “Childish, that is childish!”

    • Pilato has been CRYSTAL clear. I am away because of PF thugs are threatening my life. Abantu belekutinya elo ube ndwii

  18. Is this constitutional? Who can be detained for accusing someone of being a foreigner? That is a civil case not one for the police

  19. Chiluba was called names and foreigner mwanawasa cabbage sata cobra and banda nyama soya they never arrested anybody manje iyee boma awe sure Kaya God help us you are our only hope

  20. Since this issue surfaced, i didnt take it seriously and i had to ask my father, a malawian about it,Facts are both Lungu parents were malawians, they came and were friends with my grandparents, Lungu was born in zambia and my Dad said due to the parents clause in the constitution he wasnt eligible to stand as president.

  21. @Hamaimbo

    Young man, Mulongoti is not in detention. Why?
    Siwale was arrested and he is now in detention because after the search at his house, police found fake documents, NRC, passport etc with fake numbers. Where did he get them from? This is criminality and serious.

    • So you are saying its alright to be detained without charge for 48 hours because police found fake documents in your possession?
      Only in a banana republic.

  22. Even one year. Siwale had committed s criminal offence. He will soil in his pants like someone l won’t mention here.

  23. Cage the fo0l and give him good beating in jail.arrest ka Mulongoti too.we dont need f0ols in society.elections are showing that Zambians are behind PF.so if Mulongoti and Siwale think Zambians with sympathise with them,they better ask HH who spent more than 120 days at Mukobeko as we enjoyed life outside peacefully!!HH ended up insulting Zambians for not protesting against Govnt while he was jail last year!!
    REWARDS OF SIN IS DEATH-SO MULONGOTI AND SIWALE MUST DANCE TO THEIR TUNE!!

  24. Just release this *****, the two of them have no brains, u r giving them undeserved publicity. We all know they have list it, we all came from somewhere and eventually become Zambian, we were one africa worse malawi zambia Zimbabwe, somehow we belong in all these 3 countries

  25. If any ***** steals my NRC or passport, I would wish him the same fate that has befallen Siwale. In the mid – 1990s, some *****s connived with other *****s at the Department of National Registration to produce an NRC with my details and then use it in their attempt to cash a stolen cheque to Indian shop owners at Kamwala Shopping Centre. Fortunately, the Indian shop owner was suspicious and reported the matter to the police, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of these identity thieves. I am therefore totally shocked that some morons here should sympathize with Siwale’s theft of ECL’s NRC! Do these morons fully understand the gravity of this offense?

  26. Questioning President Lungu’s Nationality is fake.
    Let’s grow as country yesterday it was Kaunda,Chiluba and today it is Lungu.

  27. Go arrest criminals please. They are all over the country now. You are just disturbing innocent people. Go and do the work where the work is. Just as Winter said that he believes that Edgar Lungu is a Zambian but he does not think arresting Siwale is necessary. Very nauseating, the levels what Zambia has become

  28. Arresting opposition members is now the order of the day. Can somebody stop this rot please. For clarity I am full time PF

  29. Who is a Zambian?

    How many are Zambians?

    Mind you, if you will be honest with yourself and clear the political cloud and just be factual (my appeal to you) any one born in the 70 & early 80s we are the FIRST generation Zambians. True or false, please be honest with yourself.

    All our parents came from the federation of Nyasaland and Rhodesia. We were one big Country. This is why we have Baby Shona as well all over Chongwe, they are not Zimbabweans they just got caught in the other side of the fence when wall was built.

    It’s funny how, we are choosing to accept the Geographical lines of our former members when we choose to BUT clearly do not want to accept the Barotse lines.

    This is a non political post, I belong to neither party. For precedence sake, let’s find other…

  30. Who is a Zambian?

    How many are Zambian?

    This is a non political post, I belong to neither party. For precedence sake, let’s find other tactics of impeachment not this. As long as you are an 80 or 70s Baby, my and your parents, are or were Rhodesianstill.

    I know umo na chimu pita and will pull out all smart wording to dispel this but, as long as you were born after 1964 or if your parents are not one of these 100% indigenous tribes. Munthu wandi….. you will trace yourself to Zaire, Tanganyika Zimbabwe etc etc by the way did you know that there are Tongas in Zimbabwe?

  31. Fresher Siwale? That’s what? Is he Zambian? No, of course not. I have irrefutable proof that Siwale is not his real name, his registration card is forged. His real name is Freshman Tshwete, a South African conman hired by Maimane last year to discredit the government of Zambia. He sneaked in while Maimane was deported. He was given intensive training in one or two Zambian languages and some indigenous dishes like nchunga, kapenta, cibwabwa and kalembula. I went with him to the same primary school in Eastern Cape where he failed his matric while his twin sister went on to become a successful Professor of Economics. Their parents died 18 years ago and they went to the same primary school with my mother in 1953 in a squatter township school in eastern cape.
    He is locked up at Chilenje…

  32. …….cont
    He is locked up at Chilenje police? Well, keep him there until he produces evidence of his nationality, I have it but I will not help the imposter to be deported, first let him dance pelete!

  33. Spala lilo and Jay Jay, do you think my true story is fake lies? But ask yourself why you insist that only fake lies from upndeez and your clan ( which is one and the same thing) are true.
    As you say the burden of proof lies on the accused, ask the fake Siwale to produce proof that I am wrong, then I will have him released from police cells without further delay, and deported!!

  34. Tell me something else colleagues, can’t we find a crime on some royal lownesses, would be nice to lock him up.
    Mulongoti is asking to be locked up too? Kikikikiki…..he reminds of that Minister of Misinformation for Saddam Hussein during the invasion of Iraq, the Americans were not interested in him and let him free despite pleading to be arrested, like Mulongoti!! Mike do you remember Chemical Ali?
    Mike I also get amused with the shape of your nose, sure you Zambian?

  35. Meanwhile let President Lungu rule Zambia, we will tackle his nationality in 2021.
    And why not? According to upndeez guided by that son of southern soil h.h only tonga for president, none of Zambia’s previous 5 Presidents were Zambian but we let them complete their mandate given to them by the same Zambian people. I am not aware that President Kaunda and others are in court for ruling Zambia as “foreigners”.
    This is getting out of hand, can we please declare a state of threatened emergency again, I have some suggestions whom I want to send to Mukobeko! Dont get me wrong and shiver, I mean the fake Fresher Siwale!

  36. This citizenship debate is a non-starter! Perpetuating this debate will only confirm that Zambians are not a serious lot! You were supposed to ask these questions before voting! This is part of the DUE DILIGENCE a serious people do before choosing leaders! It is a fact that Zambians don’t know how to choose leaders! Candidates aspiring to the highest office in the land must undergo a rigorous vetting process! They must be paraded and asked questions by the citizens. When you hear some candidates not showing up for presidential debates, in civilized nations that is interpreted as bad sign on that candidate. They could be a fraud and hiding something! Alas, in Zambia, it’s the other way round. You just have to belong to my tribe and I’ll vote for you whether competent or not! People get…

  37. People get the leaders they deserve! I don’t blame Chagwa! It’s the Zambians to blame! In Zambia, foreigners rule!

  38. ….It worked well for h.h, you can the permanent state of hallucination, including telling the Lozi people that if they LOVE him then they should HATE easterners, no two ways. You want to be led by h.h?

  39. As for Fresher Siwale being held allegedly without charge, the police routinely pick up mad people and take them to Chainama where some are locked up in handcuffs, never heard anyone speak for them, why Siwale now? Is he employed by upndeez?

    • Hasn’t this guy got a lawyer and why hasn’t the usual political convoy of GBM, Nevers Mumba etc gone to offer him solidarity? He looks to be a loner.

    • This Fresher Siwale chap has been like that since his childhood in Luanshya. Lived on lies a lot to achieve his ambitions. The chap has just been sponsored.

  40. @Capable 5.1 my “Habeas Corpus” comment has nothing to do with support (or lack thereof) for Siwale. Any nation of laws must charge a suspect within a given time or release him. All I said. How did that phrase trigger your response???
