IBA condemns threats of violence against Power FM radio in Kabwe and Radio Maria in Chipata

1. Useless!

   • In whose name are these thugs doing this?
     Who do they claim kambwili is insulting?
     You guessed it PF and Edgar.
     So lungu being the head of PF and president of Zambia must stand up and condemn violence and make it clear that you cannot harm intimidate or insult people in his name!
     That is what leaders with integrity do they stand up for what is right and not sit and condone what is very wrong.

   • In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit.

   • That Josephine answers like Sunday Chanda. Mocking.
     Why is she not demanding that Police get clearance from PF to arrest the thugs whom they know very well?

   • “The Authority has urged all political party sympathisers to follow the laid down procedures of registering their grievances about any broadcast material they find aggrieving as opposed to engaging in violence” is a statement half made. If you add that media houses should be responsible enough to moderate on highly rhetorical politians on all sides, the better for Zambia. Don’t misfire here direct the message to party leaders not sympathizers.
     You can’t say media houses don’t have the responsibility to stop insults, falsehood and uncensored language from people who aspire to lead us.
     CK positions himself not to be interrupted or for lack of a better term controlled on a interview panel.
     Moderation is key here.
     Definition: moderation means,
     the avoidance of excess or extremes,…

   • …especially in one’s behaviour or political opinions.
     E.g. “I urged the CK to show moderation”
     synonyms: self-restraint, restraint, self-control, self-discipline; moderateness, temperateness, temperance, abstemiousness, non-indulgence, leniency, fairness.
     IBA you are by and large on the right track meaning, I have always applauded your actions. The huge task for you is the lack of ethics by these new media houses. The interest here is Zambia. Hold sensitization meetings, seminars and refresher courses for media houses. You can’t afford to have brick and mortar media institutions behave like social media which operates in cyberspace. Don’t fail us. Failure in this case can come right at the issuance of licenses. Do proper audit. Political party leaders do also have a job to do…

   • …especially in one’s behaviour or political opinions.

     IBA you are by and large on the right track meaning, I have always applauded your Engage your cadres. My interest here is my Zambia. I won’t forgive you if or when Zambia bleeds.
     I don’t see this ending unless the political podium is infiltrated by sanitized policy packed messages opposed to sensational rhetoric packed with insults especially from NDC. Insults and character bruising characterize the birtherism of the NDC as a party.
     LET’S BEHAVE RESPONSIBLY, PEOPLE.

   • Useless thorn….

     How is condemning stealing and demanding accountability insulting to lungu ?????

   • Senseless spaka….

     Mwakulapokwafye kanshi.

     And Stop whining.

   • S.e.n.s.e.less spaka….

     Mwakulapokwafye kanshi.

     And Stop whining.

2. Remarkable for IBA to condemn those barbaric acts! I hope someone does not lose their job at IBA

   • Expresses sadness, condemns, urges, warns.

     All words of no action.

     It’s just talk to quell the docile and gullible people whilst they sit and do nothing.

3. Thats PFoools for you, thugs, theives dander heads drunks and Kaponya`s, nothing good about these morons or id!ots…. the best they do is destroy the country and steal. Their tu ma leaders are visionless drunks

4. IBA it’s another pf rubber stamp toothless organization always told what to do and what to say by pf.

5. This is a harbinger of things to come, violence begets violence. Civil wars and political atrocities don’t start at once, they are a cumulation of small unchecked acts of discourse. When PF thugs threatened the life Chishimba Kambwili, PF released empty statements of condemnation. A month later, the thugs go a step further and commit an actual act of violence. What has PF done released more empty statements? Either someone is egging these thugs on, or they don’t respect the PF authority.

6. In as much as there is freedom of expression either on radio ststions, social media or news papers, but should we allow a situation where people should be insulting or using vurgal language on the radio stations. I am sure if media houses have such interviews are first programmed, or recorded and played so that content is edited in the presence of the one who would be airing.

   • If we did this then all we’d have left is PF mouth pieces just like ZNBC.

     Best we can do is warn the interviewee that a few more curse words and we’ll have to stop the broadcast.

     Let people air their grievances but without cursing.

   • I am lost for reason ……

     how is condeming stealing and demanding accountability insulting to lungu ???

   • Don’t mind this sikopoless spaka like lito…
     He is a wasted seed.

7. Ck and others are calling lungu a corrupt theif……..let lungu deny this and sue them for defermation if he is not a corrupt theif

   Chapwa.

   What is he afraid of ?

   • Mwakulapokwafye kanshi.
     Watch this space.

8. IBA, should be the least to talk about Media Freedoms.
   This is one agency the PF government is using to fix independent media houses

   Please just get your salary and allowances.
