United Party for National Development (UPND) National Chairperson Mutale Nalumango has said that the party has unearthed a scheme in which the Patriotic Front (PF) wants to disrupt President Edgar Lungu’s trip to Southern Province and implicate Hakainde Hichilema.
Ms Nalumango said that the party is aware of a well-hatched scheme in which PF has lined up a number of its violent cadres to boo Mr. Lungu as he visits Southern Province tomorrow.
During a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday, Ms. Nalumango charged that notorious PF cadres, Eddy Gowa aka ‘America 1’, deputy PF national mobilization chairperson Bizwell Mutale and former Siavonga District Commissioner (DC) Brave Mweetwa are the people who have been tasked with executing the dirty work.
“We have concerns from the information that has come through from their (PF) camp, particularly from Chikuni radio where PF officials and cadres went and issued a warning that the so-called booing that happened in Monze would not be allowed this time around. They issued a stern warning to the people of Monze. We have names that have come to our attention like Bizwell Mutale, who is probably meeting some of the chiefs in Southern Province.”
“We are aware that former Siavonga DC Brave Mweetwa and a guy of Mozambiquan origin called Eddie Gowa commonly known as ‘America 1’ are involved. These are some of the people hired to cause confusion and blame it on HH and the UPND,” she charged.
Ms. Nalumango said President Lungu’s desperate attempts to ensure that Mr Hichilema is not on the 2021 ballot has led to him devising numerous schemes with the intent of imprisoning him.
“We are aware that President Lungu wants to arrest president Hichilema because he doesn’t want to see his name on the ballot paper come 2021. Lungu also intends to buy some councilors to create by-elections.
“We aware that PF thugs will be present in Monze and Maala along the route of President Lungu and his entourage for them to disrupt his tour. They want to do this they can blame it on HH and UPND. ” she said.
She said Mutale has been going around Southern Province meeting chiefs in readiness for Mr Lungu’s visit today.
“President Lungu is scheduled to visit Chief Chona, Chief Kufwenuka and Chief Mwanza. He may proceed to Maala as well,” she said.
She advised all Party members in Southern Province to stay away from any activities that President Lungu will undertake in the province, today.
“Let our people completely stay away so that we have no room for the PF to create a situation in which some of our members will be used to testify against President Hichilema in order to arrest him. We want the nation to know what is going on,” she said.
She has since called on the PF to immediately abort the evil and criminal scheme.
“We would like to warn the PF that such as a scheme is evil and criminal and should not be allowed at all,” she said.
Meanwhile, UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has urged all UPND members to avoid provocation and peacefully go about your business because evil minds are scheming to stage an incident that leads to his arrest.
Mr Hichilema urged members to be strong be strong and have faith that these dark days will soon be behind as we shall usher in an era of peace, democracy and the rule of law.
What is this woman talking about again? In Zambia all we hear is n0nsense .I would like to hear sensible news in Zambia but all one hears is absolute crap. Talk about things you have done and what you will do when you become presidents and governments. Not crap all the times. To make matters worse media stage crap as headline news.
She is right…the PF administration is full of trick stars willing to do anything.
Please take videos of any wrong doings we will use this as evidence.
That’s the only way…we are tired of these cowards.
Hakaivotela Humwine
This ugly woman is demented. She is losing it and suffering from retardation of the brain. This is what happens when your party continues to lose elections. Can some one shut this ugly ape up. I am in a very bad mood this week for obvious personal reasons
What a b!tch this ugly woman.
Are these the same PF who once were charging that highly trained UPND commandos kidnapped GRZ journos and pf officials in bweengwa ???
Or are the the same PF who also told us the GBM was training militia to attack ZDFs with golf clubs and boxing gloves ??
Or are they the same PF that recently charged that UPND were being involved in a $1.6 million arms import deal to attack lungu ??????
They seem like the same PF who gassed my people and tried to blame upnd …..
Spaka don’t you get tired of copy and paste.
@shupu shupu shupu

What is this orangutan talking about?
KZ
The truth hurts muchembele.,….
PF lies and wanton thuggery are so extreme that no body believes anything you say , and people now know you are cable of any lies…..
Your violence and thuggery is so ingrained that UPND have learned that just putting UPND colours any place with cameras will capture your cader violence and brutality for the world to see ……hehehehehe
To the UPND media team , pleas display more UPND colours with cameras ready for the action…..
Nonsense!!!
Going the wrong way again! If you think someone is talking nonsense, counteract the nonsense in the clearest, and most courteous manner. Don’t call them ugly, Orangutan, Chimpanzee etc., Insults don’t address the issue at hand. Lets all be kind.
How come chief.mukuni has issued a similar statement. What’s going on ba upnd
“…..just putting UPND colours any place with cameras will capture your cader violence and brutality for the world to see ……hehehehehe”.
Bufi ba Nalumango
@spaka ma2uvi yeka yeka fye
When Zambia has gotten close to elections HH has always created conspiracies.
UPND leadership is smelling defeat…..just when they should be raising the game
KZ
You guys are caught between a sewer and kaka in the bush……
If you use force to stop UPND colours on display……you are most likely on camera for every one to see
If you install discipline in your thugs to allow UPND colours……you will choke with envy at the support
What to do ??
Nonsense…now you have come to your senses. This time around you will be clobbered badly if your repeat the same stupiidity of booing the head of state. The country knows how intolerant southern province is to PF and its supporters. Do you think we have forgotten how you beat an burnt houses of non- Tongas in Namwala? This time around just behave yourselves other ethics can retaliate if you repeat the same in 2021.
What an irony! Whatever unlawful is done, it is by PF! UPND is the party of saints and priests! They don’t do anything unlawful! This is an allegation by a responsible political leader. She must give concrete to corroborate her claims. Otherwise it would be just talking in air.
This is very serious. Government must look into this immediately, if we want to save our democracy. I appeal Ms Mutale Nalumango to immediately lodge a police complaint and hand over the clinching evidence she has about the imminent danger.
Oh My God! Police must arrest Eddy Gowa, Bizwell Mutale and Brave Mweetwa. They are jeopardising the security of the President. I am sure Ms Mutale Nalumango shall help the law enforcement with the evidence she has to support her claims.
“We have concerns from the information that has come through from their (PF) camp, particularly from Chikuni radio where PF officials and cadres went and issued a warning that the so-called booing that happened in Monze would not be allowed this time around. They issued a stern warning to the people of Monze. We have names that have come to our attention like Bizwell Mutale, who is probably meeting some of the chiefs in Southern Province.” – This statement is self-contradicting. On one hand she claims that PF is planning to create ruckus during President’s visit tomorrow. And on the other, says PF cadre issued warning that booing will not be allowed! What does she want to say?
Has Ms Nalumango changed her mind to seek Hichilema’s retirement from politics? What happened to the claim that, UPND has not gained anything ever since Mr Hichilema became the party President? That day she was on fire seeking his resignation and today again she is on fire, protecting Mr Hichilema. Strange! What transpired from that day to this day? Would you tell us, Ms Nalumango?
I think this is an attempt to prepare ground to shift the blame on PF cadre for the violence that UPND cadre are likely to unleash at Monze and Maala. If you are not going to do anything, then why are you so worried? Just relax, seat back at home and watch it on TV, simple. Don’t get worked up Madam!
The police department must take cognizance of this matter immediately. Ms Nalumango has all the clinching proof they need. It is time to show that police is not working under anyone’s pressure.
It is good that Ms Nalumango has asked UPND cadre to keep away from the programmes in South Province, where President Lungu will be present. Very good decision. This will exposed who wants to create violence and who loves peace. More power to you Madam!
This is alright. But what about your anger against Mr Hichilema? What happened to that? Has he become a gentleman suddenly? Or ‘someone’ has ‘gained’ something to forget that matter?
I have always been saying that PF is behind the violence. But no one believed me. Now, here is Madam Nalumango saying the same thing. I hope people will believe it now. Moreover, she will give the evidence too.
What is the basis of the claim? You are a responsible politician of Zambia. You should have given concrete evidence to corroborate your claim.
