Balete-lete
ON THE STREETS NOT POOLING STATIONS AT ALL
People are fond of taking the law in their hands and farther demean the authority of the police.
The army will do a good, impartial job to quell violence and maintain peace. Only wilful law breakers will complain about the army. Believe me, this year there shall be excellent voter turn out owing to the peaceful streets around.
A clear vote of no confidence on Kakoma Kanganja by the head of State. If Kanganja was a normal person and in a normal and civilised country, he would have resigned. The government spent millions equipping his police and allowed him to recruit thousands more boots to deal with law and order in the country, but Kanganja has been nothing but a flop. His police is the best equipped in Zambia’s history but all the others managed to maintain law and order during elections with very few incidents. Kanganja, your time is up.
Deploy more forces also to Namwala district where Northerners and Easterners were targets of attack.
…and they accepted? They will not vote?? Voters cards for nothing!
That’s unfair and abuse.
Thank you for the patriotic gesture. Upnd will face the stiff arm of the law and our officers.
We have PF police, watch how they will become PF army once the disgruntled fimof imo test them out.
I hope they did inform HH. If they did not inform HH the country is ready for interim president.
I hope the GRZ is sharing information between PF and UPND.
How will that happen when the will be a new commader in chief? Wishful thinking and bwana you just fired yourself….. wait for 14 August
We all the outcome…HH will soon be history….we need new faces in the opposition….UPND will cry again too much kusabaila
…a scared little man trying to use the military to steal the vote… it won’t work! Your time’s up!
Army on all streets? There are many more cadres than soldiers! Even more steets than soldiers! It will be a BLOODBATH!
