Governance expert and human rights advocate Wesley Miyanda has commended President Hakainde Hichilema for re-affirming the zero-tolerance stance on negative cadrerism.
Mr Miyanda said the President’s stance on negative cadrerism should be motivating to those aspiring for the office of the President.
Speaking to ZANIS in an interview, Mr Miyanda commended President Hichilema for governing the country on the basis of the rule of law as promised during campaigns.
He was reacting to President Hakainde Hichilema’s National Address in parliament on National Values and principles on February 28, 2025.
In his speech, Mr Hichilema stated that politicians should practice smart politics that is free from violence and hate speech.
He said that politics should not divide the country but instead be used to drive development by competing in ideas rather than promoting hate and division.
Talk is cheap. We need to see such pronouncements walked.
Lets forget Politics for a while and lets concentrate on developing Zambia….we need to find a way of getting rid of cadres and Politicians…..NO PF CADRES….NO UPND CADRES….NO MMD CADRES… .UPND cadres were caught on canera attacking Truck drivers along Chirundu road yesterday
What do you mean no MMD cadres, MMD does not exist, it is dead. It is just one man who wants to pretend it exists when everybody knows MMD is gone. It cannot even compete in a feather weight fight, reason you don’t see it in any bye election, it is not there my brother
Shocking behavior I saw the video
All unruly cadres you see around are not UPND. They all belong to other political parties. Question is, how do they tell which side they come from.
In Luapula and Eastern provinces’ bye elections, all the noisy and insultive cadres were labelled opposition. Unless you admit that cadres come from any side, the fight to root out negative cadrism is meaningless.
UPND cadres are all over harassing people in bus stops and markets, the only improvement is that they are not at the level of the then PF cadres but cadres are very much there with all the african cadre characteristics – unruly, disrespectful, commanding etc.
Those are not UPND caders but common hasslersm from the streets ……..
#Spaka, Spaka you surprise me….if they were not Upnd a) they would have been picked up by police a long time ago
b) IF they weren’t Upnd the council wasn’t going to allow them use the council vests or jackets.
Any street hussler can claim to belong to the ruling party……..
UPND does not tolerate unruly violent caders harassing citizens……….
UPND does not need cader thugs to stay in power, it relies on the will of the people……..
We are here

We must learn to coexist and also learn to be kind and help each other…..greedy…hatred….violence
…theft should be a thing of the past…those that have should learn to share with those that don’t have…..lets all live in peace and harmony……always remember this…whoever is alive today March 5th 2025 will be dead in the next 100 years ….life is too short
Caderism is still there as seen as some cadres
Were seen at simoson with Mr Mwewa.It will
Never stop.
Bwana Police the Video is there of those characters at Simoson, and if the video exists of those in Chirundu. Even the Police have no right to use violence against a citizen, unless he resists arrest like Mwamba. Where force forced to be used. So arrest who want to suggest they are the law. And the council and Local government should sue the imposters of they are not their employees. Period. If the state is failing to do its job. Do a citizens arrest and follow up the matter until prosecution
The problem with Mr Hakainde Hichilema is that he sees violence only from the other people not from Upnd.
All the by elections in Southern Province have seen caders barring opposition members from filing their nominations.
He has reopened old cases eg Mumbi Phiri, Jay Jay Banda etc except the murder of Mr Kungo late NWP PF chairman…. killed by Upnd caders…. they were arrested but released soon after HH was sworn in.
Mr…..you are always posting fantasy…..
When is munir zulu showing the evidence you promised us he will provide about milupi and the other minister ?????
No one will believe you anymore with such fantasy claims…….

Why HH all the time. Its the Police failing to do their job. If some party official comes in to undermine the law. Use the media to expose that Party official. The Police must learn to do their job.
HH doesnt arrest people. That is not his job ba Deja Vu. Be objective and direct your criticism to the appropriate person or instution if you seriously want the problem addressed. When you are hungry at home do go to your father like he is the one that cooks Nshima? If there is no mealie meal, then its his problem but cooking of food is the mothers role (since you want gender appropreiate roles after all).
Just in the next 50 years…almost everyone here on Lusaka Times will be dead…HH will be dead..Lungu will be dead….Trump will be dead….why waste time fighting….life is too short…lets just concentrate on planting trees
In the ongoing struggles Chitambala Mwewa, aka Simon Mwewa Lane, is going through with cadres, I noted something he pointed out: these cadres have simply changed uniform so to speak. They are the same characters with the same streak as whenever this brand of cadre-ism came about. So let’s stop bs-ing about and attack the indecent, badly behaved, entitled brats that use whatever party color is in vogue to reign terror on their fellow citizens. In fact, congratulations to Chitambala who singlehandedly is putting these characters in their place. Well done!
#Spaka… killing someone is fantasy to you? I’m not surprised especially after seeing those people who robbed a truck, it’s all fantasy there?
It’s not fantasy ….,what is fantasy is calling the police are doing nothing, they are working on the case………
But why are you dodging the question?????
When is munir Zulu producing the evidence you very much told us he has ?????
You keep dodging the question badala……..like a PF politician.
We are waiting
