Kasama’s Radio Mano has with immediate effect resumed normal transmission after a temporal closure which was effected last night.
This follows a three-hour dialogue meeting between the radio station and the ruling PF chaired by Northern Province Minister Freedom Sikazwe at his office which assured the safety of the Radio Mano Journalists from any harm from political party cadres.
Senior officers from the Zambia Army, Office of the President, Zambia Police Service and Zambia Prisons Service including representatives from the civil society and some members of the community were part of the dialogue meeting between Radio Mano and the PF.
The radio station was forced to temporarily shut down Wednesday evening until Thursday morning after PF officials threatened to burn down the station.
The officials who protested on Monday at Kasama Airport during President Edgar Lungu’s departure for Lusaka said they have been incensed by Radio Mano’s alleged bias coverage.
Gbm has already bought the staff at radio mano..
Make me understand this. PF cadres propose violence at Radio Mano, then you sit and dialogue with them. And in attendance are senior security Officers.
It pays to be PF!
This is the violence we are calling on President Lungu to stop. But alas the man will just raise his fist & blame global.
The sooner these PF rascals are stopped the better with their barbaric behavior. DeadNBC, Times of Zambia and Daily Mail hv blacked out the opposition and no one is protesting who do they think they are? After 11 August u will cry
The sooner Pf is kicked out of power the better for zambia. .Pf is just a violent party that has continued to harass and clobber innocent and defenceless zambians.
