PATRIOTIC Front (PF) youths in Lusaka’s Kanyama constituency have teamed up to help preach peace and reintegrate foreigners back into the community.
The youth, led by PF aspiring candidate for Kanyama constituency Lazarus Banda, said they were resolved to implementing the presidential directive of accommodating, loving and protecting foreign nationals.
Mr Banda’s team, that also visited the St Ignatius Parish Kalemba Hall where most foreigners were seeking refuge on Friday, expressed happiness that records at Kalemba Hall showed that there was no Kanyama resident.
“I am urging other constituencies to emulate what we have done in Kanyama because we stand for peace and unity, and we only allow those charged with the responsibility to enforce the law to do so as directed by our peace-loving President Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu,” Mr Banda said.
He was optimistic that the wrong picture that was painted about Zambia because of actions of a few criminally-minded parsons would soon be rubbed off the face of the world and that the country should continue being admired as an example of an oasis of peace.
Kanyama PF youths on Friday donated food items and other materials to the affected foreigners at the parish.
Calm has since returned to the affected townships and President Lungu has reassured all the affected foreign nationals of protection, including their property.
A check by the Sunday Times at Kalemba Hall yesterday revealed that some foreign nationals had documentation to be repatriated back to their various communities.
Meanwhile, Kanyama PF youths chairperson Franco Mashunye has refuted allegations that appeared in some sections of electronic and social media suggesting that he had defected to the United Party for National Development.
Mr Mashunye, who accompanied Mr Banda, told the Sunday Times in a walk-in interview that there was no way he could leave a progressive party like the PF.
You create chaos and then you show that you were not responsible. Any way, good to preach peace than violence. May this be the last time PF cadres will harass Zambians for belonging to other parties.
This is the duty of all Zambians. It is not enough for PF youth to do this alone.
THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS AND THIS IS WHAT ZAMBIANS ARE KNOWN FOR. HOWEVER, I WOULD ALSO APPEAL TO EVERY RESIDENT OF EVERY AREA TO BE VERY WATCH AGAINST PERPETRATORS OF CRIME AND IMMEDIATELY, REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS CRIME INCIDENTS TO POLICE. ZAMBIANS SHOULD START TO BEHAVE LIKE THE BRITISH AND EUROPEANS WHO REPORT ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS TO TO SECURITY WINGS WHO IN TURN SWIFTLY ACT UPON SUCH REPORTED SUSPICIONS.
The whole ritual and riot saga smells of political incitement, similar to what happened at the two universities. So similarly, are we gonna hear an ultimatum to release all those who have been arrested for ritual and rioting to be released or else……..?
In Jesus Christ, no weapon fashioned against HH will prosper and every tongue speaking falsehood against HH is condemned for that is HH’s heritage as the beloved of the Lord.
All incantations railed against HH from the pit of hell boomerang back to the devil and his agents and are rendered null and void. Any demonic confederacy that cabal a stratagem of lies, slander, smear, falsehood break your teeth and bones in the Name of Jesus, a curse full of demonic assaults and bondage engrains into your destiny all that is yours unto a thousand generations!!
Create chaos and appear to have the solution…donkeys
