Police have launched investigations into the beating up of an intelligence officer by suspected PF/UPND cadres in Solwezi.
Home Affairs minister, Lameck Mangani, told ZNBC news in an interview that government will not tolerate attacks on security officials on duty.
He said security wings in the country are mandated to protect all politicians including leaders of the opposition.
Mr. Mangani says it is sad that opposition political parties have resorted to attacking officials of security wings assigned to protect them.
He also said government is mandated to protect all leaders of the opposition political parties when they are in public places.
Suspected PF/UPND cadres attacked and assaulted an intelligence officer deployed at their rally in Kapijimpinga area.

Too bad for the security officer!
Please PF Pact we dont want violence in Zambia, bring up issues and not just intimidating people. All the violence is beings started by these thugs and the post still keeps saying MMD. With this attitude you will not see state house in 2011.
“THE POST NEWSPAPER NEWS EDITOR, CHANSA KABWELA, WITH HAS BEEN ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE OF CIRCULATING OBSCENE MATERIALS. CHIEF MAGISTRATE CHARLES KAFUNDA ACQUITTED MS. KABWELA WHEN HE DELIVERED RULING IN THE MATTER THIS AFTERNOON.”
Mu Zambia bala toba…
Ali shishita kapala ! But why say ‘secret agent’ when his cover was blown ? Ichimpwena ba kamucheka !
Chiwamina Galu kuluma mbuzi ngati mbuzi imaluma galu. Just because its on the opposition side Mangani is quick to respond. Whilst we don’t condon any acts of violence Mangani his tandem of bootleggers should stop playing double standards.
Mayo….ba tuikata ba mambala…..but this pact we shall see in 2011. The signs of civil strife are clear. God save us!!
Nine Chale. Bala pama !
Lets stop this,we are one people at the end of the day,plotics should not divide us..lets unity people of God as our motto..one Zambia one nation, ….
It only becomes violence when others are beaten and ivestigations are done please the GOVT should be fair and take actions on whoever if found wanting so long its violence
CONGRATULATIONS TO KABWELA I HOPE THERE WILL BE NO APEAL
Informa , a snitch, a rat can never be tolareted! Chat dem down!
What a shameful act by the cadres. Politics of intimidation and violence won’t get us anywhere!
Coz its the MMD beaten then its an Issue. Sata was stoned and UPND guys attacked by MMD -thieves those were not issues. Can you believe it? The Pact is not protected, police is siding with the MMD-thieves, so what do you expect people to do? The PACT has to protect its self now. This is a warning to RB that he should put an end to this violence. This is how civil wars start. Please RB…tell the police to arrest who ever ( from MMD or PACT) is causing violence. We always tell you this but since you are a jocker , you take it lightly. RB PLEASE READ THIS WARNING OF CIVIL WAR IN ZAMBIA.
Secret agent, kind of an oxymoron if people knew his secret. Maybe he should be sacked cos if some unintelliegent cadres can deduce his secret identity what more of some other foreign agents who are meant to be watched? Hopeless, really hopeless.
Mr. manganni, how do you know it’s the opposition cadres who beat up this lying spy? You’re so full of hatred for everything that’s non-MMD, and yet soon, you’ll find yourself without a job, and will be wondering why on earth you allowed yourself to be used the way you are today.
# 11, we won’t allow an appeal, unless there’s one aginst the chief thief, Kafupi of Zaire.
#17 you wont allow an appeal, what powers? am not for the appeal but what can you do if they decide to appeal? they will fail again thats it and she can sue for incovenience
Violence should not be condoned whether it is coming from govt or opposition. I think it is fair to say that all political parties have been involved in violence of one form or another. I think that the leaders should make more of a concerted effort to curb it. However, I dont think we should get ahead of ourselves and start talking about civil war (Kambongolo #14, do you have to be so over-dramatic?). As for the ‘Secret agent ‘ I agree with what some other bloggers have stated and he should really look for another job as he or she is obviously not a very good spy.
MANGANI. very poor quality for a minister. He defends anything to do with his corrupt government.Â
An intelligent officer beaten???? Was it his first mission??? Strana ( strange)
An intelligent officer beaten???? Was it his first assignment ( is he new to the society?)??? Strana ( strange)!!
A shushu should not be easly spotted then he is useless He is lucky that he is still alive coz mob psychology they beat sometimes they kill. BALI MUCHITA WAANYA-WAANYA TOO BAD FOR HIM, RB OWES HIM A DRINK A COLD MOSES WILL
OOLO SHAKERS WILL COOL HIM DOWN
My name is Bond…James Bond…am sure it didnt work this time around!
YEAH MAN, DEM BABYLON BLOOD-CLOT KILL INNOCENT MAN.! I AND I PRAISE JAH FOR DEM BRETHREN IN KAPIJIPANGA DO A PATRIOTIC TING! I RIE!
Mayo ! Mayo! Pumembwa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shu shu shu in Zambia bragg about being undercover.
Mangani is economical with the truth. Three OP officers had gone to spy on HH’s home in Solwezi when they were spotted by HH’s security who pounced on the three. Thos in Solwezi may shed more light on this.
If the guy was indeed Office of the President special Branch sent to provide security to Opposition political leaders then they should have been briefed within the inner circles and this wouldn’t have happened. But he was there to do the opposite. Govt should not even be quick to defend him. Mangani you should know that once a shushu is caught during operations he is on his own. Even his rescue will be on a need to know basis. You can not openly say he was sent to the rally. Mediocre minister.
#2, AM ASHAMED TO KNOW THAT U’RE A ZAMBIAN SERIOUSLY. SO MMD CAN BEAT ANYONE FROM THE PF/UPND PACT BUT NOT FROM MMD? OBVIOUSLY THE SHUSHU IS FROM MMD. THEY ATTACKED SATA IN SOLWEZI WHAT DID U SAY ABOUT IT? MY HEART BLEEDS TO WHATS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY. GUYS PLIZ, DO U REALLY THINGS WILL CHANGE UNDER THIS MMD GOVERNMENT? LETS GIVE THESE OTHER GUYS A CHANCE!! #2 U ARE A DISGRACE!!
poor shushushu…
retrench the chap
Good 4U! How did people get to know you were a secret agent? Obviousy you were boasting, kuliwonesha ta! that’s what you get for thinking you are Jimmy Bond!
Ba shu shu shu are deaply involved in rigging elections. They deserve it mwe!!!!
If indeed they protect everybody including opposition leaders as is being suggested here. Why then can they be targeted. Tell us the truth.
THE TRUTH IS THAT THE SECRET AGENT IS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED NOT TO BE DETECTED. IF HE WAS DISCOVERED THEN HE MESSED UP BIG TIME AND IF IT WAS AFGHANISTAN HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY HIS EMPLOYER. THIS BEING ZAMBIA; HE WAS LUCKY TO BE JUST BEATEN UP BY THE PACT.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT INTELLIGENCE WAS HE GATHERING AT A POLITICAL RALLY AND THEN HOW DID HE BLOW UP HIS COVER…I GUESS HE REALLY MISBEHAVED.
As long as the police continue to take sides,violence will be difficult to contain.
But let us not engange in violence because at the end of the day we will have one country to protect and that is Zambia. Prediction for Solwezi Central : UPND- PF 71% MMD 21% Others 8% while Next year Bweengwa in Monze will be as follows UPND – PF 96% MMD 2% Others 2%

How did the pipo know that this guy is a secret Agent? They will only know if the person brags to some family and friends, these jobs are not for pipo who drink like fishes. The guy probably was drunk and started showing off about his job, so they gave him a good beating.
Ba LT, we need more information about this beating,
