  1. Being MMD or not, a Zambian is a Zambian.A thief is a thief no matter the political affiliations

  2. I wish the police desplayed what shimpundu pankoloko was arrested with. Now they arrest theopposition cadres they even desplay the pangas. Selective prosecution.

  3. Ok there is no need to refuse or deny our affiliates most of them don’t have cards. But its so unfortunate that they are people who have gone to the extent being under intensive care unit. We should condemn violence regardless of whichever political party no matter how thugy.

    Ndandula that thanks for the stein action and warning to the public. Serve us!

    Chweela!

  4. At whatever angle you look at those they are all criminals and they should be punished. Thanks to Zambia police for doing your job professionally. No one is above the law and whoever found wanting must face the wrath of the Police

  5. Police states that two of the three cadres are allegedly from the PF while the third one is suspected to be an MMD member.

    Moses Piyo and Blackson Mwanza are suspected to be PF cadres while Richard Zimba claims to be from MMD. PATHETIC REPORTING…SHIMPUNDU PANKOLOKO WAS ARRESTED NO ONE REPORTE…PUBLIC MEDIA?????????????????

  6. Chi Willian Banda, why deny him when the chap is unwell because of your deeds. Pay him a visit in Hospital he needs your support. Youths learn from this. They deny you when you are in problems.

  7. To avoid future violence, the police should cane these cadres live on tv. The police should send proper signals

  8. Winna Azafa this Sept, Many more will have to die, dont ask me why for there’s a natural mystic flowing thru the air.
