MMD Kitwe District chairperson, George Lungu has said the booing of second Republican president Frederick Chiluba during his visit to Kitwe last weekend was stage-managed by the opposition.
And ex-miners in Kitwe’s Wusakile Township have said in no circumstances were they in a position to boo and insult Dr Chiluba who had offered to help address their plight.
In an interview in Kitwe yesterday, Mr Lungu said the picture portrayed by some individuals that Dr Chiluba received a hostile reception in Kitwe and that residents booed him was a total fabrication of what really transpired on the ground.
Mr Lungu charged that in fact it was the opposition that organised some callboys to boo Dr Chiluba to give an impression that the former president in was not welcome in Wusakile.
He said it was the view of the party and a cross section of people in the district that the former head of State had done so much for ex-miners, and for the opposition to organise callboys to boo him was most unfortunate.
Mr Lungu said in fact, ex-miners were eager to meet Dr Chiluba because of the many outstanding issues they wanted the former head of State who is their patron to address on their behalf.
And Wusakile-Chamboli Ex-Miners Association secretary, William Chola expressed disappointment with people insinuating that Wusakile residents who were mostly ex-miners booed Dr Chiluba when he visited the area.
Mr Chola said it was unfortunate that people were now trying to dent the name and image of ex-miners to Dr Chiluba when the two parties enjoyed a good relationship.
“In fact the residents and in particular ex-miners in Wuskile welcomed Dr Chiluba in the area and even demanded to have a meeting with him but unfortunately he had a tight schedule,” Mr Chola said.
As far as he was concerned, the people who booed Dr Chiluba were hired thugs and mostly the so called ‘Copper-Copper’ who upon seeing Dr Chiluba demanded money but when he refused to give them, decided to cause confusion.
Mr Chola said it was the same Copper-Copper thugs and not the residents or ex-miners who booed Dr Chiluba during his visit in Kitwe last weekend.
Last Sunday, former Patriotic Front (PF) secretary general, Charles Chimumbwa revealed that he had the previous day received a phone call from a person only identified as Mulenga who told him that they had managed to disrupt Dr Chiluba’s visit to Kitwe.

Mr Lungu what has FTJ done for the Ex-minners? The truth is Copperbelt people are not easily decived like in rural areas,thats why they did not not want to entertain any useless talks from our so called second republican president.I wish i was there to help those zambians to boo him as well.:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j
Contradictions from George Lungu. In one breath he says there was no booing and in another he says it was stage-managed. Which is which! Don’t just defend when you were not even there. Chiluba was booed, insulted and ridiculed, this is a fact!
The answer my friends is in that last few lines.

I know this young man Geore Lungu. He lives on politics with no principles, He got a job at W, Tarry in Unip through politics, he was against FTJ during LPMs time. Today he is a supporter of FTJ because RB has accomodated this dwarf, If RB changes his mind on FTJ George will follow suit.
