Women and Children look helplessly at their huts and mud thatched houses, which were razed down by baillifs at Wachepa village in Chief Kapatamoyo's area of Eastern province. The piece of land is owned by Kabalika Nkwengwe and recently, the court ruled in his favour to evict the villagers

Some of the huts and mud thatched houses, which were razed down by baillifs at Wachepa village in Chief Kapatamoyo's area of eastern province. The piece of land is owned by Kabalika Nkwengwe and recently, the court ruled in his favour to evict the villagers

A boy looks at the remains of his home, which was razed down by baillifs at Wachepa village in Chief Kapatamoyo's area of eastern province. The court ruled in favour to evict the villagers from this piece of land.
Poor villagers. Why didn’t the guy give them notice pela instead of just coming and evicting the villagers people are heartless.
You can be rest assured that these guys must have been given notice but decided to disregard it
Picture 2 and 3. The guys are really trying to keep us informed. The pictures of chiefs makes me wonder whether we really need chiefs in this modern world. As for villagers of Wachepa, it is a very sad development. I wish the judge would have given this destitutes an option. I thought there is plenty of land in villages in rural Zambia. Poor squatters deserve a better treatment.
#11 thru 13 – very cruel to mankind.
This Kabalika Nkwengwe must be an MMD cadre who is angry & relocating….
No comment. Just sadness all round. Lanky looking policemen and woman jumping out of a non-passenger carrying Police vehicle, Shoulder paparazzi journalism, RB missing from the traditional ceremony, villagers homeless… sad.
#2 and 3 could be illegal, pobably tresspassing.
Chief. lol
Ba kapokola are the ones breaking the law by travelling in a utility vehicle which is not meant to carry passengers!
1. No seats at the back.
2. No seat belts.
This issue of bailiffs descending on poor people like this is difficult to understand. Those villagers probably thought that it was okay to build on that land. I doubt if they knew that they were intruding on someone elses land. We need a more common sense approach when dealing with such disputes. Not these western style methods that are based on pure greed , and cause so much hardship.
# 2 Observer The “modern world” pa Zed is only pa lusaka. That to them is their modern world…..
the police, awe mwe
I sit and wait for the time when passengers will not be allowed in a van (back of a van). The Police should not be doing it but then again tis is wait Mr Capitalist and his dim friend MMD Bootfimofimo were preaching as development..
The ng’ubo peaple in Zambia? Anbody speaks that ng’ubo language?
why do we always favour the rich…..we need to work and bring sanity in our community..especially being voices for the voiceless…how do you demolish someones house without showing them somewhere to re-locate…AFRICA TWASEBANA….ZAMBIA WE CALO TWITA ICINA KRISTU.
we told you dont vote for pf, mwaona manje
I was driving in Lusaka as i overtook a van my collegue made a frenzied scream, abunai! (japanese for dangerous). By then i didnt know it can never happen in Japan, let alone even in poorer UK. But in South Africa its ‘normal’ to ride at the back of a ‘bakkie’….
Pic 1-Is that police woman in order for not putting on a hat ? Pic 2-3 hmm that iliko trick nga-alufyanya umwela…there must be better ways of getting a good footage ba movie naimwe.Pic 7-9 eya yeah ati ku ngumbo ekwesu endita ba mfumu.
# 1 please do away with this way of transporting officers for “respect and dignity”
Pic 3 I hope cameraman alishinda otherwise that guy hoisting him wont have liked the smell on his shoulders afterwards lol
Bad timing for the eviction of people from my chiefdom Kapatamoyo mwe bantu besu!
The rains are near, and time to plough fields must have began already, lomba soti ndiye pa mu utusha mabanja?
Careful with you systems you setup when in power. I am sure these politicians (MMD) thought this house was for Chiluba and not them. Now dancing to their own tune of music bading composed. I wish them well and PF this time around we want money back from these people and not protracted court cases which only makes lawyers rich and drink more and added value (women)
#17 you have made my day cannot stop laughing…..
#19 awe chachine ka, I thought i was the only one that thought zambian lawyers drink more
Ndipo tayelatu backwards na MMD. Picture 10, 11 and 12 very sad developed these people are already poor, and now they have become even more poorer. Sadddddddddddd!
I wonder what it take to be critical thro’ en’ thro’ and not offering any suggestive solutions. Looking at the chief and beyond the lake and its land scape. indeed that is GOD given resource that we should be looking for to reviving for tourism. looking at the demolistion and beliff shit; Policy makers should be thinking of way to include social and economical justice for the voiceless. The’s prenty of land land out there and these belly Full M%%^ken politician care less for the less previladged. These are struggling citizen that need to be protected with there harvest. Look at the law enforcing agency jumping from a Van. Who in the right freaken mind would order Pick up trucks for officers. its the wrong application of funds and needs of Law enforcing agencies
Pic # 10,11 and 12 pipo are nuts, how in the world poor people treated like that? no wonder yestarday our president disolved ZAWA board citing that there is no way annimals can be treated with more respect than people
Villges are traditional so people never got title deeds for the land they live on. Unfortunately someone in Lusaka can get a title deed for the land because it is “free” then go kick out innocent villgers. Someone should protect these people living on traditional land.
They should get BMWs for our police. In many countries, the police are given the best and strongest cars, vehicles that can outdo criminals’ cars. LOL, I am sure ZP bosses will salivate at that thought!
BUT KAMBWILI NIKA PONYA EEH
why most eviction happens towwrds rain seasons or near rain season.thank GOD the land shall be reposessed and given to the pipo
I’m wondering are those 2 men behind the chiefs are real ZP or they are ba Kapaso? If they are ZP they need to be on a healthy diet and pumping weights in the gym.
Sad to see people safer in this matter. MMD ministries of lands had failed. Though I am sure these Villagers were told o vacate but, usual arrogance. Quite confusing as pictures look like these people have been living there for years.
poor villagers where will at this time of the year mwe bantu its rain season ka.now we have no place to call village cos people from the city are cominig to buy land from village headmen .like in my village its all sold out very sad what can the poor people say .GOD can you help these people.
Is this Zambia where people are heartless? I can’t imagine this is happening in the country of the free.
It istrue justice is slowly becoming rare and alluding Zambia. How can it be that in this day and age we are experiencing fellow Zambians being de-humanised without dignity and proudly claim that we have changed for better? This has never happened before where poor peoples homes are razedto the ground in the name of court orders. This is shameful to PF govt. failure to amicably resolve what ever issue existed with poor villagers. If MMD never resolved, PF should have demonstrated that they can do things differently. Alas! its in Kapatamoyo chiefdom of Eastern province, perhaps they deserve it is PF attitude. PF govt has to shownational appeal in totality and justice is no exception.
My heart is totally broken to see those poor people treated like that. I wonder if the guy who lit the fire on those hearts will ever live happily on that land! These are situations where leaders should demonstrate their leadership abilities, to build a Zambia where all citizens, regardless of their social, economic or political status, are given fare treatment. If these people could afford to pay for a lawyer, they would probably be able to push this beyond this. This is brutality at its best. If there are any lawyers on this blog and if you think you could speak on behalf of these people, its not too late yet guys! As Zambians, what should make us proud when some amongst us are treated this way?  am utterly gutted!!!!!!!!Â

#8. LT, that’s not hammock; it’s a PALANQUIN.
.
i am dealing with this land issue too. For it to reach the bailiffs, it means the people have been given ample time in the past but they defied the warning. I have told squatters to move themselves and their activities to the allocated land but they don’t want. Ba limbilikila land yanga because it is cleared. it has been 4 yrs and I am finding the use of the bailiffs as a very attractive option.
A li fingazi bantu aba monga ba li na mapepa!
Ba Buju
Picture 8: Ba LT, please mind your diction. The chair is not a hummock chair. This looks more like a palanquin (or palkhi) unique to Africa. It is more of an uncovered Sedan Chair (or litter) than what you described. Hope you have been served.
#12 Ugly Truth yes Ng’umbos do exist and I am actually one my NRC says Chief Mwewa
