Council of Churches in Zambia General Secretary Reverend Suzanne Matale says the church has every reason to believe that the Patriotic Front government is promoting criminality in the nation by watching in silence as rival party cadres hack and kill each other.
Reverend Matale in a statement obtained by QFM News says CCZ is concerned and alarmed at the violence by PF cadres which left one person dead and several other injured last week.
She says the situation has instilled fear and alarm among citizens.
Reverend Matale says it is totally unacceptable for people to continue dying as a result of political violence under the PF rule with recorded incidents of such violence resulting in death during recently held by-elections.
The CCZ General Secretary has since appealed to President Michael Sata to use his authority to address the matter of leadership wrangles with seriousness, urgency and impartiality to bring the lawlessness in the PF to an end before the country becomes ungovernable.
She adds that the violence that has rocked the country is a spillover effect of unresolved leadership disputes in the PF which is the root cause and needs to be addressed firmly by the leader of the party.
Reverend Matale says CCZ is concerned that if the situation is left unchecked, the country is at risk of allowing machete wielding criminals take over as the intra-party violence has already instilled fear and caused alarm peace loving Zambians who have suffered in silence, without any assurance from government that their lives are not in danger.
A very justified concern right there.I`m also lost for words when i look at the behavior of the cadres.If left unchecked they can become as unlawful as the “vigilante” were in the u.n.i.p days.It is about time the bastards where caged.
*It is about time the bastards were caged.*
To be honest with you this tribal issue is nothing but a tool which PF want use to their advantage. Unfortunately it won’t work with Zambians because we are so intertwined such that there is lot of people who belong to more than one tribe.
True and well said mrs Mutale this is purely pf nocence.
The party is led by criminals,opportunists using bait and switch tactics,wife beaters and a cobra.So if you were to extrapolate,the awful fruits of violence we see today were surely to be expected.
Iam so concerned over the presidents muteness, has anyone an idea of how to make him talk or respond to the delicate issues such as the Machete masquerade? Any one with some powerful magic Ndobo, Saulosi any body?
Ha ha ha.Maybe HH should talk about it.I`m sure it will force him to speak out.Lol
Sata is scared to anger one of the warring factions by avoiding talking about the issue. We all know him, if he talks, his mouth will say things that might alienate one faction and brew more trouble for PF and innocent citizens. He does not want to be seen taking sides.
He is a coward when called upon to deal with Mumembe and his cohort. He owes them a lot for putting him in power.
To say Sata is mute is an understatement. He becomes totally hypoxic when confronted by PF ‘s leadership wrangles.
Lifasi la Zambia lifelile!
By the way, Cold weather and his friend Dumbo should be suspended whats taking so long? They are solely responsible for these acts of evil being demostrated in that peaceful country, what leadership quality are they showing?
THE ACTS BY THESE CADRES ARE TOTALLY EVIL BUT I DISAGREE WITH WHAT U SAY ABOUT THE PRESIDO.DO U EXPECT HIM TO BE EVERYTHING?WHAT IS THE ROLE OF O THOSE HE HAS APPOINTED?MAY B U SHOULD ADVICE HIM TO FIRE DEM 4 DEY ARE A LET DOWN.FEEL SORRY 4 HIM.
THE GENISIS OF O THIS IS THE POVERTY THAT SUCCESSFUL GOVTS.THE ONLY SIN PF HAS COMMITTED IS TO STOP THESE THUGS FROM CONTROLLING MARKETS,BUS STOPS&LAND.IT IS THE WORK OF DE SECURITY WINGS 2 FLUSH THEM AWAY.DE PRESIDO HAS AUTHORISED DE POLICE 2 DEAL
SORRY ,I MEANT THAT SUCCESSFULL GOVTS HAVE FAILED TO ERADICATE.
Successful govts that included Sata, GAy scort and his pigs, Chikwanda( 7Billion debts), Bob sichinga, etc
Truly they trained these JJW rebels
The only solution to the problems in Zambia is to get rid of the PF party. To expect this evil party and its thug leaders to sort out the mess they are forever creating is unrealistic.
As Zambians we forced God to give us a leader in the name of Sata for no reason! God had a very good leader for us but we forced Him until He allowed us to have our way! Let’s now enjoy the fruits of our stubbornness! As zambians we have been sacrificed in the many accidents we have had! We have been subjected to evil leadership! ( Kabimba saying no morals in their leadership) people are being killed for sacrifice! Their faces being skinned, yet no one has been brought to book! Children all of a sudden start drowning in lusaka at quiet a high rate! Zambians wake up this government has no blessig from God! From the time they came into power no proper harvest has been realized! For the first time we Had army worms which raided our fields! Like children of israel when they forced Soul on…
People do you recall Rev Matele on radio phoenix Let The People Talk? If you do not recall, this is the person who was so sure Sata was the best person for this country and PF was the best vehicle for peace. What can she say now, let her go and meet Sata at plot 1 and discuss this matter with him as she is a hard core supporter of PF.
LT may be sued by Rev. Suzana Matale for attributing an incriminating statement to her. The Zambia Police will certainly send a “Call Out” to the good Reverand for defying the warning given to anyone who will “alarm” the nation by claiming that the PF thugs were wielding pangas. LT’s statement below:
“Reverend Matale says CCZ is concerned that if the situation is left unchecked, the country is at risk of allowing machete wielding criminals take over as the intra-party violence has already instilled fear and caused alarm peace loving Zambians who have suffered in silence, without any assurance from government that their lives are not in danger”.
Zambia is not the promised land. We are not God’s chosen people. We got the president we deserve and we will die before we shall rise again. We voted in a ruthless, careless man. He cares nothing for us. He is a devil worshipper and does not even understand the ten commandments. He is a bad ruler just as in biblical times, there were bad kings but God let them rule. It doesn’t mean that because you win an election, you are chosen by God. Honestly, do you think God chooses Mugabe?
I for one i dont like sentments that the current flock of leaders are chosen by God. This is rubish. God will never appoint someone who rejoice when people are kiling themselves. NONO. Leave him alone and deal with this physically and emotionally. Leave spiritual issues to people who desire them. PERIOD.
PF PARTY YAFI WELEWELE IS NOT EVEN A PARTY ITS A MOVEMENT OF FORMER CRIMINALS. ZAMBIAN A PEACEFULL COUNTRY THE ONLY BAD THING SATA DONT RESPECT THE GENERALS THESE GUYS NEED RESPECT DONT TRY TO HUMILATE THEM IN COURT PEACE BE UPON MOTHER ZAMBIA.
The president is not helping matters here,why is he quety.when you fight with your brother at home you expect your father to sit you down to resolve the matter,if your father is toothless then you expect much bigger fights in that home,so mr president open your eyez.before more lives of these poorer people,who fight for food and chibuku are lost sir!!
