PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has warned that as commander in Chief of Armed Forces, he will be compelled to instruct police to use a bit of force on perpetrators of violence who want to cause bloodshed as a means of getting to State House ahead of the August 11 elections.

Mr Lungu said there was no need for any politician to advocate for violence instead of campaigning in a peaceful manner that would also bring about unity in the country as opposed to bloodshed.

“When you are president, you are alone, so why are you supposed to shed blood just to win Power? “I know that it doesn’t matter how many people other injure or kill in the run up to the elections, but as for me I refuse to be intimidated, and harassed,” Lungu said.

Mr Lungu was speaking when he addressed a huge rally in Nampundwe area in Shibuyunji district yesterday.

He said there was no need for anybody to shed blood on their way to State House and called the people of Zambia to reject those that advocate for violence.

He called on the police to act swiftly and arrest those wanting to cause violence and bloodshed.

First Lady Esther Lungu called on the people of Nampundwe to give the President a five year term of office and assured the women in the country of her support to empower them.

She pledged to lobby for more support to the Zambian women to uplift their living standards.

PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri urged the people of Nampundwe not to vote for a political party which had picked a violent man for a running mate ahead of the elections.

PF MCC Mukupa said President Lungu had demonstrated an exemplary leadership and should be retained in power.

Former republican Vice President Enock Kavindele called on the residents of Nampundwe vote for president Lungu.

He said Zambia could only develop with a person like Mr Lungu who has a passion to develop the country and improve the livelihood of all Zambians regardless of political affiliations.

  1. Lungs is the most incompetent president Zambia has ever known.His cadres are the ones killing, injuring and trying to bring down HH helicopter and he blames the opposition.Zambians and all who are supporting him have no brains

    • Always look to the opposite of whatever Chakolwa Chagwa says. What about his violence just to stay in State House? And what does “a bit of force” to be used by his Police Force (PF) mean? Is this a coded instruction for his Party of Fascists to now torture and kill the opposition? Chakolwa is ruthless, slimy and incompetent – all wrapped in one time-wasting character.

    • @Back Teeth Lungu.
      You couldn’t have put it better. I like your description of the drunkard. His dullness really amazes me. If this is the average intelligence of a Zambian lawyer then anyone can go to law school and pass. I expect a certain minimum intelligence from a person who studied law but this guy has the mind of a hen. To say that Lungu’s intelligence can be equal to that of any mature parrot would be an insult to the amazing birds.

    • “PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has warned that as commander in Chief of Armed Forces, he will be compelled to instruct police to use a bit of force on perpetrators of violence who want to cause bloodshed as a means of getting to State House ahead of the August 11 elections.”
      The question is WHEN??????????????????????????

    • Zambians are durderheads to have picked on such an incompetent and crooked person for a president and it is shocking that there some people still for such a shameless touble toughed lier for the forth coming elections.
      With all the atrocities his thugs have committed on the opposition,this guy even has the audesity to point an accusing on the opposition, it is unbelievable and mind bongering to say the least. Please people of Zambia, do the rightful thing by voting out this fraud impostor!!

    • “I know that it doesn’t matter how many people other injure or kill in the run up to the elections, but as for me I refuse to be intimidated, and harassed,” Lungu said.

      SO HE IS PREPARED TO SHED BLOOD & DOESN’T CARE AT ALL for as LONG AS HE STAYS IN PLOT 1!!!!
      THERE WE HAVE IT – Men & Women of the DEFENCE FORCES DO NOT LET THIS PSYCHOPATH USE YOU TO COMMIT MURDER – TAKE A LEAF FROM THE EXEMPLARY POLICE OFFICERS, WHO PERFORMED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER IN MANDEVU YESTERDAY!! Presidents COME & GO, & WE ARE THE ONES WHO DETERMINE SO – NOT A KILLER WHOM WE SO MISTAKENLY GAVE A CHANCE TO LEAD US!!! HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR THE PRESIDENCY NOR DOES HE HAVE A SHRED OF CONSIDERATION FOR ALL THE ZAMBIANS THAT HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO REMAIN IN THAT OFFICE, IN PEACE, FOR AS LONG AS HE HAS!! NOW THAT HE…

    • ….has RESOLVED HE WILL KILL, & HE DOESN’T CARE – So BROTHERS & SISTERS IN THE DEFENCE FORCES, we all KNOW THAT HIS CONTINUED STAY IS OF NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER, but JUST MISERY & BLOODSHED as he has now resolved – ZAMBIA DOES NOT DESERVE THIS – we all voted for Sata, BUT NOT FOR THIS THIEF, DRUNK & EVIL MAN!!!

      Vote WISELY 11/8/2016!! Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!! Vote For A UNITED & A RE-EMERGING ZAMBIA with all of us simply FOCUSED ON MAKING OUR COUNTRY BETTER, rather than SOMEONE WHO DOESN”T CARE HOW MANY DIE!!!!

      #chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

    • People seems not to be interested and happy in the scene. I dont know if they were just forced to attend the rally. The mood has really changed if the president has psychological judgement. If i was him i would not waste my money in this election.

    • Why does Lungu speak like a timid commander? He can’t definitively instruct police to arrest all warring parties at any scene of violence and arraign them before the law! PF cadres are the instigators of violence unless Zambians want to choose to be blind! RB had a short reign of 3 years and unless we have short memories, were it not PF cadres that wanted to disrupt RB’s rally in Kasama when he referred to them saying “Visiyeni nivimasilu”

    • How stupid can one be? You are THE president of the country, and you are instructing police to use “a bit of force”, really?
      And your party continues kill and destroy property??

    • I have been reserving my comments until now.Lung you are the most DISPICABLE,EVILand DUMB Zambian.I would have given you my vote but sorry you don’t deserve it.
      How on earth can you be talking of instructing police instruct police to use a bit of force on perpetrators of violence who want to cause bloodshed as a means of getting to State House ahead of the August 11 elections?It is well known that your pf thugs are the ones attacking other innocent peaceful citizens.I now believe why others have even suggested that you are a moslem associated with ISIS.You have lost my respect.I urge other fellow Zambians to go flat out to decampaign this hooligan party with its kaponya leadership

    • Ati “I’ll instruct police to use a bit of force on perpetrators of violence”. This in itself is a foo.lish statement. The police should be professional enough to decide what course (s) of action should be taken to maintain order. Being commander in chief does not entail you should now issue silly instructions, but it means that when presented with several options by the professionals (police, army, zaf, etc), you should be able to use your judgement and the intelligence provided to make the call on which option is best. It’s not about working up in your drunken stupor and telling someone to arrest political opponents…. Ala!

    • How did Zambia end up with Lungu? The guy is not only so incompetent in all aspects, but his statements are so weird. Lungu knows that its his cadres who are violent and yet he chooses not to be specific on his violent cadres.

  2. THIS SHOULD APPLY TO PF CADRES TOO. WE ALL WANT A PEACEFUL ELECTION. LET US DEBATE ON THE ISSUES AND REALIZE THAT IT’S OKAY TO HAVE OPPOSING VIEWS. THE POLICE MUST BE IMPARTIAL AND FAIR. CHANGE IS EMINENT PF IS PACKING. UNO MWAKA NI VOTE WISE!!

  3. Good EL, police must arrest frog-shape gbm FO instructing his nonexistent crowds into violence. EL u r staying in state house after 2016. Vote PF!!!!!

  4. Unfortunately Scott has exported violence even to the UK where a minister was shot and stabbed to death at a campaign meeting yesterday.

  5. This man is a clown. He shouldn’t instruct the police to do anything. He should let them do their job. Why is he speaking like an opposition candidate? When he is the one who can intimidate? You cannot intimidate someone with all the instruments of oppression. Is this veiled threat why the call him humble?

    • He’s a commander in chief *****. That means he can command the police or any other defense force to do things that are within the law.

    • @ Escobar

      Always provided that his orders are in compliance with Constitution and Statutory provisions.
      Otherwise, he shall be acting illegally!!!

    • LUNGU – I shall instruct the police to use “a bit of force”…….

      A REAL President – The police should enforce a ZERO TOLERANCE to people breaking the law………

  6. Kavindele has stooped too low; I really thought him a better man than that. As for lungu and his empty words, we have all seen the pictures of PF cadres with rocks, we have all read the headlines–I do not know who he thinks he is fooling.

  7. This Lungu must go August 11!

    “He said there was no need for anybody to shed blood on their way to State House and called the people of Zambia to reject those that advocate for violence”

    Lungu, THAT IS WHY WE ARE REJECTING YOU!

    “PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri urged the people of Nampundwe not to vote for a political party which had picked a violent man”

    Thankyou Mumbi Phiri, we will not vote for a party that picks their leader by raising of hands and pangas!

  8. Zambians if you don’t wisely expect more violence and high cost of living this time around please don’t be fooled by Pf promises.

  9. And you wonder why this Lazy Bum Edgar LAMENTABLY FAILED to crack it as a lawyer. As a Party President the bum is just too weak to face off his cadres and as a head of state he lacks basic understanding of governance issues.

    • Even in 2015 you and your fellow failures kept mumbling and talking same rhetoric and bigotry but ECL triumphed. HH lost and will happen 2016.
      HH blind followers think 2015 numbers were a popularity test for him. You forget simple facts that voter turnout was 33% average but 95% in Southern province. That is why 2016 voter register shows Sountern province having 17% of voters beating Northern, Luapula and Eastern so that hh wins on voter turnout.
      Bringing into HH team, haters of ECL like Kilometer, Sikoti, maroads masebo gbm will not make hh win 2016 election. Be prepared for an excruciating defeat. Zambians have already decided. KATEKA is already known, UMUNTU (human( NOT ANIMAL (HH), is already known, NI LUNGU.

    • And what has your HH got to do with me if i criticise Lazy Lungu that means I support UPND? It is clearly evident that this bum can lead…imagine you are an IG and this i.diot tells you its okay to use a bit of force what do you think that translates to?

  10. THATS THE WAY TO GO ECL BCOZ THESE BUNDITS WANT TO GO TO STATE HOUSE BY FORCE BUT WE ARE DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN OUR LONG ENJOYED PEACE…….#WELOVEYOUECL

  11. I will instruct police to use a bit of force on perpetrators of violence who want to cause bloodshed as a means of getting to State House (that is a president of Zambia for u). So u want to cause bloodshed for u to remain in state house? One chopper was attacked and what he does is to turn a blind eye. I feel sad 4 this country.

  12. Mr. President just tell police to use maximum force. Some of these politicians rejoice in seeing blood. That is why they are Satanists.

    • @Chibs, you sir are an *****. Look at Burundi and learn from it. That’s what happens when a sitting president begins to use armed forces in the country to further his agenda. After instructing the police to be brutal with the opposition, which is a form of intimidation, and suppression of the democratic process, next he will be talking about instructing the army to use a bit of force. That means shooting the opposition. When you reach that point, you’ve descended into chaos leading to immense bloodshed. Study some global politics. Only tyrants instruct the armed forces to start beating up the opposition. His Job as a President is to remind Zambians everyday to be peaceful, to condemn violence whether in his own party or the opposition. The police are there to serve everyone in the…

    • (Continued)…country, enforce the law by arresting law breakers, be it in the ruling party or the opposition. They have to remain impartial. A few days ago, it was reported that some PF cadres had been throwing stones at HH’s helicopter, trying to prevent it from landing. We didn’t see ECL coming out to strongly condemn that. And don’t think that everyone who criticizes ECL is supporting HH, NO. Presidents come and go, and the country remains. So all peace loving Zambians, and true patriots put country first above politicians, some of who are in it for personal gain. We need to condemn any kind of violence, whether it’s being perpetrated by hooligans, or being insinuated by a president.

  13. The strategy of violence is planned by pf to not only intimidate people but also to apply force to control the voting and ballot counting.

    Open your eyes.

    Where is the church to voice rejection of such evil plan

  14. This is the most useless and double tongue President this country has ever had. He knows why is behind the violence in this country yet he fails to tame his cadres who he has given thousand of Pistols that are being sold on the streets at K2000. Why have the police not arrested Maxwell for shooting at the UPND cadres. Why have they not arrested the PF thugs that undressed the lady in front of the VP. Yet Zambians just laugh.
    Lungu show us where you got the K27 Million in one year. Sonta.

  15. @nsomba go to Mansa today and ask the people about HH, they have forgotten him as if he wasn’t there just a week ago. That’s for crowds

  16. The problem Lungu is that he is doubled faced. He is the one interferring with the Police to protect his violent thugs and supporters. As part of Lungu’s election rigging strategy he has to use violence to coerce voters into voting for him. Lungu should leave the Police to do their work professionally. We know that Lungu got into the PF Presidence by using violence and he is now trying to retain power thru violence. Yes lets not vote Lungu and his fellow thugs Forward with HH/GBM Team.

  17. This guy misunderstands the role of Commander-in-Chief. It is NOT about sitting in front of a dial that will moderate the intensity of security enforcement; there are laws governing what a defence apparatus can and cannot do. I think let us stick to that. To say what has been quoted (I hope he was misquoted for his own sake) is to imply that the entire country is at the mercy and pleasure of a single branch of governance, namely, the Executive. If that is the case, GOD HELP US.

    • Lungu is a danger to our security.our men in uniform are being made to look foolish by this failed lawyer.God help our country.

  18. My brothers I understand you are entitled to freedom of expression but I feel some of you are going beyond boundaries. Whether it pleases you or not, Edgar Lunga at the moment is a president of Zambia and he deserves your respect. Don’t doubt his words, he is truly the current commander of the armed forces, and you cant take away that from him-it is in black of white.Some of you just forget that just few months ago he released the soldiers in our compounds-so be careful because even now if the situation goes out of hand he can do the same-and all the nonsense we are witnessing can come to an end. Therefore don’t dare him, mind you he carries a very vicious stick and am happy as kind man he does not want to use it.

    • @ OGA

      You are forgetting one small issue, he is also subject to the Constitution and Statutory provisions. Or, are you implying that Constitutional order has been suspended?

    • If Lungu truly said the words attributed to him in this article then Zambia is in an unfortunate position at this critical phase of Zambia’s development. In a way it is not hard to believe that he could have uttered those words. Edgar is where he is by hook and crook. To become president of PF he made sure that no other contestant to the position was allowed at Mulungushi Rock of Authority. His cadres used pangas, sticks, rocks, and other weapons to bar other party presidential candidates from participating in the electoral process. Now that he is president of Zambia he is ready to use instruments of governance for wrong reasons. Edgar knows that he is abusing his authority by telling the police “to use a bit of force” on those that do not think like him. This is not about…

  19. Fellow bloggers, I expected each one of you to condemn violence but others are busy supporting it. When violence enrapture, it does not choose who belongs to which party. So, please, appreciate what ECL is saying. We only have one Zambia and we are all Zambians. Just ask the people from Burundi, they will tell.

    • So what are you implying here? Who is behind violence? is it not the same person Lungu? The chopper was almost stoned to the ground but the chap has not even mentioned anything about it. How can we love such a president who only calls violence when a pf cadre has been attacked. Zambia is a democratic nation and each member has to be protected.

  20. Mr Lungu, what you are saying is correct. But it will help for you to admit that your party is violent and take corrective action. I personally think you mean well your Excellency, the biggest worry though, is that your caders don’t seem to heed your command. They are completely ignoring your command to them

  21. Pic 2 & 3, wrong captions……………correct one must be “Child defiler and ex-convict general kanene performs as Lungu and his wife dance on…..”

  22. President Lungu should show some strength In his party and in still discipline. He has to behave like Mwanawasa. Mwanawasa fired Nevers as vice president, fired Mbita Chitala as ambassador, demoted George Mpombo from energy minister to provincial deputy minister when the country ran out of fuel, but the current president can’t even fire his cadres causing violence

  23. Mwanya Elyo twatampa, Viva Edgar Chagwa Lungu, tulepitamo monse nomba tukamone popularity eko ili. Mind you we have 9 Choppers on stand by. Each province every day that is awesome. SONTA

  24. Iwe” Cakolwa Chagwa, why don’t you lecture your dwarf Kampyongo to cease advocating violence on your behalf??
    Iwe’ Chagwa are the most incompetent President Zambia has ever known.
    HONESTLY YOU HAVE PROVEN YOU WERE NEVER PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL, & THE BIGGEST DRUNKEN CURSE TO EVER BEFALL ZAMBIA!!!

  25. If Lungu truly said the words attributed to him in this article then Zambia is in an unfortunate position at this critical phase of Zambia’s development. In a way it is not hard to believe that he could have uttered those words. Edgar is where he is by hook and crook. To become president of PF he made sure that no other contestant to the position was allowed at Mulungushi Rock of Authority. His cadres used pangas, sticks, rocks, and other weapons to bar other party presidential candidates from participating in the electoral process. Now that he is president of Zambia he is ready to use instruments of governance for wrong reasons. Edgar knows that he is abusing his authority by telling the police “to use a bit of force” on those that do not think like him. This is not about…

  26. So in Zambia with the leadership of Lungu,they will be talking only about UPND,teefyo mwebantu?What happened in Shiwangandu was not even mentioned on ZNBC.What is Lungu after?Is he after tarnishing the name of HH because he knows HH is the biggest threat to remove him in power.If Lungu does not want peace,let him talk openly than ukulafyenga abantu bamo pakuti ekalilile mu state house.If he is after civil-war,let him talk;he thinks in countries where there is wars people are stupid.Civil-war breaks out because of having treacherous and injustice presidents like Lungu.On what happened in Shiwangandu,Lungu did not say he will instruct police to use force.If Lungu wants war to break out in Zambia,let it be;we UPND shall not be intimidated by a puppet leader like him who wants to continue…

  27. LT next time give us up-close shots to analyse crowd composition and body language- that’s the barometer for assessing possible vote buy in.

  28. And some gullible cadre will say this Lazy Bum is humble when he sees him in church next Sunday preaching about peace and unity yet here he is cowering from that subject.

  29. I feel sorry for HH, what is next after loosing for the fifth time? GBM will be no where to be seen. ECL is winning by 68% followed by HH with partly 20%. Who said Zambians want HH ? Nawakwi 15% and the last on the Tail will be Kabimba with 00.0001%.

  30. Please please give my husband a 5 year term so that me and my family can continue living well. Look at what we have achieved for ourselves in 15 months only. Said Lady Esther.

  31. What ECL said is correct. However, it is incomplete. It is only fair to threaten to unleash the police on all perpetrators of violence, not just the opposition. In its current form, the statement is another attempt to stifle the opposition and further infringe on their constitutional right to canvas for votes throughout Zambia. As it is, I am now afraid.

  32. Wow these guys are seriously bussing cadres, that crowd is about 10x the total population of Nampundwe

  33. Is this Edgar Lungu normal! His cadres are perpetuating violence and he blames the opposition! He is so dull that he thinks Zambians can’t see and judge! The shocking thing is, whenever his cadres commit a crime, we have never heard him condemn them directly, he will always come out strongly condemning UPND! What a clown of a president!

  34. If lungu wants to stay in power, usi g force, he will have to kill all of us supporting change & he will be taken to the international criminal Court.

  35. I’m a bit disappointed with Lusaka Times. Each time I visit this website all headlines are about politics and whoever the F is released a new song. Freaking dumb ass. What happened to my culture? Don’t I deserve to know what’s happening in Maposa? I’m done. Long live with your f****** politics.

  36. “I know that it doesn’t matter how many people other injure or kill in the run up to the elections, but as for me I refuse to be intimidated, and harassed,” Lungu said.
    I am trying to be as objective and fair as possible, can someone explain how the president is being harassed or intimated. We read that instead it was some police officers who were insulted and harassed by very bold PF cadres for maintaining law and order.
    Very worrying statement by the president.

  37. Eli lwanya bane you are just depending on rigging but Zambia being a Christian nation God will expose all evil plans. He does not slumber, he is in contro.

  38. @21.1 Lotus are on the moon? HH was in Mansa on 29th May 2016. You can’t even follow programs by your president?

  39. Again, I keep on saying I am not UPND of PF.
    But even if I was PF and wanted to be objective, it is apparent that there is no message for the people in the speech that ECL gave as quoted above.
    The same “blame the opposition” culture is just too rooted into their blood that they cant see even when it is obvious.
    I expected ECL to stand up as a Zambian President and denounce the violence that he is now trying to blame UPND of. This is not LEADERSHIP material, I am sorry PF. I know you know it deep down your hearts.

  40. And which Police will you instruct chipuba iwe,because Kanganja has shifted,he is now acting in line with the UN protocol.New York meeting yasova.And didnt you hear that your own PF cadres were arrested in Mandevu yesterday?You are now a thing of the past bwana-wake up and get out of our state house before we personally came to flush you out!You ll be the first president ever to be embarrassed in this manner.Whatever you vomit doesnt matter to us Zambians anymore,we just had enough of your nonsense.Meanwhile people the Chiefs salary increment were just another Donchi Kubeba,read the post”Chiefs will now pay own Zesco & medical bills – government”.Which is equal to NO increment at all!

  41. I never believe ECL has a drinking problem. Now with the way he sees things, I can not but believe something is seriously wrong with his mind. He sees black and says it is red. Where everyone sees green, for him it is pink. Mr. President, history is abound with lessons for leader. Remember the legendary invisible suit for the emperor? Why can’t you see my brother that things are bad and it is your team making it bad? Have you been given the emperor’s invisible suit and you really believe you are dressed in this invisible thing. I would ask God to wake me up…. if only I were in your position…….

  42. Since when did Lungu hold rallies alongside his wife Esther?This is another clear indication that the Barger is really sick & now feels lonely.These are also sings of instructions from the Doctors,that:you are now vulnerable;you cannot walk alone anymore,you ll ve to take these tablets 4times a day,wear warm clothes,dont stand for too long,speak little,always be on stage with someone so that incase you collapsed that person can support you from hurting your head.And then the Doctor says”please do as i ve told you”while Esther is watching too-Mwaunfwa bamayo?Eeh twaunfwa batata.Ok,go now!

    • @Redbull,
      There is no issue if ECL decides to campaign with his wife, after all the wife just like the daughter, are much more popular, hence its strategic for his to use them to win women votes. That is fine and its standard.

      What we should be questioning is his failure to denounce violence as a Zambian President, instead he sees everything as PF President – blame opposition, even where its not due.

  43. Reading the insults be hurled by Upnd cadres on this site I can believe that Upnd are the ones provoking violence and then play victims

  44. The problem with Lungu is that he doesn’t see the violence when it involves PF, his mouth is always sealed when PF cadres are brutalizing there friends. When it involves other party’s he opens his mouth very wide to condemn the opposition.

  45. others have earned the title “The Special one” but him he seems to embrace the title “THE STUPID HUMBLE ONE”

  46. It seems Up And Down Party have hire Tongas to attack PF and EL at all cost no matter whatever good intention he might have. Soon Sonta results will manifest in a big victory and you shall cry foul.

  47. THANK YOU GOD YOU ARE THE FINAL DECIDER. THANK YOU FOR BEING FAITHFUL TO ZAMBIA NO MATTER WHAT WIND COMES YOU WILL RULE OVER THEM. SHAME THE DEVIL IN JESUS’S NAME.

  48. In Southern province,govt funds are being misused and you are instead victimizing the police who are innocent.Lungu you are losing votes because of your so called friendship with ps simuchoba.Funny enough the defended belong to the opposition.Officers Ngulube and others are PF sympathisers and it is a loss on PF……Shu shus are not informing you well.Wake up !

  49. Commander in Chief of the armed forces. Are the police part of the armed forces. Nibacivilliani! Tomorrow you will tell us the police are independent? Yet you issue instructions to them?

  50. The operational orders of every constable are clear: TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER. Hence the constable, the station commander, the district commander, the provincial commissioner and the so-called Inspector General all know and understand this basic function of the police. There is absolutely no room for the commander in chief to instruct the police to perform a basic function unless he has nothing to do or the entire chain of command is dysfunctional!

  51. I shudder to think of a wife batterer (sp), an employee abuser and a man with of vulgar language near state house!!!

    • People its yourselves to judge from the two. Don’t depend on what these bloggers are saying. Count them and analyze the language they use. From them you”ll know which party is violent. They are a sample of what is on the ground.

  52. A youth was attacked yesterday in Lusaka for wearing a Upnd t/shirt by PF thugs. He has since died at Levy Mwanawasa hospital.
    +++++++++
    God deliver Zambia from violence. Protect your people who has endorsed to vote for HH. God, you who answers by fire and thunders from heaven, visit the iniquity of the killers of this young man and may his blood forever cry vengeance and exact precise and enduring revenge to the third and even twentieth generations of the progeny of these killers. God Lord, may these murderers die an excruciating death and their lives be wretched, grievous and tormented with multiple sorrows, pains, anguish, famish, hunger, disease and hell experience. God do it for Zambia and avenge the death of this young man.
