Lusaka Province Minister and ruling Patriotic Front (PF) Copperbelt Province Mobilisation Chairperson Bowman Lusambo has said that PF members on the Copperbelt will make it impossible for the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) to conduct any business in the province.
Reacting to the alleged harassment that President Lungu was subjected to when he went to Monze, Mr Lusambo said that the UPND leadership has drawn a line and they have clearly chosen their path.
Mr Lusambo said that PF will simply reciprocate the treatment they are subjecting their leader to and carry it out to good measure on the Copperbelt.
And Chilubi Member of Parliament Mulenga Fube has urged the opposition UPND to engage in civilised politics. Mr. Fube said that the unruly conduct of UPND cadres when President Edgar Lungu visited Monze on Saturday must be condemned.
The Chilubi lawmaker said that as Head of State, President Lungu should not be ridiculed as he visits any part of the country on the trajectory of spearheading developmental activities.
Mr Fube’s remarks come in the wake of the hostile treatment of President Lungu by some UPND youths in Monze last Saturday, adding that such conduct if allowed to continue can cause anarchy and disrupt the peace that the country has enjoyed over the years.
And Vision Ambassadors have described as barbaric the behaviour of UPND cadres in Monze. National Coordinator Misheck Kombe said that such an attitude is intolerable in a democratic dispensation.
Mr. Kombe also said that President Edgar Lungu deserves to freely visit any part of the country as he is a Republican President
Below is the full statement Bowman Lusambo’s full statement
THE LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN
By Bowman Chilosha Lusambo
As we celebrate our Heroes and Unity holidays, it is important that we recognize our national heroes, those that have gone before us and those that are still living.
One of our nation’s true heroes living with us today is our Republican President His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu. He is a true hero because he was dully elected by majority Zambians to preside over national affairs and in doing so, he has been a source of inspiration to millions of our citizens.
It is therefore regrettable that the opposition UPND elected to disrespect the Head of State by portraying behavior that is uncalled for when he visited Monze and other districts in Southern Province.
Our colleagues in the UPND ought to reliase that President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is a President for all Zambians and holds the highest public office in the land and he deserves respect
By behaving in that uncouth manner, the UPND leadership has drawn a line and they have clearly chosen their path.
As Copperbelt Province Mobilisation Chairperson, I wish to announce that our members on the Copperbelt will make it impossible for the UPND to conduct any business in the province. We will simply reciprocate the treatment they are subjecting our leader to and carry it out to good measure on the Copperbelt.
So congratulations Jack Mwiimbu, congratulations Hakainde Hichilema and congratulations the UPND. You have just drawn your own lines!
And you say we are a Christian Nation! What a joke.
What makes somebody a hero is what somebody does when he is elected President, a mere election to the office of the Presidency cannot make somebody a hero please.
All economic indicators are negative, how surely does that make somebody a hero, this guy must be a serious joker

SEMBE NIMU ZAMBIA, NI RETIREMENT IN NATIONAL INTEREST.
Once a carder always a carder.
Really?
Unbelievable!
How about using the thinking of those that are blessed with wisdom…..when they go low, we go high!
What good will it be to so called avenge? I cry for mother Zambia! Is this the leadership we deserve? Really? Where is the love?? Has the president asked to be avenged? Please!!
Two wrongs never make a right! Heckling is a form of protest against any displeasure in a democractic dispensation. What a good leader does is to self introspect and address the why! Not revenge.
Lusambo… You have actually just promoted Anarchy. That is not a response you should be making as a political leader.
HH must condemn this behaviour. There is only one president in Zambia and that is Lungu.
It has always been difficult for UPND or opposition to conduct own campaigns.
For Lusambo to commit another murder won’t be a surprise. He is just making the peaceful Lungu look bad, as he did to RB.
Take your words back with immediate effect. You are a fool..Lungu this is what happens when you put uneducated people in such positions. This PF cader is sending the wrong message. Lungu if you care for the people tell this garbage human being to retract his words. This is embarrassing.
Zambia does not belong to this fool.
PF must go
Zambians will vote quietly in 2021. They will elect a leader of their choice as usual. The rest of Zambia is watching.
Really for those complaining and you are disgruntled like me think again,Lusambo is useful *****,Lungu should get more of such,they are helping further decampain him
Anyone hs a constitutional right to express wht they feels in wht ever way they would be heard of. That’s the best way they thot to tell him tht they don’t support him, u can’t force matters. Ask them y they did tht, then they’ll tell u, threatening them ba Lusambo u a worsening the issue.
They don’t support him y force them, cheer him then.
@ Kci you’re right we will vote quietly, watching announcements of results from ZNBC TV, while other TV station analysing the results as coming in from totally centre. We praying for mother Zambia to be peacefully until that day .
This full does not qualify to be called a leader by any measure. And in a normal functioning country, he can’t be anywhere near leadership, totally impossible
This moron is able to say such things because we have an absentee leader on State Hs.
As the ruling Party this was an opportunity to show maturity, unfortunately kaya i mean if what the president experienced was unacceptable then hear them out and yes be angry but also offer leadership… Even those that dont like you, those who insult you, those who dont want you it does not matter you are still there president, your are there Government behave like one.
This is what you get when you bring a street dog to government
Pf must go or zambia dies
If at all Lazy Bum Lungu was a humble person he would have laughed it off but alias he projects his hunger in his clueless bull dog Bowman…in fact he would have gain more points doing it.
UPND SHOULD REAP WHAT THEY SOW
#Chigo! Christianity does not mean accepting crap and torelating anarchist behaviour.
The problem with Tonga’s too much pride for nothing..These are bitter people…
Voetsek
Big brains in the upnd like cornelius should just appologise on behalf of the party,otherwise it will be very difficult for hh to campaing. Every pf stronghood would want to avernge first. The church should step in.
Obviously no idea of what the meaning of hero is, being elected republican president can not make somebody a hero. What makes somebody a hero is what somebody does when he is elected President, a mere election cannot make somebody a hero. It is important that we educate each other here as it is evident that the author of the article is blank.
I agree author must be very blank, and I think even him being appointed Minister he thinks it means being a hero. Heroism comes from what you achieve and success, you can even google , but with evident failure in governance, economy and social life of Zambians, how on earth can this President be called a hero. Are you dreaming, if so, wake up
It was very disrespectful behaviour sponsored by no other than the upnd illiterates. If they have the b.a.l.l.z to boo a president of the nation then why do their d.i.c.ks shrink when they are asked to debate in parliament? Their small things shrink in like a scared snail and then run to courts. The president office requires respect. Tell me one moment when upnd have requested to meet the president to raise issues they have. These uncivilized chimps would rather insult to gain political mileage. Zambian can see through this and will never let them rule. Mark my words. We have been in opposition and never behaved like this against mmd. Disgusting animals
I think they did well to boo him because he is just useless president who has failed lamentably.
They know he never went for projects, he has an agenda of campaigning alone.
He must be taught a lesson until he allows his fellow leaders to also traverse tge landscape of Zambia visiting their party structures in preparedness for next year elections.
PF must go!
HOW CAN A CABINET MINISTER OF THE RULING PARTY UTTER SUCH THREATS TO FELLOW CITIZENS? BY SAYING “As Copperbelt Province Mobilization Chairperson, I wish to announce that our members on the Copperbelt will make it impossible for the UPND to conduct any business in the province”, LUSAMBO HAS MADE EXISTING AND POTENTIAL INVESTORS RE-CONSIDER THEIR INVESTMENT OPTIONS ON THE COPPERBELT BECAUSE OF THE COMING CLASHES BETWEEN PF AND UPND AS PROMISED BY THE MINISTER. LUSAMBO NEEDS SERIOUS COUNSELLING BY THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY. HE IS A MINISTER, NOT A MERE CADRE!!!!!
Politics has gone to the dogs .
THERE GOES KZ THE DF.
Yet he has failed to handle covid 19
HH the sadist will cry in Tonga next year when the silent majority from the nine provinces reject him for being a tribal leader who has hidden the privatisation loot in the paradise papers because of his greedy and bitterness…
These guys are not going to relinguish power without bloodshed. They know what is at stake- Mukobeko!! Mark my words. Give them another five years, we will be using kolobois and imbabula.
Presidents get booed all the time around the world. Nothing strange about that. Especially corrupt, ineffective heads of State get booed a lot. Effective presidents like Magufuli, Kagame hardly get booed. RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT DEMANDED. Even Heroism is earned and not demanded, contrary to what this uneducated thuggish Lusambo is trying to insinuate. Seeking revenge just because your president got booed is childish, thuggish and a sign that you’re not supposed to be anywhere near a public office. Lusambo sounds like a gang member warning a rival gang not to pass through his turf. “If you ever come to our neighborhood we will revenge, cause you insulted our gangster boss.” But then we’re talking about a guy who named his children after the most corrupt president in the…
… history of our country. Not surprised.
UPND danderheads and sycophants always expresses freedom of stupidity which is allowed in a democracy like Zambia
This is the problem, when !diOts are allowed to take up positions in any Government.
B0wman should NEVER be a Government official but a bouncer /security guard at Kawalala maliketi.
What is the meaning of Lusambo?
That is what lungu likes to hear ….
Promises of bloodshed on opposition. He is very happy with his thugs threatening bloodshed.
You should understand, lungu can never win any free and fair election, violence and intimidation are very much his forte……
Don’t even bother asking what type of a leader would tolerate his senior ministers threatening disorder and violence.,….. lungu is nothing but a chawama thug who tries hard with his fake humble persona
When you appoint a Kabova as a minister this is the end result.
Well spoken honourable Lusambo.PF on the Copperbelt is not going to tolerate these primitive behaviours from southern province to infiltrate the back borne of zambia. Uko kwine HH bamwishiba ku southern province.Whether they like it or not Edigar Lungu is the president of zambia and he is going to win next years general election. When we say you are tribalists you refuse .What has your small God HH done for this country from stolen privatisation money. It is in off shore accounts for his wife and children. He participared in plander of national assets and stole money but Upnd and tongas refuse that he never stole any money he was just born a rich man.Upnd should not take zambians for granted as they will ignite fires that they will fail to extinguish. You are the only difficult…

( Continued ) …..You are the only difficult pary in this republic who has no respect or regard for the ruling party.We know you just want a tonga president at all costs. Ican assure your HH will not enter state house.Just imagine loosing elections more than 5 times and you still want him to lead .No convention in 20 years .Does it mean all the people in this tribal grouping are dull and there are no other intelligent people in this tribal grouping apart from Oval shaped head.? You are all Maketulas including MPs as you want hand outs from HH and no wander you are too quite and shy not tell him when he makes blunders.UPND MPs are too dull to debate in parliament and it is either they walk out of parliament or found at the courts Mukose bane.. Politics are not for Babies
I dont know whether it is just me ,I cant stand these pathetic hand gestures .
This Lusambo rabid baboon, has it now contracted COVID-19? Someone must sooner or later shoot this animal.
Let them have a test of their own medicine.. Lusambo teach these bitter Tongas a good lesson so that whenever they feel at acting fool.ishly they will have to think twice. Southern is for all Zambia,not just for bitter Tongas, The President is the President for all Zambia he can visit any part of the country. I thought Tongas are a welcome people who when you visit them they even give you sour milk! HH the de.vil wirshipper has poisoned your hearts with hatred.
Clearly the man is not a leader. Lusambo wants to fan the fire rather than put it out. The calibre of our political leadership is crap
Lusambo is a serious joke. No sense of constructive or civilised politics in him
The monze incident reminds me of KK’s motorcade being pelted with oranges at independence stadium in 1990. The writing is on the wall
You don’t demand respect, it is earned. How can you be respected when you want to campaign alone and you bare your challengers? You will be boohooed like what happened in southern province, more over don’t complain about cadres its you who introduced caderism, they will haunt you. These people are smelling Mukobeko all of them abena Lusambo that is why they want to block opposition from campaigning to show people that they care, we know you now just start preparing Mukobeko is calling.
Really embarrassing to be ruled by Lusambo and Lungu.
President Lungu will be fine. He is a calm character. Unlike Mwiimbu, Lusambo, Kampyongo and Mweetwa, he only speaks when needed. Zambia needs better brains in the ruling and opposition parties.
What do you exopect when you appoint the former Mishanga sellers
Iwe Chi ***hole DEE was every Tonga in monze to boo for you to insult the whole tribe and call them bitter? If you were near me I would kick your**s you son of a **tch.
BaZambia we are stup!d. Who is this k@poli to be behaving like Zambia is his country? Twaifumishe kwisa imbwa iyi? Aba baleshikula ifitimbi and steal ifyakufwala. What does he know about global economics? Tesheti swin@ iwe
That is why it will be very difficult for these cow wrestlers to rule because they are very shallow minded they cant think beyond and they cant tore the line.How can one be sad for 5 years? were on earth,that is pure witchcraft.Tit for tat now,Jack Mwimbu, Gary Nkombo have the muscle to rule upnd but they are purpets.Time to deal with them is now come on Bulldoza its time to pull now.
@ And you wanker are going to deal with them? Just concentrate in arse l1cking of your Endemically Corrupt Leader instead of showing your inbreed 1mbecility. Remember to wash your filthy mouth afterwards .
Lovely Lusambo!! Keep up the good work otherwise you will go back to digging coffins from graves for reselling. Our beloved die hard MMD supporter who could offer his wife to Lungu to bear children for him.
Why avenge a mere show of party simbols with violence? This sign of a shallow and shameless leadership!! A credible leader should be happy the people are greeting each other with party simbols and not machetes like those in pfool!!
Looks like UPND is always setting new trends as if they the one in government while those in government always want to retaliate!
