By Mumbi Phiri
We have noted with amazement the levels of panic and name dropping that has engulfed the UPND to the extent of party secretary general Mr Stephen Katuka issuing conflicting statements. It is first and foremost important that we respect institutions that govern this country. The level of disrespect in the UPND hierarchy towards President Edgar Lungu and his office leaves a bitter taste. It is not in our culture to publicly address elders and those in high office (especially the President) on first name basis. This speaks of a level of bitterness and disregard among upnd leaders for the very office they aspire to one day run.
In his statement, Mr Katuka accuses President Lungu of questioning why UPND cadres escorted their leader to the police. I challenge him to show the nation where and when President Lungu mentioned UPND in his statement? The president categorically used the word “citizens’. Such naivety by the UPND is symbolic of guilt and panic.
His queries over police presence at the funeral of the late UPND cadre yesterday are neither here nor there. It should give him comfort because police were there to ensure law and order prevails. We have seen how reckless, untamed, unruly and destructive upnd cadres become during funeral processions. Last time around they ran amok in the streets of Lusaka and damaged public and private property. If he has further queries on that, he should engage the police.
We are surprised that today Mr Katuka questions the President`s and accuses him of instructing police to man the funeral when he has been at the forefront asking for police protection in upnd activities. The President is Commander-in Chief. Mr Katuka should be glad that police ensured a peaceful burial of the late UPND cadre and that is what every Zambian of goodwill expected.
Demanding that President Lungu steps down is a clear admission of panic and defeat before we even go to the 2021 polls by Mr Katuka and his fellow leaders in the UPND. We are in a democratic dispensation and as such, Zambian citizens by law are the ones that ELECT a President. There is no handover on a silver platter as was the case in UPND in 2006 when power was handed over to Mr Hichilema. That culture will not be brought to statehood. Mr Katuka and his party should know better.
UPND should allow police to conduct its investigations exhaustively. We urge Mr Katuka to be exemplary in his statements and avoid being prejudiced. If he has knowledge of the shooters as indicated by Mr Hichilema that snipers were placed in the crowd on that fateful day, let him assist police in identifying the killers.
In conclusion, Mr Katuka should ask himself why it should be that each time Mr Hichilema embarks on a gathering or is summoned by police, innocent lives must be lost. Why is it that people have to die around him in very suspicious circumstances?
When PF leaders are summoned, they ensure peace prevails among those offering them solidarity. Why is it the opposite with Mr Hichilema? Two of these incidents are well documented with videos taken and released by UPND cadres within minutes of the killings. It is our utmost hope that our colleagues in the UPND will sober up and desist from name dropping, finger pointing and panicking.
Let me conclude by reminding the UPND Deputy Secretary General Patrick Mucheleka that I have always cautioned against placing other people’s children in harm’s way. So to Mucheleka let me repeat that Politicians must use their own biological children as frontline political activists and not other people’s children. Stop those crocodile tears, enough is enough! Umungulu wakwa HH waingila muli Mucheleka nama cadre bakwe mwaipaisha Nsama Nsama Chipyoka and Joseph Kaunda.
We need to know the truth
Guilt written all over her face
What a du.ll ugly woman……even my my grade 7 son can laugh at the points this Muppet gives …..
Ati
“……It is not in our culture to publicly address elders and those in high office (especially the President)….”
Was this not the same Muppet who called
“…..lungu , come here ..”
while drunk on stage and got suspended ?????
We know these statements
What investigation mama, we have never heard any report on gassing, the UNZA student who died, or the killings from 2015 who have been short by the police of members from the ruling. So what investigations are Police conducting who are even afriad of cadres from the ruling party with some cadres even having the audacity to enter the country’s highest central police station and beat the holy shit out of them and get away from the courts of law at a K150 charge that’s equivalent to a bag of melie meal, r those the same police who where slapped like shit carrying out the same investigation then we have no police at all but a circus we only haven’t seen the clown yet
Tombiso Daka point

Who gassed us???
Mayo just shut up iwe kwindi. Chinyo chobe
Akarofu…
Did you read report Kanganja failed to your Edgar? Do you know why he failed to submit by deadline? Utumattako.
What panic? Only criminals would think others are panicking?
The guilty are always afraid and quick to open mouth as we have seen from upnd. What are they scared of? Why can’t they be patient for the investigation to be concluded and then give their views? Do not worry soon we will have the evidence to take further action against any of those found wanting. We know that there are some mercenaries being funded by a well known opposition party.
Ba mumbi please why don’t you just shut your beak.
What investigations are you talking about? Ask your murderer friends Lungu , Kampyongo and Kanganja to name the snipers.
You think the Zambians want to continue hearing the hogwash from your stinking mouths?
We want the truth and nothing else.We have had enough of this nonsense.
I WISH AUGUST 2021 WAS NEXT WEEK.
Can’t PF find a better Writer than Mumbi Phiri? She is just waffling and doesn’t under that HH’s supporters have a Right to accompany their leader to the Police H/Q, Funerals,Weddings etc. Mumbi Phiri should tell Nation who gave the Police Orders to shoot unarmed and peaceful demonstrators with live Ammunition? Prosecutor Nsama Nsama and Joseph Kaunda were shot in cold blood by the Police.The Police Command must be held accountable for these murders.
The PF police had 2 plans…..
Plan 1
summon HH and warn his followers away , if no support turns up , lock him up until the new year on a very bogus charge unrelated to that farm, to break him.
Plan 2
If his support turns up , execute some of them and hype the blame on him for allowing his followers to come to the police.
His followers came so plan 2 was put into action , only nsawa was also executed by a bullet meant for UPND…
If nsawa was not murdered , the life’s of UPND supporters executed would not matter…..

“…The guilty are always afraid and quick to open mouth as we have seen from upnd. What are they scared of? Why can’t they be patient for the investigation to be concluded and then give their views? …..”
Should we also not comment on the gassing of our people , because we are still waiting for that investigation to be concluded ??????
She lacks both wisdom and education, now that’s a terrible combination. Her spoken English is not good either. God gave her chance to expand but she is still within her limits. She has to blame UPND or HH, at every turn. She may not even know that there is no law in the country that stops cadres from going to offer solidarity to a leader. She will rather transfer the shooting issue from Police to HH, according to her, then the appointing authority will notice her for further favors
Pakanawa fye tells alot…
Mama, please do not be heartless!
As a woman, you know the pain of having a womb! We go through period pains, carry baby for 9 months, go through labour. We push out baby with pain and look forward to a live baby.
Now tell me how you would feel, you deliver a live baby and then minutes later, someone kills your baby! You are still having your post pain labour, bleeding and you see your baby dead! The killer is watching your pain!
How would you feel?
Please be compassion and behave like a mother above politics.
Likezo Masuwa PF type of politics has made her forget how she should naturally feel as a woman.
The thinking that Edgar Lungu is elder to everybody in the country is very strange. Maybe it is a language problem, any way she rarely makes sense,
Hey, who has stopped the police to do their investigations?? Is that what everyone is crying for??? And Why, appealing to the UPND????! Yaba! You are just drunk, maybe!!!
Bana is right to call for the conclusion of investigations. And so is Hh…the shooter was in the crowd otherwise police gun fire could have caused lots of death and injuries.
Learn to shut up sometimes
John Ian Shamamba tell this jezebel boi
Embalmed face in advance.
If the way you study UPND is the way you study the economy, we could be in a better position as a country, not Aya amafi tulimo.
Everyday, the only thing upnd knows is complaining about everything…. To them no one in the government does anything meaningful. Shame
Lisa Liywali you don’t have brains for you to support such rubbish and mediocrity
If you are eating with these mwankoles wena Liywalii just but there is the Àlmighty God who knows everything.He knows even your thought and evry word beforèyou utter it and oneday you mumbi and the entire pf who are killing citizens will stand before the Almighty God the Creator and give an account of evry word you ever uttered and every act.Enjoy now Liywalii with Lungu and if you dont repent and fight for justice hell is waiting for you
Lisa Liywali do you remember what I told you last time? I said in that your head there is nothing completely you are dull you need a brain scan, wamona ka?
Let us call a spade by its real name, a spade. Like the leader of the opposition UPND, hh, said, the sharp shooter was in the crowd, amongst cadres not the police. They knew the victim(s). They (shooters) were there with one objective: to eliminate anyone they perceived as opponent of their party.
I remember at one time GBM said nga nikalya kanamayo kalai……kkkkkk
They are perpetual complainants … nothing is ever good for them
As UPND have said , there are cameras all over buildings in the sensitive area ,
That should give lungu and his hapless executors sleepless nights of how they are going to concel the footage from surrounding cameras…..
Mafuta pakamenso ni ambi or chinkondya
Madam, please sit down and reflect!
Shallow
Shut up
Allow the law enforcement agencies to do their job …
The PF cadres think covid is a joke. Only one person in that picture is wearing a mask properly and theres no social distancinh.
And Why are people here up voting insults on a woman? Kupena?
If they can be killing us this time, what if they accidentally form Government.
If they can plot schemes whilst they are not in Government, what if they accidentally form Government.
This mean behavior from the upndeads is appalling.
Last time on radio this Mumbi said those MPs who have stayed for a long time in parliament should leave and pave way for the youth, she has no idea that democracy never works that way, she has no idea that in a democracy it’s people’s choice that matters, if people want somebody for 100 years, so be it, you can’t say leave for the youth, the youth have to compete like anybody else, that’s democracy. These guys in PF require a lot of education. Now she says police should be allowed to do investigations. They have been deaths before at the hands of police, this is not the only one, are we supposed to wait for investigations
Please sit down
@Kabelenga Ukutukanaumwanakashi is taboo. We never even mention their private parts because culturally we respect women. Its imbeciles who do such things
Why are Bisa women so ugly? This Mumbi is Nkandu Luo’s niece, the both of them are so ugly, good lord, they give much credence to the notion that people are descended from apes. I mean, looking at this Ugly thing, I swear she is still evolving towards homosapien, the match is still on!
Nako kauwauwa aka atase
How can the police investigate itself? Gayzar Zulu and his gay friends want to cover up the truth!
Has anyone on this platform ever “inspected” the genitalia of Mumbi Phiri to prove that this ugly Zinjanthropus is a female or male, or both? I suspect she is BOTH!
Do people retire from wisdom?
It is not for no reason that UPND is behaving like this. It is an effort to somehow derail the investigations into the shooting and unfortunate killing of Nsama Chipyoka and Joseph Kunda. They are trying to divert public attention from the core issue to some trivial one. Police should not fall prey to this and continue the investigations.
We need to understand the chronology. First Hakainde Hichilema seeks time to appear before police. Then his cadre and some media houses mobilize people from across the country to gather at Lusaka to show solidarity. Then UPND leaders volunteer to be body guards and security guards for HH. Thousands of cadre are ferried to Lusaka in 32 buses. They argue with police and obstruct them from doing their duty. The so called body guards of HH cover their faces to conceal their identity. Firing takes place at a restaurant away from the site of conflict. A bullet hits State Prosecutor Nsama Chipyoka straight in head! Very precise shot, isn’t it? Minutes after the shooting HH comes out and claims that it was a sniper who shot Nsama and Joseph! How can HH be so sure that it was a sniper? Is he an…
Abusing elders and exploiting younger is the character of UPND. It is futile to expect this from the party that is led by a dictator who can go to any extent to fulfil his plan, even killing his own supporter.
Everyone in Zambia knows the true colours of UPND leaders. How characterless they are. How they exploit youths and abuse women. It is nothing but the frustration of being caught and having no way to escape the law. It will continue for some days till the concrete evidence comes out.
Exactly! Why is Hakainde Hichilema and Stephen Kaktuka getting so worked up? Is there anything they want to hide? Why are they not letting the police to conduct thorough investigations? I smell something fishy here.
This is the last ditch desperation to save their skin. What else can we expect from the criminals? But let’s not worry. They will meet their fate soon.
You are expecting too much from the crooks, Madam! Let them say whatever they want to. We know the truth and it shall prevail. The killers will be brought to justice soon. Every Zambian knows who perpetrated and executed the crime. HH will be exposed and face the law.
Please use your own children as frontline political activists and not ferrying other people’s children in 32 buses. Mwasuka mwaipaisha abana besu Nsama Nsama na Joseph Kunda mwe ndoshi sha bantu. Stop those crocodile tears!
How can the polic who supposedly stand accused of the murder of these two innocent souls be allowed to conduct credible investigation .This can only happen under Lungu .By the away Mwaba is back from Ethiopia to plant cassava ?! Zambia has indeed gone to the dogs .
I THINK AT THIS POINT IN TIME,IT ONLY MAKES SENSE WHEN HAKAINDE SPEAKS…..THESE TUMA LITTLE THINGS LIKE KA MUMBI PHIRI SHOULD START THINKING RATIONALLY!
