Copperbelt Students back Lungu

Share

Student from across the Copperbelt have today launched the Students for ECL Copperbelt Chapter which will galvanise votes for President Edgar Lungu ahead of the August 12 General Elections.

Speaking after close to 450 students from various colleges and  universities marched through Kantanta Street in Kitwe with placards, Copperbelt University students representative Cyprian Musenge said students on the Copperbelt endorse the candidature of President Lungu because of the change that has been seen in the education sector over the 10 year rule by the PF and President Lungu’s leadership.

And Zambia Students Union Secretary General Isaac Mwanza who graced the launch of the Copperbelt student movement urged students to support the tested leadership of President Lungu which has continued to ensure education infrastructure is developed in colleges and universities.

Mr Mwanza, who is also a Governance Activist, said the change that students must be looking forward to is not about wanting to change a individuals but the kind of change that affects their lives.

President Lungu has brought real change to the education by building more universities, colleges and schools thereby reducing the distances students and pupils have to walk to schools and increasing more space to students.

And Meanwhile, Students for ECL National Coordinator Isaiah Mambwe said students countrywide are rallying behind President Lungu because he is the ideal candidate for this election.

Mr Mambwe said the country will see more education facilities being upgraded once President LUNGU is re-elected.

Other students unions which endorsed President LUNGU are those from Mukuba University, ZIBSIP, Kalulushi Nursing College, Luanshya Business College, Kitwe College of Education, Technical Vocational Training College and the Northern Technical College.

  1. I do not see masked up students here. Ba Given Lubinda where are you to comment and condemn ECL for this careless display of disregard to covid health guidelines? I am sure these students are those privileged to have accessed bursaries.

  2. The most useless slave during American Slave was the house nigger..he thought was better than other slaves (blacks) because he used to clean Master’s dirty. Even used to , Master I know these people…
    A University or college student supporting Your F is strange. We can only speculate that these are plants ! A real student!

  3. UPND must stop organisers of this. They are really changing narrative that should make us win hearts of the youth

  4. Only PF would reduce students mixed in with hoodlums to this…we didnt see such in UNIP or MMD…this is what happens when you have foooooools like Bowman for MPs.

  8. Now PF is really getting desperate, surely you cannot parade a bunch of countable young people and claim the entire Copperbelt students are backing President Lungu. This is a desperate move and poorly organized. Please stop embarrassing the president with such mediocrity.

  9. Most of the students are writing exams, that’s why it’s a small crowd but come August 12 wina azalila.

  10. The are over 12000 (twelve thousand students) at the Copperbelt University
    450 support Edgar Lungu and you report it as a head line?

  11. Meanwhile utupuba tu upnd especially twaku diaspora tuletalika. I Warned you f00Is that kaizar was now on the ground. Come August a few thugs who have been insulting our president will face the law. There is that one who claims to be uncle ruphia bandas grandson and yet the ugly bab00n looking boy was rejected by the banda family

  12. Lungu is better devil for students than HH. He will sale the universities. Guy cant just be trusted.

  13. We must never break the chain. Hakainde has nothing to show for when it comes to leadership. As a student at Nortec, will give Lungu my vote.

  14. Our country is safer in hands of Edgar than ulya ubumbi. We need students like this to support govt than chancers

  15. This is what am talking about…PF bandits are very strong on the ground not online….and this will make a huge difference August 12…..online Diasporans dont even vote

  17. This kind has never ever happened in the history of this country. Wonder how much money was spent on these hopeless chaps. PF created so much misery they can now cow down students. Only in communist countries do students replace their mental faculties for propaganda. Shame. This is just too obvious and tells you something is gravely wrong.

  18. Ba upnd you amaze me. Only stunts by your supporters are genuine? Learn to respect other peoples views.
    You had a small group of students denouncing the in coming Veep Pro Luo. Did the other camp talk about how small it was?
    Your lack of acceptance causes you to loose elections and eventually fail to accept defeat.
