Video Footage of HH and President Lungu’s Motorcade incident in Mongu

  1. Clearly the UPND convoy gives way in this video. The Police may have not been expecting a clear route so they may have been caught unawares to find another convoy on the road. Shouldn’t the government be looking at the state of that road rather than crying over HH not giving way? It’s just too narrow a road such that even legal overtaking seemed to be at great risk for any road user.

    • Whatever you think about Edgar Lungu he is the head of state if a police car is signalling you to move out of the way you must obey the instruction!
      That motorcade moves very fast and the overzealous UPND cadres hanging on HH’S motorcade were dangling with death imagine if onebof them fell off.
      Having said that what were the police thinking by moving so close to those vehicles?
      This incident has provided 3 things
      1. The stupidity of politicians
      2. Naivity of police
      3. That there is no need for heavy presidential security – otherwise if Lungu needed protection anyone who wanted to harm him would have done so easily!

    • This is the only road leading to the Royal Village, it is in a very bad state, there were hundreds other motorists and thousands of road users on foot etc on the material day. Maybe for once the police played a professional role by not blocking traffic throughout just to allow the President’s convoy to pass thereby avoiding an accident as everyone rushes to get there in time.

      From the video the only incident is when one of the police cars swerves towards the UPND vehicle almost leading it to career off the road. Otherwise everyone seems not to mind.
      There is no major incident here. Time to move on.

    • This was a sad incident but what is hh really thinking?? he shall remain in denial and will only realise that in 2022 when ECL again beats him pants down, this man is running mad now

    • The best video I have seen in a long Time. Viva HH, Viva UPND. Very mature & objective reporting here. Keep up the great work!

    • We are obviously seeing different things in the video. You can clearly see the first police vehicle try to force the first vehicle off the road which the driver refuses to obey, then the second police vehicle goes in with a lot more force which almost succeeds in forcing the vehicle to give way but also fails. The UPND cadres were disrespectful.

    • Ok. Now we have seen the evidence. There were TWO police sweeper cars and HH’s convoy did not stop. Furthermore, HH’s convoy has a man riding against Road Traffic Regulations and should have been fined for unsecured loading of passengers and endangering lives.
      The sweeper vehicle tries to stop HH’s convoy but they continue moving. If this was the US President, UPND would either be mourning the death of their leaders or be visiting them in prison.
      It is good that police acted with restraint against this dastardly provocation.

      Kakoma lied.

    • Someone needs to slap the delusion out of Hecky Hecky No! The guy is clearly deranged and needs medication. For once I salute Zambians for seeing the lunacy in this toddler. Zambians have decidedly refused to be ruled by a schizophrenic (ishilu) for the 5th time. KK would call him $tupid IDI0T!

    • That vehicle which has an eagle on the number plate which President Of Zambia Lazy has its window wide open…I mean how does a VIP travel like that, State House security detail is just useless…that window should have been shut by the driver whether Lazy liked it or not!!

    • CLEARLY, THIS IS STUP1D ARROGANCE BY HH AND HIS SUPPORTERS. THIS ARROGANCE MUST BE STOPPED. HH AD HIS STUP1DITY CANNOT BE ALLOWED IF IT WERE IN THE WEST. IN FACT IN THE WEST THE SECURITY WINGS PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT WOULD SHOT THEM DOWN FOR ENDANGERING THE LIFE OF THE LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT. IF THE LAW WILL BE SOFT WITH HH, HE IS GOING TO BRING BLOODSHED IN ZAMBIA. EVEN AN IDI0T WOULD KNOW THAT HIS AIM IS TO DIVIDE THE COUNTRY. AND THE EARLIER THEY DEAL WITH HIS ILLEGAL ACTS THE SAFER FOR THE COUNTRY. HH IS NOT MISBEHAVING FOR ANYBODY’S INTEREST BUT FOR HIS SELFISH INTEREST. PLEASE, DEAL WITH THIS STUP1D IDI0T BEFORE HE DIVIDES ZAMBIA.

    • @1.3 IF YOU TRULY LIVE IN THE UK (AS SOME OF THE FLAG LABELS ARE FAKE), YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE POLICE WOULD HAVE SHOT DEAD THE DRIVERS OF HH’s CONVOY AND SOME OF THE OCCUPANTS. THEY SIMPLY CANNOT LATE THE SITUATION WHERE THE PRIME MINISTER’S OR THE QUEEN’S LIFE IS ENDANGERED. THEY WOULD RATHER SHOT DEAD THE DRIVERS OBSTRUCTING THE WAY AND LATER STERNLY THE LAW DEALS WITH WHOEVER TOLD THEM TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD WHEN THEY KNEW THAT THE PRIME MINISTER OR THE QUEEN HAD A PROGRAMME THAT COVERS THE PARTICULAR ROAD. ECL WON THE ELECTIONS WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT. JUST LIKE THE MAJORITY (FOR THAT MATTER) OF AMERICANS DO NOT AGREE TRUMP WON THE ELECTIONS- BUT HE IS PRESIDENT AND NO ONE SHOULD STAND ON HIS PATH. PERIOD.

    • HH ABANTU BALIMUNYA (LET’S NOT SAY UKUMULUKA) TABAMUFWAYA. AND WHY HE IS SO ARROGANT IS THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT THINK A NEW COMER SUCH AS ECL CAN BEAT HIM HANDS DOWN. ECL WAS THE LATE MICHAEL SATA’S STUDENT. YOU CAN NEVER BEAT MCS NEITHER CAN YOU, HIS STUDENT? MAYBE IF THE TONGAS CAN FIND ANOTHER UPND LEADER- HE MIGHT WIN. BUT, KACINYENYENYE MUMA TEBELA- THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE.

  2. The Supreme Leader HH of the UPND and his vice GBM did not only disrespect the Litunga of the Lozi people but also the Lozi people and most importantly the Republican President of Zambia Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu by leaving before the procession ended…Let the terrorist party UPND try this stint in other parts of the country we see how it will work…

    • IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THEY CAN’T DO IT. NIUKOKWINE BABA CHONGA NA BALLPEN YAMANENEKELA KU WESTERN PROVINCE. NORTHERN, LUAPULA, EASTERN, CB, MUCHINGA, ETC, KUTI BABALANGA AMA MANNERS.

  3. Terrorist is a strong word to use if you are a Christian. Let us learn to love one another. Tell me if Jesus can call HH a terrorist and Lungu HIS son.
    Truly Jesus love them all and you hate one and hate the other. Jesus loves you. Don’t bring the hate in your heart to the people but trust GOD. Sometimes prayers save you from hate.
    I love President Lungu and HH because GOD created them and died for them and me. How about you , my brother

    • Jesus called Herod a fox in Luke 13:32 : He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’

    • @5 ARE YOU THAT IGNORANT? GOD DID NOT DIE FOR ANYONE. GOD SENT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR HUMANITY. PLEASE, READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF. DON’T LET ANYONE READ AND INTERPRET THE BIBLE FOR YOU. THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR THAT JEHOVAH GOD SENT HIS BELOVED SON TO EARTH TO SAVE MANKIND. PLEASE, REVISIT YOUR BIBLE STUDIES.

  4. I last used that road in 2005 & it doesn’t look like anything has been done to it since then!

    Granted HH & Co should have given way to ECL, issues in court or otherwise, he is the (acting) president.

    My gripe however concerns the heavily armed police/paramilitary officers with machine guns, bandoliers etc, like they were going to war, surely a more discreet security presence would make more sense, especially if the people love him as much as the PF claim they do…

    • Presidential security detail bwana has nothing to do with people love. There are UPND supporters who could shed blood for their HH, even one is enough to send Zambia mourning the death of another President in office. We cannot take chances.

  5. Zambia this cannot be happening. Spoiling what was meant to be a celebration and a ceremony. This is supposed to be Zambia promoting not only tourism but culture and heritage. Do we even know what “Multiculturalism” is? It’s a fundamental characteristic of the Zambian heritage and identity. Zambians celebrating the gift of one another’s presence and work hard to respect pluralism and live in harmony. This is very disappointing and not sure what kind of leadership we are exhibiting especially to our future generations. We have tourists from around the world including domestic tourists we are trying to woo. Instead they get this showmanship. This definately out-shined the Kuomboka Ceremony and The Litunga people. We need to be respectful and cannot simply behave as we wish just because…

  6. Why was the Route not cleared for Lungu’s Motorcade to pass thru alone? Why didn’t Lungu’s Protocol Officials phone HH’s Protocl Officials to advise that the Road will be closed to traffic from such time to such time? Where were the Policemen on Patrol? Where were motor bikes and their sirens? Lungu’s Vehicle Window was open so that Lungu could have a clear while HH was being assassinated .Lungu and KZ are Sadist who want to see blood flow. The idea was to side swipe HH’s Vehicle so that it could overturn and kill him. Thank God HH and GBM are safe for now. Expect more KZ desperate measures as the Petition is finally lodged with ICJ. Illegitimacy is painful and costly.Wait and see.

  7. Why? That’s irresponsible and sailing toward the (tsunami) storm. Give honour to those it is due , Knowing full well that tomorrow it will be yours of course with patience & wisdom.

  8. The people of Southern, Western and North Western provinces want freedom from the rest of Zambia because they don’t want to be ruled by others other than their own HH. There are only two options available, either civil war or secession because even if the petition is heard they will not accept anything but a win for HH. The best that can happen here is secession although this will later lead into further wars that will border on boundaries. If on the other hand HH was eliminated, there will be riots and civil unrest in these areas which may force Lungu to unleash the army and then what follows thereafter is anybody’s guess. This is what is known as catch 22, where if one has an ailment and to treat it the medicine prescribed will bring in another but more serious ailment – so one has to…

    • You are dull, there has always been split loyalties. Even in America you have democrats and republicans. It is that simple. Go eat something you are hungry.

    • @11 DON’T CHEAT YOURSELF. IN THE FIRST PLACE, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE TO ASSASINATE HH. WHO IS HE? HAS HE EVER WON ANY ELECTIONS TO EVEN CONSODER HIM AS WORTHY? SECONDLY, THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY FIGHTING YOU ARE CALLING WAR IN EASTERN, MUCHINGA, NORTHERN, LUAPULA, ETC. FIGHTING FOR WHAT? FOR COW DUNG. YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS. THAT CHOPPING OF EACH OTHERS’ HEADS WOULD BE CONFINED TO BARBARIAN PROVINCES NOT CIVILISED PROVINCES, MUNYAMATA. THAT IS IN YOUR WET DREAMS.

    • Nzelu, the split in america is not on tribal lines such as here where HH derives incense from the three provinces.

  9. @Barabas:your are a lost soul.we know thats how all upnd cadres and hh himself think.one wonders why your hh sticks to GBM like a lice when a bemba or easterner cannot be president of upnd.continue with tribal politics and you will see if 3.5 provinces will ever win hh the presidency!!THE POLITICAL LINE IS CLEARLY DRAWN IN ZAMBIA NOW.IN 2021 US IN 6.5 PROVINCES WILL ONCE MORE VOTE FOR PF AND HAND HH A 6TH LOSS!!HH WILL CRY UNTIL BLOOD COMES OUT OF HIS EYES AND NOBODY WILL CARE ABOUT IT!!!GO PF GO!!

  10. Strange! The Zambian President has continued to toralate the busheet from this fellow even at the expense of his own life and the lives of his security personel. The police cars driving at high speed. Imagine what would have happened to police and the boy who was hagging by the door if the police had lost control and rammed into the other car?

    Why did the police sweeper car not clear the ***** from the road?

    • @14 THIS IS WHAT IS SHOCKING ME, TOO. THIS TOLERANCE BY ECL IS GOING BEYOND PLANET EARTH AND IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS FOR CITIZENS. HH IS NOT EVEN LEGITIMATELY, ELECTED IN HIS OWN TONGA PARTY, LET ALONE HAS HE EVER AS A COUNCILLOR? HH HAS NO MANDATE FROM ANY ZAMBIAN NOT EVEN IN HIS PROVINCE. ECL MAY NOT HAVE BEEN VOTED IN THE 3 PROVINCES, BUT, THE MAJORITY OF 7 PROVINCES GAVE HIM A MANDATE TO LEAD ZAMBIA. HE CAN USE THIS MANDATE TO DISCIPLINE THIS COW-DUNG-EATING CHAP BEFORE ZAMBIA IS SET ON FIRE BY THIS LUNATIC CALLED HH.

  11. This can only happen where rule of Law is relaxed. If the case is in the courts why bulldoze your way and sneak into a gathering of this magnitude. The BRE must congratulated for going ahead with the programme without deterrence by the power hungry boyz.
    Boyz shall be boyz.
    It seems to me that real opposition in Zambia is yet to be born.
    Upcoming politicians sharpen your tools and usher in issue oriented arguments.

  12. That was uncharacteristically stuupid of UPND. Imagine that chap by the car door waving off the Presidential motorcade!! I think this is really going too far.

    • @16 THE CHAP WAS DIPPING HIS HEAD DEEP INTO HH’s SH1T-H0LE FOR NOTHING. I COULDN’T DO THAT EVEN FOR HALF A MILLION POUNDS. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE POLICE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THESE CHAPS- WHATEVER, THEY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND POSSIBLY JAILED FOR THEIR F00LISH ACTS.

  13. The presidential motorcade should not overtake because it’s expected to travel on a clear road. The IG says that road rules demand that we give way, yes we should give to fire engines, ambulances etc, but for the president the rule is CLEAR THE ROAD 100% as both lanes belong to his motorcade at the time he is passing. So the cars on the motorcade don’t observe any traffic rules, they don’t stop at traffic lights, check points, no speed limits etc. The safety of the President is in the hands of state security. Thank God that no one was hate, either way it was going to very bad for the country. If HH was harmed, imagine what could have happened in western province with all the support he has, BUT worst off all if the president was harmed (God forbid), by today the economy could have had a…

  14. contin
    could have had a serious bashing of unimaginable magnitude. HH has his own security but they are subject to state security that guards President Lungu. So state security can block and clear the road for ECL to pass but HH’s security can’t block and clear the road for HH to pass. They just need to make sure that he is safe while observing traffic rules. I hope we have all learnt a lesson and this shall not repeat itself. Plan the President’s passage and ensure that he has the road to himself, then allow the rest of us to also use the road safely including HH and other leaders regardless of their political stance. Only then shall we enjoy our freedoms. God bless ECL and God bless HH.

  15. please my fellow Christian try to think before you talk, a coz some of the words you’re using are not good ,we can’t build Zambia by insulting and fighting each other .READ MARK 9:38-43; 45; 47-48. please, please get your Bible and READ .We, er calling ourselves Christian nation .So as a christian repent for those insults try to preach LOVE and UNITY .ECL and HH are all ZAMBIANS .It’s one Zambia one nation
    .

    • @ mike thanks insults should not be part of our vocabulary. We can debate without insulting no one deserves to be insulted, please do not overstep your liberties by insulting others whom God has made in his own image. You debate and criticize, but do it with civility. Mike God bless you.

    • @19 PLEASE, CHECK HOW MANY ZAMBIAN FLAGS ARE ON THE BLOG. ZAMBIANS IN ZAMBIA ARE MOSTLY CHRISTIANS. WHILE ZAMBIAN OTS OVERSEAS ARE REALLY NOT

  16. Clearly from the video, ZP failed to provide security to the president and the IG has to pay the price. Seriously that convey of HH must be taken off the road with swift and precision moves by security. We can’t continue with this unlawfulness from this Kachema and company.

  17. These two hopeless political parties are interpreting the video according to which party they belong to. No maturity, no objectivity

  18. This is how it is when you deep down you know you stole from someone. You become powerless because you are reminded you stole, you stole it haunts.

  19. This is how it is when you know deep down your heart that you stole from someone. You become powerless because you are reminded you stole, you stole, it haunts. Never deprive anyone from something thinking you are clever. God who sees in secret punishes.

  20. I totally I agree with both Uncle Charles and Steve. Bane we are in the time of Lent or Kwaleshima (in Bemba), on Friday , April 14th, it will be Good Friday and on Sunday, ninshi Bwacha Mwipasaka (Easter Sunday). Be Happy All and May The Almighty God Bless The Great Nation Of Zambia, Me, I am apolitical, meaning that I am not interested in politics but I like reading this online newspaper (LT) and I really love to check the comments, which are the most interesting part of my reading LT. Peace YO!!

  21. Our parties of PF and UPND should be competing on issues ,ideologies and vision not on this useless ego driven popularity contests and road supremacy.
    Dimwits who can’t even see nor care how bad that road looks.

  22. ZAMBIANS READ THE ZAMBIAN EYE AND ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG ON THE ON GOING ACTIONS OF PF GOVERNMENT TO ASSASSINATE HH AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY BY PF CADRE POLICE AS THEY TEAGAS AND BESIEGE THE HOUSE.ZAMBIANS, READ ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG THAT HH AND FAMILY HAVE BEEN BESIEGED AT HIS HOUSE BY PF CADRE POLICE, WITH AN INTENTION TO ASSASSINATE HH AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY. THIS IS AN INSTRUCTION FROM PRESIDENT LUNGU. HOW CAN WE BE SO DOCILE TO ALLOW ASSASSINATION OF FELLOW ZAMBIANS WHILE WE SEE AND FEEL THIS BARBARIC ACTION FROM PF GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE TO DEFEND OURSELVES AND THE DEMOCRACY IN OUR NATION. LET US RISE UP TO DEFEND OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, OUR DIGNITY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE RESPECT OF EACH OTHER IN OUR DIVERSE OPINION. KILLING ONE ANOTHER IS NOT A SOLUTION. TAKE IT SERIOUS LUNGU WANTS TO KILL HH, GBM,…

  23. Njimbu, a person from any province can be president of zambia,
    Sharon lozi ceremony is not for privileged few it is in essence a public event, so antone can come.

    We have embarrassed ourselves on the world stage by acting like 2 year olds. You want tourism and this is what will be reported overseas not this wonderful ceremony.
    Zambia..the real africa……thats what we are becoming corruption, infighting, tribalism. At least we went 50 years as a pezceful nation in africa

  24. That’s how close we were to catastrophe. We should be thankful to the almighty God that the intelligence team didn’t react to those provocations cause my goodness!!Zambia would have never been the same

  25. If it be true that HH was chosen by YAHWEH to be president of Zambia I don’t see why they same God would allow someone else to rule lnsted of him. HH remember the promise to Abrams of the son. If it is true as you are claiming, just wait for YAHWEH said I have good plans for you and remember. You can not force God to do your way. If truly you are a Christian you will recall what the word of YAHWEH is saying. Respect the leaders for they are there with permission. From YAHWEH. I am sorry for you HH because you are surrounded by wrong people who don’t love you. My advice is accept that at any given time. Will be one president and this time it’s ECL

  26. It would very interesting to learn about the conversation in that car which HH was. The road is indeed bad but as per the law, the UPND convoy should have simply stopped to give way and nothing else would would have happened. Please next time do not allow the president to drive on those bad roads especially were there are so many people with different political views. Let the man fly his way to such occasions. HH and his company must just calm down and accept that for now Lungu is president and nothing will change this fact, as sad as it may sound to the supporters.
