Zambia Police Service Spokesperson Bonny Kapeso has announced that Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) Lusaka Youth Chairman Chris Chalwe will be summoned to appear before police soon.
This was after the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi lodged in a formal complaint against MMD members who allegedly threatened to gang-rape her.
Mr Kapeso said police have opened a docket and the cadres will be summoned to appear before police soon.
Mr Chalwe on Tuesday last week threatened to “gang rape” Ms Nawakwi unless she stopped criticising President Rupiah Banda’s leadership ahead of next year’s elections.
Mr Chalwe, singled out Ms Nawakwi for attacking Banda’s leadership. “We are going to gang rape Nawakwi if she continues attacking the president,” said Chalwe last Tuesday.
The MMD youth chairman is also currently facing assault charges for beating journalists last year.
Thats how the Police should behave; Proffessional like. Not Kabonde like! Let that Chalwe chap realise that he is not above the law! Atase! Deal with him and ask him how he would feel if someone threatened to gang ra.pe his wife!! Ukutumpa!
Iwe Kapeso, is Chalwe so special that you have to make arrangements for him to report to the police? Just say you are waiting for RB to tell you the next step.
send him to jail and sentence him to 77 times 77 years of gang-yakumbuyo
kabonde should also be charged for encouraging law breakers.Lets take issues which affect the nation very serious.If kabonde was normal he can not encourage raping women.It can also happen to his daughter or his wife.So watch out for law breakers like kabonde and chalwe.modern society is busy working hard to eradicate some evil whilst kabonde is for it.shame.
Chalwe! Are those threats coming from a Leaders mouth? Kabonde we trust you will do a thorough job.
There is no smoke without fire…as long as RB does not disassociate himself from these dirty threats, MMD will be held responsible for whatever happens to Nawakwi.
All leaders are subject to criticism. The bigger the head the heavier the blows. RB is not above it.
They should have arrested Chalwe just after he said those annoying words. They had to wait for the post to condemn them and Nawakwi’s formal complaint. The police should be able to do their job without being told what to do….
The other day we were discussing the DEGREE qualification for one to stand for Republican Presidency.Most said we had no problem with that clause. But our worry was that inspite of having PHD holders and even professors in the MMD government, we still see some of these leaders either involve themselves or encourage others to insult innocent women as a way of promoting MMD. So what use is a degree if you include gang rape in your tactics? You not different from the Kaponyas and you degree is as good as toilet paper.
This is a positive development. Such behaviour should not be tolerated from anybody. MMD should expel this thug from the party.
Mr Bonny Kapeso, your professionalism is highly appreciated. Last week the suspect IG of Police Kabonde said threatening violence was not a crime and you immediately issued a statement to the contrary quoting the relevant law. The only problem is that your stand on this case might cost you your job because we know that the president has an interest in it. Lock up the thug and his accomplices until the case is disposed off. This MMD/ UNIP pact survives on lawlessness.
In another development, Zambia President H.E.Rupiah Banda has vehemently defended Chalwe that he was just reacting to Nawakwi. “These (gang rapists) might be reacting to the words, the insults that were made against me by the young woman (Nawakwi). Remember Nawakwi said it was madness for Rupiah to hike the fuel prices,” said Rupiah.
Did I read somewhere that this MMD thug called Chris Chalwe is 42 years old? And he is a youth leader? MMD has really become an appendage of UNIP. Remember that in UNIP anyone beyond the age of 35 years could still be taken to be a youth.
He needs to go to Jail and see if he will manage to rape all those inmates.
**== Either of the two officers above, assuming the police spokesman is an officer not an attaché, look and appear more compitent to be the IG than the current let down at the helm.
:d/ Mr. Chalwe if you live by the gun thug you die by it as well, unless you seek the Lord Jesus and repent o:-)
