Southern Province Minister Dr. Edify Hamukale says there are no maneuvers to deny people of Southern Province access to National Registration Cards (NRCs).
In an interview with Chikuni Radio, Dr. Hamukale says he cannot facilitate such scheme against his own people of Southern.
Dr. Hamukale has dismissed allegations that government is trying to disadvantage people of Southern Province from getting NRCs in large numbers as the region is perceived to be the stronghold for opposition UNPD.
The Minister stated that serving in Patriotic Front (PF) lead government does not make him a lesser Tonga to facilitate the alleged scheme he said cannot be implemented in Southern Province.
And Dr. Hamukale says the process of getting NRCs in Southern Province is going on well but observed the need to sensitize people to know that NRC is a constitutional right to a person who has reached the age of 16 years.
PF niba Onion mumenso twanaka nabo ba pompwe!
This is a ploy by the tribal upnd party. They always use lies to make their stronghold areas think that they are being disadvantaged as a trible or region. They play on their minds to get their votes. Meanwhile the development we have taken to those areas is easy for all to see. In fact is one of the reasons we won the recent by elections in upnd stronghold. Fake news by upnd won’t help them. Voetsek
When you say ‘we’ what do you mean? It’s PF feels as if they own zambia.infact PF can’t survive any election without going tribal against southern province.2021 is fast approaching you will cry.

PF niba Onion mumenso twanaka nabo bamambala! The police and Army should arrest the pompwe who said ubomba mwibala alya mwibala, and that kaponya minister Boman Lufyono who steals for the future of his family!
Ba Hamukale, even though you are Tonga, you know that what will keep you out of prison is by keeping PF in power by hook or crook. You are a Tonga that feeds from the proceeds of PF corruption. Remember Tonga people are not foolish to be told why NRCs are important. Why didn’t you question the justification for scheduling the mobile NRC in Southern province to the second phase instead of the first phase? Are you not aware of the delays experienced by some people in Southern province who wish to obtain NRCs? What have you done to address the complaints of delays in issuing NRCs?
This stigma will never end even if UPND wins next election because of the way one tribe and province is tagged to a political party.
Adviser, it is Zambian citizens who will end the tribal and regional stigma under the multi-party system in Zambia. If UPND wins and adheres to PF tribal pandemic conduct, I am sure many Zambians including people from Southern province will condemn UPND. Trust me on this. Having suffered stigmatisation from PF, UPND has all the incentives to avoid tribal and regional politics. If UPND wont fulfill the obligation to avoid tribal and regional politics, then the people of Zambia will vote UPND out of office after just one term in office. It is unfortunate that UPND is currently not allowed to freely campaign in so called PF strongholds.
In Southern province you will hear countless excuses such as lack of cards, lack of photographic paper, lack of laminating material when you go for a NRC until you get frustrated and give up. In PF strongholds they even provide you transport or come with all the equipment to your doorstep.
African Union has suspended Mali for over the coup, they must also suspend Zimbabwe over Mnangagwa’s 2017 coup which has continued to this day, 25 people killed & 50 women raped?
TAKAPITE!
LUNGU takapite!
End of Dununa reverse is 2021, so be vigilant bane n get your NRCs asap
What is so special about the people of Southern Province? Is it because they are so hell bent about having there own son to rule one day?
Iwe Kci, stick to the subject matter under discussion. The concerns of people in southern province is ably raised by Razor above who writes “In Southern province you will hear countless excuses such as lack of cards, lack of photographic paper, lack of laminating material when you go for a NRC until you get frustrated and give up. In PF strongholds they even provide you transport or come with all the equipment to your doorstep.” People of Southern province are not asking for any special attention but their constitutional rights to NRC as Zambians full stop.
